Self-winding automatic watch with reclaimed rosewood and western-etched steel
Most wooden-accent watches settle for thin veneers glued to stamped steel, and most affordable automatics hide their movements behind opaque dials. This one commits to both: reclaimed rosewood thick enough to show real grain depth, and a skeleton face that actually lets you see the rotor and jewels working. The western etching adds texture without relying on logos, and the combination of visible mechanics with natural material variation means you get both the satisfaction of a self-winding movement and a piece that looks distinct from the next one off the line. Worth it if you want an automatic that doesn't look like every other entry-level mechanical on the market.
Good gift when
- People who appreciate visible mechanical movements and traditional watchmaking
- Airstream enthusiasts who want a licensed piece tied to the brand
- Anyone switching from quartz watches and ready to try automatic winding
- Collectors seeking reclaimed-material timepieces with natural variation
Skip it if The 44mm case wears large and may overwhelm wrists under six and a half inches in circumference; try it on or measure before committing if case size matters to you.

The details
This automatic timepiece runs on kinetic energy drawn from everyday wear, eliminating the need for batteries or manual winding. A skeleton dial exposes the 20-jewel mechanical movement, showing gears and springs at work with each passing second. Reclaimed rosewood inlays appear throughout the bracelet and dial, paired with gunmetal stainless steel etched in a repeating western pattern.
The 44mm case houses a movement with a 40-hour power reserve, meaning it keeps running through a full weekend if you take it off Friday night. Sapphire crystal resists scratches better than mineral glass, and 5ATM water resistance covers rain, hand-washing, and splashes but not submersion. A transparent case back lets you watch the rotor spin as the watch winds itself.
Each piece uses genuine reclaimed rosewood, so grain patterns and color tones vary from watch to watch. The bracelet combines etched steel links with rosewood segments, secured with a fold-over clasp. At 22mm lug width, the band accommodates standard replacement straps if you want to swap materials or styles later.
Officially licensed in partnership with Airstream, the design carries vintage travel cues without tipping into costume territory. The skeleton dial keeps the face legible while exposing enough of the mechanism to satisfy curiosity. Engraving is available for personalization.

Questions
- Does this watch need a battery or manual winding?
- No battery is required. The automatic movement winds itself using the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day. If you wear it regularly, it stays powered without intervention. If left unworn for more than 40 hours, you can restart it by gently shaking it or manually winding the crown a few turns.
- Can I wear this watch in the shower or while swimming?
- No. The 5ATM water resistance rating covers rain, hand-washing, and accidental splashes, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or submersion. Exposure to hot water or steam can compromise the seals and damage the movement.
- Will the rosewood look the same as the photo?
- No two watches are identical because each uses genuine reclaimed rosewood with its own grain pattern and color variation. Your watch will have the same materials and construction, but the wood's natural character will differ from the images and from other units.
- How do I keep the automatic movement running when I'm not wearing it?
- If you take the watch off for a day or two, the 40-hour power reserve keeps it running. For longer periods, you can use a watch winder or simply set the time and date when you put it back on. Many automatic watch owners rotate between pieces and accept occasional resetting as part of ownership.
- Can I replace the bracelet with a different strap?
- Yes. The 22mm lug width accepts standard replacement straps, so you can swap in leather, NATO fabric, or other materials using standard spring bars. The original bracelet includes rosewood inlays and western etching unique to this design, but compatibility with aftermarket straps gives you flexibility.
- What does the skeleton dial reveal?
- The skeleton dial exposes the 20-jewel automatic movement beneath, showing gears, springs, and the rotor that winds the watch as you move. You can see the mechanism working in real time, and the transparent case back offers another view of the movement from the rear.
