All Along the Watchtower: Timex Oversize Camper

timex-oversize-camper-green-490.jpgWe saw this Timex military-inspired watch a few weeks ago at Basel and it's still the fixation of our attention. It has the kind of functionality and affordability you've come to expect from a Timex, and it's got that rugged and classic appeal the military issue watches from decades ago held. Moreover though, it's the kind of watch you look forward to wearing on the weekend—the sort of no-fuss, handsome piece you can throw on with whatever on the way out the door. This one's got a little wider resin case than the previous model (40mm), an exchangeable nylon band, and an Indiglo dial for the nights you actually use it while camping. They'll be hitting stores in July for $50 a piece, so keep your eyes peeled.
