Timex’s Expedition Scout is one of the easiest ways to get into the company’s field watches without burning a hole in your pocket. And if you’ve been eyeing an affordable everyday watch with a classic military-inspired design, now would be a perfect time to take the plunge, with Amazon offering two 40mm Expedition Scout models at a solid discount.

For a limited time, you can pick up the 40mm Timex Expedition Scout watch with a black dial and a brown leather strap for just $37, a solid 32% off its listed $54.26 price. The beige model is also on sale and can be had for $40.69, or 25% off its list price.

At $37, the Timex Expedition Scout makes a compelling case for a rugged watch, offering a 40mm brass case with a matte finish, a quartz movement, and 50-meter water resistance. The dial uses large Arabic numerals for the primary 12-hour scale, while a smaller inner track provides 24-hour markings. Meanwhile, the hands and hour markers are designed to remain legible at a glance.

You also get an Indiglo backlight, which lets you illuminate the dial at the push of a button, while a 20mm brown leather strap completes the field-watch look, with stitched detailing and a traditional buckle closure, giving these watches a slightly more refined look than the fabric-strap models.

Neither is going to compete with more expensive mechanical field watches on specs, but that's not the point. The Scout is an entry-level offering. It's positioned as an affordable, no-nonsense everyday watch that gets the job done, and these discounts make it an even more tempting option for anyone looking for a dependable field watch from a known brand without spending a small fortune.
