If you missed out on one of the most talked-about watch releases earlier this year, here’s your second chance. Timex and lifestyle curator Bespoke Post have quietly restocked their highly sought-after limited-edition field watch, sending a wave of excitement through watch forums and style communities. Originally launched in April 2025, the initial run vanished almost instantly, leaving many enthusiasts empty-handed. As of December 2025, a fresh batch is now available, but with a notable change: the price.
A Modern Take on a 1970s Icon
This 36mm quartz timepiece isn’t a brand-new design from the ground up. It’s a thoughtful reinterpretation of a classic: the 1970s Timex Viscount. The designers have meticulously captured the essence of that era’s tool watches while ensuring it meets modern standards for daily wear.
The watch features a distinctive stainless steel barrel-shaped case, a design cue straight from the archives. Topping it is a domed acrylic crystal, chosen specifically to produce that warm, vintage-like distortion that collectors adore. The dial is a masterclass in functional, military-inspired design. It features luminous hands and markers for low-light visibility, bold Arabic numerals, and a pop of utilitarian color with a red 24-hour inner track, yellow minute markers, and a standout orange seconds hand. Notably, the crosshair-style dial forgoes a date window, preserving a clean, uncluttered "military surplus" aesthetic.
For the specs-focused, the watch offers a very wearable 11mm thickness and a 41.5mm lug-to-lug width, making it an ideal fit for a wide range of wrists. It includes practical features like a screw-down caseback, Bespoke Post branding on the crown and caseback, and a solid 50 meters of water resistance—enough for everyday accidents and then some.
Built for Comfort and Versatility
Understanding that a great watch is only as good as its strap, the collaboration pairs the case with an 18mm olive Cordura fabric strap. It combines rugged, nylon-like durability on the outside with a soft leather lining against the skin for all-day comfort. The inclusion of quick-release spring bars is a welcome modern touch, allowing you to swap straps in seconds without tools, offering endless customization to match your mood or outfit.

The Re-Stock Details: What’s New?
The collaboration debuted on April 24, 2025, exclusively through Timex and Bespoke Post’s websites, where it sold out in a flash. The restock was announced via social media and press channels on December 9, 2025. However, this second chance comes with an update: the watch is now priced at approximately $199. This represents an increase from its original launch price, which was reported to be between $150 and $159. For fans of the design, the premium may be worth it for another shot at a piece that was nearly impossible to find.
Where It Fits in the Watch World
This release is a prime example of Timex's Co_Labs program, which focuses on archive-inspired, limited-quantity collaborations rather than mass-market products. Its sub-40mm size is a deliberate nod to vintage proportions, directly appealing to watch aficionados and collectors who prefer authentic, wrist-hugging dimensions over the larger, bulkier field watches commonly found today.
It’s a piece that bridges the gap between accessible heritage and contemporary style, offering storytelling and design details typically found in much higher price brackets.
If the blend of 1970s military charm and modern practicality speaks to you, the window to own one is open again—but likely not for long.
You can find the Timex Expedition North Field Post Solar 36mm watch available for purchase on Amazon.
