Bronze-plated watch with reclaimed sapele wood inlay and teal sunray dial
Most watches at this price point are either all-steel sport models or wood novelties with quartz movements in plastic cases. This one splits the difference: a legitimate metal case and sapphire movement wrapped in reclaimed wood that actually changes the look without compromising structure. The bronze plating matters because it warms the metal and develops character as it oxidizes, so the watch looks different in a year than it does today. That aging process appeals to people who want their gear to tell a story, but it's a poor fit if you expect a watch to stay factory-fresh forever.
Good gift when
- People who prefer watches that look distinct from steel sport models
- Anyone building a collection beyond black and silver finishes
- Watch wearers who appreciate natural materials and aging patina
- Those who want a 46mm presence without aggressive styling
Skip it if Bronze finish will patina and darken over time; 5ATM water resistance limits pool and shower use

The maker
Original Grain builds watches that combine traditional case construction with reclaimed wood sourced from architectural salvage and retired materials. Each piece incorporates wood that would otherwise be discarded, giving it a second life as part of a functional timepiece. The sapele in this model comes from those reclaimed stocks, so the grain and character differ from watch to watch depending on the original timber.
The details
This timepiece brings genuine reclaimed wood into a bronze-finished case that wears differently than the steel or black alternatives most watch collections rely on. Sapele inlays run through both the bezel and the bracelet links, creating contrast against the teal sunray dial and bronze-plated stainless steel construction.
The 46mm case houses a Miyota 6P28 Japanese quartz movement behind mineral glass crystal. Applied hour markers sit on a teal green sunray dial with a sapele wood sub-dial inlay at center. Each bracelet link alternates between bronze-plated steel and wood, continuing the material pairing around your wrist.
Because the sapele comes from reclaimed sources, grain and tone vary from one watch to another. The bronze plating develops a patina over time, shifting the finish as the piece ages with you.
Water resistance reaches 5ATM, enough for daily wear and incidental splashes but not for swimming or submersion. The 22mm lug width accommodates standard replacement straps if you prefer leather or canvas. Engraving is available for personalization.

Questions
- Will the bronze finish change over time?
- Yes. Bronze develops a patina as it reacts with air and skin oils, shifting from a bright bronze tone to a darker, more aged appearance. This is a natural characteristic of the material and part of the watch's evolving look.
- Can I wear this watch in the shower or pool?
- No. The 5ATM water resistance rating covers incidental splashes and rain but is not sufficient for swimming, showering, or submersion. Remove the watch before water activities.
- Is the wood the same on every watch?
- No. Each watch uses reclaimed sapele, so grain patterns and tone vary between pieces. No two are identical.
- Can I replace the bracelet with a leather strap?
- Yes. The 22mm lug width fits standard watch straps, so you can swap in leather, canvas, or nylon if you prefer a different look.
- Does this watch require battery changes?
- Yes. The Miyota quartz movement runs on a battery that will eventually need replacement, typically every one to three years depending on use.
