Timex Indiglo | Rotating Compass Bezel | Two-Tone | Navy NATO | Pre-Owned

Timex Indiglo Rotating Compass Bezel | Two-Tone | Navy NATO Strap

Before GPS made orienteering a software problem, Timex built this — a full rotating compass/navigator bezel watch with N/S/E/W cardinal points, 360° degree graduation, plus dual nautical knot and kilometer speed scales running along the inner ring. The Indiglo electroluminescent backlight glows the entire dial blue-green with a single button press, a trick that felt like witchcraft in 1994 and still lands well today. This is a clean, honest 90s piece with genuine character, paired with a classic navy-and-white NATO strap that suits the nautical theme perfectly.
