W
WOOD WATCHES
EARTH
Earth watches allow anyone to enjoy the soft touch of
wood on your wrist for less than you might think. Each
variation on this page is currently for sale on www.
earthwoodgoods.com – for under $100, although a
chronograph version does reach up to the $150 mark.
Comfortable on the wrist and super light weight, every
individual wood watch has their own personality based on
unique grain and typical color. Of course you can’t expect
the same cold precision of a steel watch on the case
and bezel, but that’s part of the appeal. Almost like beer,
wood offers the hues of a pale blond, deep amber or
even a dark stout. Earth watches use a Japanese quartz
movement, are “splash” resistant and will even float for a
brief period if dropped in the water!
