Sapphire Crystal
Nearly impossible to scratch, the sapphire crystal lens is as hard and clear as a gemstone. There are only a few materials known to the world that can scratch it.
Sapphire Crystal
Scratch-resistant
Sapphire is the hardest crystal available. Given its hardness it is near impossible to scratch, however, it can be prone to shattering if subjected to a heavy impact. Its scratch resistance is very desirable and as such there is a higher cost to sapphire versus other crystals.

Reviews
A lot of watch for money
"Excellent watch looks great hopefully will be as long lasting as an eco drive a lot of watch for money"
Was looking at a far
"Was looking at a far more expensive field style watch, but got this instead. Absolutely love it. Same vibe as a much more expensive product but with better power (solar), strap, and build vs the alternative. Ten for ten!"
Amazing watch. Sapphire crystal as
"Amazing watch. Sapphire crystal as standard is amazing and so durable. Strap is comfortable and wears well, and face is legible and clear. Love the solar power!"
The watch is very comfortable
"The watch is very comfortable and appealing, but the control dial on the side seems slightly bent and it disengages rather frequently, stopping the watch. I've had the watch for about a week now."
Cool watch, best with nato
"Cool watch, best with nato strap."
Great watch!
"Great watch!"
A New Classic
"Looks, wears and feels like a quality product. The mat stainless steel case is flawlessly finished, strap pleasing thick yet very comfortable and the sapphire crystal has resisted scratches with ease despite my less than careful use. The quick release straps work well allowing you to easily swap the straps for a third party item if you want a different look or use. Its smaller size sits really well on my small wrist but wouldn't look out of place on a larger arm. So far it has kept excellent time and while the second hand doesn't hit the second markers bang on, it's close enough. Layout of the face is very clear with the sutbly raised numbers and stepped dial a very pleasing and a classy touch. The only features which are slightly disappointing are the use of a light grey colour on the numerals (not white) and the less than effective luminous hands and hour markers. I have found this does make it slightly harder to read in dimmer light conditions and you wouldn't be able to tell the time in the dark at all once the 'glow' has warn off (which doesn't last very long). For me this is far from a deal breaker, for what is a good value, quality built, classically styled, solar powered field watch which doesn't look out of place in the office with a suit, or on the hills."
Like the old commercial says
"Like the old commercial says it took a lickin but kept on tickin"
Very pleased!
"Just as described, this fitted perfectly what I wanted; I find the strap too rigid and have easily changed to a fabric one of which there are hundreds to choose from online."
Q&A

- Is the 36mm expedition field post solar available with the darker brown leather strap that is on the 41mm version?
- Hello James! Thank you for reaching out with your question about the 36mm Expedition Field Post Solar watch. Unfortunately, this model does not come with the darker brown leather strap that is featured on the 41mm version. We always recommend checking out our selection of compatible straps on our website for possible alternatives that might suit your style!
- The length of the watch strap are in numbers when you go to order. What are their actual lengths?
- Hi Anthony! The Expedition Field Post Solar 36mm Eco-Friendly Leather Strap Watch fits wrist circumferences from 150 mm to 205 mm, which translates to about 5.9 inches to 8.1 inches. This range ensures a comfortable fit for most wrist sizes.
- I have an expedition North 36 mm watch and I do construction work so I am extremely hard on watches I have used this watch every day for two years and two heavy duty leather bands and the watch still looks brand new! No scratches or scuffs and the the time has only been a few seconds off I'd like to leave a review and possibly pictures to show how incredibly well made this watch is. I have a small collection including Citizens Bulova and Seiko and none of them can compare to the durability or accuracy of my everyday Timex that is a third of the price
- Hello Christopher! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Expedition North 36mm Watch! We truly appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to hear how durable and accurate the watch has been for you. We’d love to see your review and pictures! You can leave your review directly on the product page on the Timex website or, if you'd prefer, you can also reach out to our customer service team for assistance in submitting your review.
- I'm looking at the Timex MK1 36mm handwind, my only concern is the crystal/acrylic glass, the Expedition Field solar 36mm which has crystal/sapphire glass. Is this better of the two.
- Hi John! Both watches are excellent, but they have distinct features. The Timex MK1 36mm Handwind has an acrylic crystal, which tends to be more susceptible to scratches compared to the Expedition Field Solar 36mm, which has a mineral or sapphire crystal, offering better durability and scratch resistance. If scratch resistance and durability are your primary concerns, the Expedition Field Solar 36mm might be a better choice for you. However, the MK1 offers a classic, vintage look that many find appealing. Let us know if you need more info to help make your decision!
