Timex Expedition Indiglo Instruction Manual
Timex released its first Ironman watch in 1984. In 1992, the Timex Ironman received a new lighting system based on electroluminescence called the Indiglo lighting system that consumed less power than other watch illumination systems.
It seems that almost everyone, from doctors to professional athletes, owns a Timex Triathlon watch with Indiglo lighting. Features common on all models of the Timex Triathlon Indiglo watch are 100-hour chronograph and chronograph recall, multiple lap storage, programmable alarms, multiple time zones, day and date display, 12-hour or 24-hour display and Indiglo illumination. The watch contains four buttons: Stop/Reset, Indiglo, Mode, and Set/Recall.
