Timex's latest Harry Potter watch hides an unexpected trick beneath its black dial

Timex has expanded its Harry Potter watch collection with a new Expedition Scout model that incorporates some of the franchise's most recognisable symbols. The new Harry Potter x Timex Expedition Scout (TW6A05700) combines the familiar design of Timex's outdoor-oriented watch series with numerous references to the fictional wizard. More importantly, it has a neat party trick hidden beneath its dial.

The watch features a predominantly black dial with large Arabic numerals and a seconds hand shaped like Harry Potter's iconic lightning-bolt scar. However, the more interesting detail is only visible when its Indiglo backlight is activated. When activated, it illuminates the outline of Harry's signature round spectacles across the dial, a clever nod to the character without permanently cluttering the watch face.

Underneath the Harry Potter branding, this is a conventional Expedition Scout with a 40 mm black brass case measuring 10.5 mm thick, a mineral crystal, and a quartz movement powered by a CR2016 battery. Its hands and hour markers are luminous, while the 20 mm black fabric strap features leather tabs. The case back is engraved with the Harry Potter logo, and the watch offers 50 metres of water resistance.

The new model joins the broader Harry Potter x Timex collaboration, which already includes several Hogwarts house-themed Weekender watches and more elaborate offerings such as the Waterbury Skeleton Automatic.

Interestingly, the watch is already listed in multiple international markets. Timex India's official website carries the TW6A05700X6 for ₹15,495 ($162) while European retailers list the corresponding TW6A05700 reference. Spanish retailer Watchard has it listed for €169, while Poland's Zegarek.net offers it for PLN 749 ($190). Holland Watch Group identifies it as part of Timex's Autumn/Winter 2026 collection and lists it for $170 with import duties included.  There is no indication that the watch is exclusive to a particular market. Although its exact original launch date remains unclear, multiple retailers identify it as a new arrival.
