Timex's Expedition Ridge digital chronograph launches in more markets with a negative display

Timex has listed the digital Expedition Ridge, reference TW4B34500, on its UK store at 95 pounds, where it has a 'New' badge. However, the watch itself is not new as a product. It's been live in the US since February 2026, and Timex's Philippine retailers have it in stock at 7,879.5 pesos. What changed is UK availability.

It is worth separating this from the Expedition Ridge watches already on sale in Britain. Those, references TW4B32000, TW4B32100 and TW4B32200, are analog, built around a 43 mm metal case with a crown protector and decorative N, S, E and W markings, rated to 50 m and covered by mineral glass. The TW4B34500 shares the family name and little else.

This one is digital, and while Timex's marketing calls the case resin, its own spec sheet is more precise: PC+GF, or glass-fibre-reinforced polycarbonate, moulded into a single piece and finished in matte black. The case is 43 mm across and 13 mm tall and the watch weighs 53.34 g, with an acrylic crystal in place of mineral glass. The display is a negative LCD, pale figures on a dark field, carrying a chronograph, an alarm and a countdown timer behind the time, with the Indiglo backlight illuminating the whole panel.

The case comes on a green silicone strap with a buckle. Amazon's US listing describes it as a two-piece quick-release design, which would allow tool-free strap changes, though Timex's own UK page makes no mention of that. Timex quotes no other dimensions, and there is no stated battery life.

The company gives no separate UK release date. The watch is orderable now rather than on preorder. The reference also doesn't have a separate market suffix on the UK store, unlike the VQ-coded version Amazon sells in the US, which makes cross-market price comparison much easier than it usually is with Timex.
