Watch DescriptionWhat makes this watch what it is
Olivewood and gold: VICTORIA is the classic one. The warm grain suits the golden hands and markers, and the 40mm case sits neatly from office to evening.
The wooden link strap adjusts by removing links, with the small tool in the box, or a watch shop will size it while you wait. Inside is a Miyota quartz movement, content with a battery change every couple of years.
It arrives in a wooden gift box, ready to give. Ten trees are planted through Tree-Nation for every watch sold, the two-year warranty covers manufacturing faults, and you have 90 days to send it back if it is not right, engraved or not. Engraving, if you want it, is done by laser in our London workshop.

Common questionsAre wooden watches any good? Waterproof? Sizing?
Are wooden watches any good?
Yes, as a gift they will wear — with honest limits. They are real wood, lighter than steel, and the grain is different on every case. They are splash-proof, not waterproof. They are not as tough as a steel sports watch. We back them with a two-year warranty and 90-day returns, engraved or not.
How long do wooden watches last?
Years of daily wear if you keep them dry. The two-year warranty is the promise in writing. Most Forest watches are quartz, so a battery change every few years is the usual service. Riverstone and Woodhaven are automatic: no battery, wound by the motion of the wrist. What fails first, if anything, is moisture from a soaking, or the quartz battery.
Can wooden watches get wet?
Splash-proof: rain and washing your hands are fine. Not for swimming, showers or the sea. Wood and water are a bad mix if you soak the watch. Dry it if it gets wet, and do not leave it in a steamy bathroom.
Is wood a good 5th-anniversary gift?
Yes. Wood is the traditional gift for a fifth wedding anniversary. A wooden watch is one they wear, not another board or frame. Engraving is £25 for up to 50 characters, done in our London workshop, and you can still send it back for 90 days if it is not right. Ten trees are planted with every watch, through Tree-Nation.
Engraved and still returnable for 90 days.
