Vintage 1990s Timex T48601 Expedition Indiglo Ana-Digi Quartz Mens Watch with White Dials In Good Condition but Needs New Battery
THIS LISTING IS FOR A VINTAGE TIMEX EXPEDITION INDIGLO ANA-DIGI QUARTZ MENS WATCH. This vintage Timex T48601 Expedition wristwatch for men is a reliable timepiece that combines analogue and digital display. With a quartz movement, this watch features a two-piece nylon and canvas strap in brown colour, Arabic numeral indices on a cream-coloured dial.
The watch has a water resistance of 50 metres (5 ATM) and comes with features like an LCD display, central second, date indicator, seconds hand, multifunction, day indicator, luminous hands, timer, backlight, alarm, acrylic crystal, 12-hour dial, day/date, and push/pull crown.
THIS WATCH IS A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY VINTAGE WATCH COLLECTION. Timex introduced the Indiglo night light during the Christmas shopping season in 1992. Indiglo made headlines as a result of the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing in which an office worker wearing a Timex with an Indiglo night light used its light to guide a group of evacuees down 40 dark flights of stairs.
While the past 30 years have seen Indiglo dials spread to nearly every Timex model, the invention itself represented a technological revolution in the history of watchmaking.

TIMEX WATCHES (1854-present): Timex Group USA, Inc. (formerly known as Timex Corporation) is an American global watch manufacturing company founded in 1854 as the Waterbury Clock Company in Waterbury, Connecticut. In 1944, the company became insolvent but was reformed into Timex Corporation. ITS SLOGAN: IT TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING BECAME FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the American watch and clock industry was devastated by the arrival of cheap mechanical watches from the Far East, as well as the development of digital quartz watches pioneered by Japanese companies. Timex introduced the Indiglo night light during the Christmas shopping season in 1992. Indiglo made headlines as a result of the February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing in which an office worker wearing a Timex with an Indiglo night light used its light to guide a group of evacuees down 40 dark flights of stairs. DEVELOPED BY TIMEX IN THE EARLY 90S, OUR INDIGLO® NIGHT LIGHT ALLOWS YOU TO TELL THE TIME IN THE DARK WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON. This caused sales to immediately take off and led to an increase in Timex's American market share.
