Wooden watches are not as popular as classic steel watches around the world. So I do believe that many people are unfamiliar with wood watches. Even the kinds of wood materials.
In this case, I would love to share with you some kinds of materials for wooden watches for men and women.
1)"Zebrawood", some also call "Zebra Crossing":
You can imagine the skin of the zebras. Wild and clear stripes. The zebrawood is with golden basic and with dark brown stripes. Its texture is easy to recognize I think. Also, it makes the watches lightweight. Let me show you an example, this is a wood watch design with a zebrawood skeleton.
2) "Walnut":
Different from the zebrawood, the walnut material has a finer texture. The wooden watches made by walnut are so popular with people around the world. It helps to let the watch designs look vintage and more natural. This is a watch design with a full walnut skeleton.
3, "Ebony", is mainly produced in tropical Asia, such as Sulawesi and the Philippines. Aliases: ebony, black rosewood, black and white sandalwood.
Very common wood watch material. You can see many black wooden watches on the market, they are made of ebony. Using ebony, the hardness of the watch will be higher, and it is also heavier than zebrawood or walnut. When you own a watch made of ebony, it usually goes well with clothes and goes with any skin tone. Take a look at this classic ebony watch.
4)"Olive": mainly distributed in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea, has a beautiful texture and atmospheric color.
Because of its pure and clean appearance and light fragrance, it is usually used to make ladies' wooden watches.
5）"Maple": Does it look a bit similar to olive wood, and I don't know how to distinguish it? let me tell you.
It can be seen from the naked eye that the surface of olive wood is very smooth. Maple is significantly less dense than olive, and some tiny pores can be seen on the surface. Like zebrawood, maple wood is rough. But the color of maple looks very clean and more importantly it is exceptionally light, lighter than all the woods mentioned above. Also commonly used to make women's watches. Show you an example.
6) "Red Sandalwood": Red sandalwood, alias: Lingnan mountain jasmine, Xiaohuashan jasmine, red iron pigeon bean, red hardwood. Distributed in tropical America and Africa. It has a fine and compact structure, and the wood is shiny and hard.
Red sandalwood is used for both men's and women's watches. Watches made of red sandalwood look better and stand out in a crowd. Here to check a wood watch for men with red sandalwood.
Besides, there are also some other natural wood materials used for wooden watches. Such as oak, green sandalwood, Acacia, teak, etc. But we just need to know some usual kinds of wood material. Hope you had learned something from the article.
