Will it fit? 45mm case, 11mm thick · 22mm strap

Will it fit?

Almost certainly. The bracelet is made of links and comes with the tool to take them out or put them back, so it adjusts a long way in both directions.

If you want to check first, it takes about thirty seconds.

  1. Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist, just past the bone. Snug, not tight.
  2. Mark where it meets, then lay it flat against a ruler. No ruler? A bank card is 8.5cm wide.
  3. That number is your wrist size.

Watch Description

Introducing "Barrel" - where luxury meets a touch of audacious charm. Handcrafted from reclaimed American white oak whiskey barrels, straight from the heart of Kentucky, this isn't just a timepiece; it's a statement. Think of it as wearing history on your wrist, but with way less dust.

The robust 45mm stainless steel frame is as timeless as a classic novel, holding the captivating swirls of the wood - each a fingerprint of Mother Nature, elegantly dipped in whiskey.

The journey begins in Kentucky, with oak barrels absorbing the whiskey's rich amber hues, their character deep and complex. These barrels are reborn, their unique patina and textures narrating tales of heritage and tradition. Each "Barrel" is an artifact of history, a testament to craftsmanship and respect for our shared world.

But "Barrel" isn't just a pretty face. With each purchase, 10 trees are planted, marrying luxury to conscientious living. This timepiece is a testament to style with purpose, for those who want to make an impact beyond fashion

Bad Ass!
This was not the watch I had initially wanted to order. I was going to return it and get the one I wanted. I had to see one of these amazing timepieces in person. Once I opened it and saw it up close, I changed my mind immediately! Absolutely amazing work and it looks even better than online. Now I'm saving to order another. Keep up the great work; you've found another lifelong customer.

Best Whiskey Barrel Watch
I compared several brands that make Whiskey Barrel Watches including OG, in the end I chose this, when I received it I was very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality, and crucially it was the best value for money, as a whisky enthusiast I think it's a recommended brand, and the money you save on the same quality is enough for you to add another bottle of good wine to your collection!
