The Item: The Timex Nylon Camper

For the longest time, I've been going back to the J.Crew website to catch a glimpse of this beautiful Timex timepiece designed exclusively for the brand. Time and again, I'd be frustrated when I look at its sweet minimalistic design, lightweight nylon straps, and vintage watch face complete with military time. The only thing that made me feel better was the high asking price, since I can't buy it anyways if it was suddenly made available here.

Needless to say, I've been searching for a cheaper alternative from local Timex stores here, but to no avail. That is, until this past Saturday, when I found myself looking for bargains in the increasingly awesome Robinson's Galleria Department Store. Well, well, well, would you look at that. Introducing the Timex Camper: Minimalistic design, nylon straps, vintage military watch face - it was exactly what I was looking for. Different color options too and only for P1,990? Jack-'effin-pot. Screw the J.Crew version; this one's the winner right 'ere.

Got the black number, but definitely digging that military khaki too!

Look at that beaute. This watch has been a long time coming!
