Get ready to embark on your next adventure with Hegid's freshly redesigned EXPEDITION watch—an extraordinary fusion of style, durability, and utility, poised to redefine the expectations of modern explorers.

Originally unveiled at Baselworld 2019, this iconic explorer watch is set to make a triumphant return in April 2025, featuring an impressive redesign that enhances its rugged aesthetics and functional specifications. Whether you're trekking through the wilderness or navigating a bustling urban landscape, the EXPEDITION's bold features are tailored for the intrepid adventurer.

Built on the legacy of off-road legends, the EXPEDITION embodies the spirit of endurance and versatility, constructed using Swiss-French engineering. One of its standout features is the innovative EVOL modular system, allowing wearers to effortlessly swap out capsules, cases, and straps in mere seconds, ensuring that your watch adapts just as quickly as you do—without compromising its horological precision.

The newly revamped EXPEDITION boasts a striking asymmetrical case composed of two parts made from robust 316L stainless steel. Its distinctive crown protector, evoking the design of off-road grille guards, emphasizes both style and function. The combination of polished and satin finishes creates a sophisticated yet assertive look, making it suitable for both formal settings and rugged escapades.

Featuring a black grained-texture dial that mirrors the look of racetrack pavement and gravel paths, the watch enhances readability significantly. Advanced 3D Super-Luminova technology on the hour markers and hands ensures brilliant visibility even in the dimmest conditions, while a dual-counterbalanced seconds hand facilitates precise 30-second chronometric readings. The practical date window at the 4 o'clock position serves as a handy feature for travelers and busy professionals alike.

At the heart of the EXPEDITION lies Hegid's flagship Specimen FE-01 movement, a French-made automatic powerhouse that provides an impressive 44-hour power reserve and maintains an impressive precision of -4/+6 seconds per day. Securely housed within a shock-resistant capsule encased in the sturdy outer shell, the intricate movement can be appreciated through an anti-reflective sapphire case back, showcasing Hegid's commitment to craftsmanship.

This timepiece isn’t just water-resistant to an impressive 100 meters; it’s engineered to withstand immersion and impact, catering to adventurers who constantly push their limits. Designed to facilitate easy alterations, the patented EVOL fastener made from Grade 5 titanium ensures that wearers can switch configurations seamlessly and stylishly. Each EXPEDITION also features a unique unit serial number, marking its exclusivity.

To maximize versatility, each EXPEDITION comes packaged in a custom wooden case complete with two interchangeable straps. The Mission strap is crafted from durable calf leather and integrates a quick-release system, ideal for both formal occasions and rugged adventures. For more active pursuits, the Performance strap—crafted from durable military-inspired dual-strand fabric—provides breathable comfort.

Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of functional art that combines bold aesthetics with unparalleled performance. Prepare to set forth on your next adventure with the reimagined Hegid EXPEDITION—where rugged elegance meets modern practicality.
