When Timex released their new version of the Camper watch in green and black, you couldn’t open a website that had anything to do with men’s style without seeing it. The very utilitarian green and black color options were great, but outside of the nylon strap everything was pretty much plastic. Even worse, it was near impossible to actually pick one up because every “blogger” and their brother was too busy buying them all up. Obviously it had some shortcomings, but Timex seems to have resolved all of those with this new version of the iconic Camper. It’s the same style round analog watch with date, but the plastic housing is now stainless. The strap is now a combination of nylon and leather so it won’t dig into your wrist when you wear it every day. It’s also the same size, so all those replacement watch bands you bought will fit this one too.
