詹姆斯品牌 × Timex 自動 GMT：Timex 有史以來最好的手錶？

James Brand × Timex 自動 GMT 是一款日本製造的全鈦限量版四指針腕錶，配備 Miyota 9075 機芯，獲得鐘錶合作「tue GMT」資格

EDC outfit The James Brand out of Portland joined forces with Timex back in 2021 to deliver a titanium field watch collab. Following the success of their first joint effort, the pair unveiled a white-dial variant of the field watch in 2022, and then a special edition Timex Ironman watch in 2023. Now, the American horological outfit has once again linked up with James°, this time debuting what’s not only the most significant Timex x TJB collab to date, but what very well may ultimately be the best watch that Timex has ever produced in its 170 years in operation.

波特蘭的 EDC 機構 The James Brand 早在 2021 年就與 Timex 聯手推出了一款鈦金屬野外手錶合作款。繼首次合作取得成功後，兩人於 2022 年推出了一款白色錶盤的野外腕錶，並於 2023 年推出了特別版 Timex Ironman 腕錶。次首次亮相不僅是迄今為止最重要的Timex x TJB 合作，而且很可能最終成為Timex 運營170 年來生產的最好的手錶。

Allow us to introduce you to the all-new The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT Watch.

請容許我們向您介紹全新的 The James Brand × Timex 自動 GMT 腕錶。

The Case

案子

Made in Japan, The James Brand × Timex Automatic GMT is constructed around a newly-designed 41mm barrel-shaped case that’s been milled from grade 5 titanium. Only 11.5mm thick, the case features a unidirectional-rotating coin edge bezel with a 24-hour GMT scale and an aluminum insert, along with a matching coin edge screw-down crown with an enamel fill-in — items that afford the GMT 200 meters of water resistance. The top of the case has also been fitted with an AR-coated sapphire crystal while the bottom of the GMT’s titanium housing has been capped off with a TJB-logoed sapphire crystal exhibition case back.

James Brand × Timex 自動 GMT 腕錶於日本製造，採用全新設計的 41 毫米桶形錶殼，由 5 級鈦金屬銑削而成。錶殼厚度僅11.5 毫米，配備單向旋轉硬幣邊緣錶圈，帶有24 小時GMT 刻度和鋁製嵌件，以及配套的硬幣邊緣旋入式錶冠（帶琺瑯填充）——這些都是GMT 200 的配置米防水。錶殼頂部還配備了 AR 塗層藍寶石水晶玻璃，而 GMT 鈦金屬外殼的底部則配有帶有 TJB 標誌的藍寶石水晶玻璃錶背。

The Bracelet

手鍊

To complement the novel 6AL-4V case design, Timex and TJB have also bestowed the GMT with an H-link alloy bracelet that’s also been brought to life in top-shelf grade 5 titanium. Equipped with quick-release spring-bars, this 20mm bracelet also features a titanium butterfly clasp. On top of the titanium H-link bracelet, the watch also ships with an included perforated quick-release resin strap with 6AL-4V titanium hardware. The liberal use of titanium for both the case and bracelet ultimately allow this four-hander to tip the scales at just 4.2oz.

為了補充新穎的 6AL-4V 錶殼設計，Timex 和 TJB 也為 GMT 配備了 H 形鏈節合金錶鍊，該錶鏈也採用頂級 5 級鈦金屬製成。這款 20 毫米錶鍊配有快速釋放彈簧桿，還配有鈦金屬蝴蝶扣。除了鈦金屬 H 型鏈環錶鍊外，手錶還配有 6AL-4V 鈦金屬配件的穿孔快速釋放樹脂錶帶。錶殼和錶鍊均大量使用鈦金屬，最終使這款四指針腕錶的重量僅為 4.2 盎司。

The Movement

運動

Keeping the whole thing ticking is a cutting-edge Miyota 9075 automatic GMT movement. This recently-released Japanese-made caliber boasts 24 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve. On display via the watch’s exhibition case back, the movement is not only highly accurate, but it also makes this new horological collab a “true GMT” — i.e. a four-hand watch that can have its local hour hand independently adjusted when traveling without needing to stop the movement.

尖端的 Miyota 9075 自動 GMT 機芯可讓整個裝置保持運轉。這款最近發布的日本製造機芯擁有 24 顆寶石和 42 小時動力儲存。透過腕錶的錶背展示，該機芯不僅高度精準，而且還使這款全新鐘錶合作腕錶成為「真正的GMT」——即一款四針腕錶，可在旅行時獨立調整本地時針，無需任何操作。

The Dial

錶盤

TJB and Timex’s new four-hander boasts a matte black dial with bar indices at every hour — save for 3 o’clock where a date window is located. Matching the bezel’s 24-hour GMT scale are interior 24-hour markings. There’s also co-branding from both companies, with a Timex logo just above the center of the hand-set and a TJB logo directly beneath it. To complement TJB's signature lime green accent-colored hand — a hue also adorning the watch’s bezel pip and crown fill-in — the watch’s dial, hour markers, and hands have also been bestowed with Super-LumiNova C1 lume glowing in a matching bright green.

TJB 和 Timex 的新四針腕錶採用霧面黑色錶盤，每個小時都有條形刻度——除了 3 點鐘位置設有日期窗口。內部 24 小時標記與錶圈的 24 小時 GMT 刻度相符。兩家公司還有聯合品牌，Timex 標誌位於手機中心上方，TJB 標誌位於手機正下方。為了與TJB 標誌性的檸檬綠強調色指針（手錶的錶圈尖頭和錶冠填充物也採用這種色調）相得益彰，手錶的錶盤、時標和指針也塗有Super-LumiNova C1 夜光材料，發出與之相配的亮綠色光芒。
