Portland-based EDC maestro The James Brand and legendary watchmaker Timex are back with a bang, unveiling what might be their most remarkable collaboration yet. Following the buzzworthy releases of their titanium field watch and the special edition Timex Ironman, the duo now presents the all-new James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT. This horological marvel might just be the finest piece Timex has crafted in its storied 170-year history.
Crafted in Japan, this GMT watch boasts a 41mm barrel-shaped case made from grade 5 titanium, featuring a unidirectional-rotating coin edge bezel and a screw-down crown with enamel fill. It’s a true powerhouse, with 200 meters of water resistance and a robust Miyota 9075 automatic GMT movement, visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back. Paired with a titanium H-link bracelet and an additional perforated resin strap, this four-hand marvel not only promises functionality but also flaunts unmatched style with its matte black dial, Super-LumiNova C1 lume, and TJB’s signature lime green accents. At $749, this limited edition (only 1,000 pieces) is a steal, especially considering it’s arguably the best true GMT under $1,000.
