One of the most stylish, affordable timepieces around is the Military Field Watch by Timex. Its handsome grey dial draws inspiration from World war II-era aviation equipment, offering legibility and a utilitarian aesthetic. Boasting stainless steel construction, strong mineral glass crystal, a date display, Indiglo night-light, and 100 meters of water resistance, the Expedition makes for a fantastic casual daily wearer at an affordable price point of $35. Its quartz movement doesn’t require much maintenance, so you can throw the watch on your wrist (or swap in your favorite 20mm NATO or rubber strap) and forget it, knowing it'll keep time reliably throughout the day.

I love this watch. I've been wearing it daily for about a year and a half now. Great durability, and gets lots of compliments.

Same here! I picked it up after reading some reviews and it ends up being one of my most worn. I love my automatic Seiko but it's nice to have something that doesn't need to be kept wound that I don't mind getting knocked around a bit.

That's a good choice. Although I prefer the T49962 "Expedition Scout" Watch. It's about the same price ($32) and has a more traditional military look to it.

I haven't seen that one before! It may get added to the collection...
