Expedition I Karakum
27This fiery Expedition is named after Turkmenistan’s famed Karakum desert, home to the Darvaza crater, or the “Gates of Hell”. The massive man-made sinkhole has been leaking methane gas for decades, showing no signs of burning out anytime soon. Karakum Desert is also known by Gara Gum (“Black Sand”), and it occupies around 70 percent of Turkmenistan, extending some 500 miles (800 km) from west to east and 300 miles (500 km) from north to south. Did you know that fruit is grown in some areas of the desert? The nature of its multiple interdune depressions (takyr) form thick clay deposits, which act as catchment basins for its scarce moisture - thus allowing fruits such as melons and grapes to grow in its mineral-rich soil.
The Expedition I Karakum is built to outlast such challenging terrains, so strap yours on and gear up to get back on trek.
Each model is serialized from 001 - 300. Limited to 300 pieces.

CanadaI love the Expedition I Karakum!
It is a nice legible everyday watch. Surprisingly light weight, and easy to read at night.
United StatesTruly One of a Kind
This beauty of a Timepiece is the best watch that I currently own and I have a quite a few watches in my watch box. The construction, double domed sapphire crystal even looks non existent in certain angles (that's how clear this glass is) the swiss SW200-1 movement is such a workhorse and on my particular copy it's running -2/-3 per day which is IMPRESSIVE. I am an outdoors person and love testing my skills so the internal bezel compass was a HUGE plus for me. In the short time ive had the Expedition I've gotten so many compliments on this beauty and even a couple of friends of mine ended up getting this watch over others in the market. This is one tough Timepiece and I am glad I went with this one over the Hamilton Khaki field. I would recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a daily driver of a watch. Thank you!

Ive had this Beauty of a Timepiece now for over a week and I cant seem to put nothing else on my wrist. I have many watches in my watch box and this has become my DAILY driver. The construction, double domed sapphire crystal even looks non existent in certain angles (that's how clear this glass is!), the swiss SW200-1 movement is such a workhorse! On my particular copy it's running -2/-3 minutes a day and that is IMPRESSIVE! I am an outdoors person and love being in the outdoors testing my skills so the internal compass with the cardinal directions was a HUGE plus for me. I had a choice between this watch or the Hamilton Khaki field and I am glad I went with this one. In such a short time I've gotten many compliments on this beauty and even a couple of friends of mine ended up getting this watch over others in the market. Hands down the BEST watch in my collection so far! Thanks.
