Value Estimate
$80 - $150 USD (Retail); $40 - $70 USD (Secondary Market). Value is primarily driven by brand recognition and aesthetic appeal rather than horological complexity.
Care & Maintenance
Replace battery every 2 years to prevent leakage. Clean the silicone strap with mild soap and water. Avoid deep water exposure as fashion watch seals are not intended for professional diving.
Similar Watches
Fossil Machine, Diesel Mega Chief, or Nixon 51-30. Differences include the specific Timberland branding and the use of multi-function movements over true chronographs.
Interesting Facts
Timberland watches are produced under license, ensuring that the design language matches the footwear line. The subdials are often mistaken for a chronograph, but they actually track calendar functions and 24-hour time.
