Designed and Engineered for the Modern Explorer

With travel and adventure top of mind, we designed this watch from scratch, and we’re darn proud of where we’ve landed. The James Brand × Timex GMT is water resistant to 200 meters and the automatic Miyota GMT movement allows you to keep track of two time zones. The all-new 41mm titanium case is paired with a titanium bracelet, and we’ve included a secondary resin strap. With an anti-reflective coated sapphire crystal and caseback, a screw down crown and more titanium than you can shake a stick at, this one is designed to be on your wrist for a lifetime and beyond.

A diagram of The James Brand x Timex Automatic GMT watch.

The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT.

For our third collaboration with our friends at Timex, we’ve taken a more refined approach to the typical field watch. Departing from the usual rugged silhouette seen in more tactical watches, The James Brand × Timex GMT sports a more formal aesthetic with a sleek, 41mm case. Machined out of billet 6al-4v titanium, the watch features solid durability while remaining lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. Only one thousand units; when they are gone, they are gone.

Make It Yours.

With the unpredictable nature of adventure and travel in mind, The James Brand × Timex GMT is equipped with quick-release spring bars for easy strap changes on the go. It also includes two versatile attachment options: a titanium bracelet with a butterfly closure and a resin strap.

A Real GMT.

Featuring a Miyota 9075 automatic GMT movement with 24 jewels, the James° × Timex GMT is a real GMT, fully capable of keeping time in two time zones. This is a fully-automatic movement, meaning no winding is required (but you are welcome to wind it up if you’d like). With a rotating, unidirectional bezel and a 3-position screw down crown, this watch blends pure performance within a newly shaped titanium case.

Every Detail Considered. 

Standing out against the black dial are tapered hands and applied indices with Super-LumiNova® in-fill for enhanced readability, complemented by a convenient date window at 3 o'clock. All of this is housed underneath a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating for ultimate clarity. Flip the watch over to reveal a sapphire crystal exhibition window that reveals the intricate 24-jewel automatic movement. Reinforcing the case’s durability is a screw down crown that effectively keeps out dirt, dust, and moisture.

The Ultimate EDC Box Set. 

At the heart of everyday carry is a trifecta of utilitarian essentials: knife, watch and pen. Working with Timex we’ve created an everyday carry box set that features all three, in coordinated titanium finishes and with corresponding electric moss accents. The box set includes the James° × Timex automatic GMT watch, a limited-edition Chapter 2 knife, and a new titanium version of our Burwell click pen. This is a run of only 55 units, and makes for epic gifting for dads, grads and others in your life (including you).

Time after time

I love this watch. It is stylish. It is comfortable. It is incredibly well-made. The little pops of color stand out and catch the eye in the best possible way! As someone who travels quite a bit having a GMT is super helpful, but owning one is usually cost prohibitive. This didn’t break the bank, but it performs like it cost 10 times as much… Just an incredible job. I love it!

Perfect every day watch

I have a few watches that I consider to be great values for what I paid. The Timex x James Brand GMT is currently my favorite of all. I rely on the GMT hand because I work 9 time zones from my coworkers use the bezel to track a third time zone where my daughter lives.

I’ve been meaning to pick up something in titanium for a while, but nothing really spoke to me. I think this is a great case size and I love the design, including the non-tapering bracelet, which some people don’t like. The only thing that I would warn anyone looking at this watch about is the lack of micro adjustment on the bracelet. I got lucky and it fits me perfectly.

I’m glad that the Miyota GMT movement is making appearances in a lot of lower-priced watches, though I also own the Seiko 5 GMT and don’t mind the caller GMT function when I’m traveling. I think the Miyota movement is a bit zingy sounding when the rotor spins. Not a big deal, but noticeable.

When I ordered my watch, it came with a misaligned bezel, but after a couple emails between Timex and James Brand, they sent a replacement. I know that a lot of people have been saying, “$750 for a Timex!”, which I can understand, especially given my previous experiences with Timex over the years, but I’d challenge anyone to show me something with drastically better specs for the money.

It’s a great watch and the great customer service from James Brand in shipping me a new one was icing on the cake.
