Timex x Nigel Cabourn Sea Survival Watch

When it comes to watches that will look good, perform and hold-up for decades of wear–while still being affordable–you don’t have to look further than the timepieces that Timex produces. While the basic options fit the bill for all those specs, their collaboration versions are even better. Case in point–the Timex x Nigel Cabourn Sea Survival Watch. The third collaboration Timex has done with famed British designer Nigel Cabourn–check out the Timex x Nigel Cabourn Referee Watch for previous greatness–celebrates the Royal Air Force flight crews from WWII with a custom version of the 36mm MK1 field watch in stainless construction, striking yellow colorway and Ventile cotton strap. As they describe it, “paying tribute to the bravery of flight crews that crash-landed in the frigid North Atlantic, the “survival yellow” dial and Ventile strap recall the high-visibility life vests and Ventile flight suits worn by Royal Air Force pilots and crewmen during WWII; the vests aided in spotting and rescuing the crewmen in rough seas, and the Ventile immersion suits helped the men stay relatively warm and dry in the dangerously cold water.” The Timex x Nigel Cabourn Sea Survival Watch is available now direct from Timex.
