Timex National Parks Collection

Commemorate that family road trip on your wrist

When you head out to our National Park system, you can see some very interesting landscapes and wildlife. When you’re done touring the park, you can of course stop in at the gift shop, and pick up a magnet, sticker, t-shirt, or other souvenir to remember the trip by. Or, if you want, you could order up - ahead of time - a watch from the Timex National Parks collection.

What the Timex National Parks Collection is all about

Frankly, this is the sort of Timex that scratches the itch my teenage self would have had about a watch. Something that feels outdoorsy, gives you basic quartz timekeeping, and doesn’t break the bank. While the numerals and indices around the edge of the dial feel familiar to a Timex, it’s those vaguely retro park logos smack in the center that make things interesting, as well as the stylized arrow used for the seconds hand.

What parks do they have?

As it stands right now, they’ve got 13 parks in the collection, so odds are, you’ve probably been to one already, or might be headed to one this summer:

• Acadia

• Arches

• Denali

• Everglades

• Grand Canyon

• Grand Teton

• Great Smoky Mountains

• Joshua Tree

• Mount Ranier

• Rocky Mountain

• Yellowstone

• Yosemite

• Zion

• Zion

• Yellowstone

Wrapping things up

Coming in at $79 apiece, these would make a solid - and very useful - souvenir of a trip to one of our national parks. And with the 20mm lugs, these are just screaming out for a color-coordinated blanket-pattern strap to pick up the colors of the park logo you settle on.
