    Edit Slightly different design but in the sale

    'Plethora' denotes a large number, whereas 'gamut' denotes a range.

    Trusty Timex Expedition bronze case today
    Didn't like the tan leather strap it came with, swapped it out for something nicer.



    Love the lume on this,
    The whole dial glows green when you press the crown.



    Had a Timex that did this when I was a Kid, takes me back.
    Felt like James Bond

    I like that one Gaz.

    A watch you can read in dim or no light is very handy. Not sure how I lived without it.

    Got two Expeditions, here they are with my other Timexes. The blue one lights up but the green one is solar powered so kind of does the opposite.

    Just a few observations, 60m water resistance on a ‘dive’ watch is ridiculous as is the fact it’s fitted with a leather strap? It’s imaginatively priced at £1200 for a watch fitted with a £300 movement but I understand they regulate it.

    No, I don’t know why you need 5 alarms.
