2 great brands create solid watch for work

Take a classic American watchmaker and put it together with the first name in rugged work clothing and you have a watch that can live up to the one brand’s famous slogan: “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”

Timex has joined forces with Carhartt to create a watch that seems well suited for the wrist of any truck driver.

The Carhartt WIP features Timex’s Indiglo night light and an easy way to reset the date. It has a large, easy to read face, visible yellow sweep second hand and is waterproof to 50 meters.

The Carhartt WIP comes with two fabric bands: one green and the other black.
