Timberland Ellacoya-Z Chronograph Black Leather Strap Watch - W7693

Ref. TDWGC2091203

At 45mm in black PVD steel, this sits on the larger end for an everyday chronograph — it reads as a deliberate choice rather than a compromise, and on the wrist it carries that bulk with reasonable flatness for its size. The blue dial works against the blacked-out case in a way that gives it some depth without becoming flashy, and the grey sub-dials break up the face neatly without competing. The leather strap and tang buckle keep it grounded. There is nothing complicated here: a quartz chronograph that runs accurately, asks little of its owner, and suits someone who wants a large, purposeful-looking dial without anything precious about the watch itself.

Learn more about Timberland

Timberland grew out of the Abington Shoe Company, and took its name from the boot that made it: the waterproof yellow nubuck work boot introduced in 1973, which went from New England building sites to becoming a fixture of hip-hop style within a decade.

The watches are licensed. Timberland does not manufacture them; the line is produced under agreement by a specialist watch maker, and sold through the same outdoor and department-store channels as the footwear.

They follow the clothing rather than the other way round: chunky cases, canvas and leather straps, earth tones, luminous markers, water resistance suitable for weather rather than diving. Quartz movements throughout, priced to sit alongside a pair of boots rather than above them.

Bought as an outdoor-styled accessory that matches the rest of the wardrobe, they do exactly what is asked. They are not built by a watch company and do not claim to be.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
