The Waterman Koa wood watch has finally surfaced...breath deep or maybe gasp...it's pretty sweet. The original Hawaiian Watermen used koa to make outrigger canoes, surfboards, and sailing canoes...pretty much everything we love about being on the water. The Waterman was inspired by these ideals of a life lived best on and around the water. It's Hawaiian time, redefined.

ISLAND INSPIRED DESIGN
The design concept was to pay homage to the ancient Hawaiian watermen by incorporating elements a modern waterman would appreciate. The lugs are stylized longboard fins with fcs type screws on the side. Yes, the second hand is shaped like an outrigger canoe paddle and the ocean waves flow beneath the moon-phase window. The crown's shape is inspired by the winches on a sailboat and is inset to prevent rubbing on your hand. Finally, our finest "curly" grained Koa wood, hand finished in our shop in Honolulu, ensures the face becomes the crowning jewel...check them out below.
A BIT MORE ON THE DESIGN...
The shape and colors are pulled from elements found throughout the Hawaiian islands. The rounded shape draws from the lava rock beach stones found on the black sand beaches of Maui and the Big Island. The Lava Edition colors are pulled from the ancient lava fields on the south side of Kona. Of course we color matched the turnable bezel to the color of the Pacific Ocean. The Rose-Gold of the Sunset Edition evokes the calm of the coming night as the sun melts into the ocean and the stars emerge (glowing white Lume markers).
DID WE MENTION THE WOOD?
Koa only grows in the Hawaiian islands and we use only the most rare and beautiful "curly" grained Koa. It gives an iradescnese and movement to the wood. We hand finish all the wood in our small shop in Honolulu which ensures the face becomes the crowning jewel.
SIZING, FOCUS... THIS IS IMPORTANT
Sizing...The Waterman is a 47mm case. This fits most everyone's wrists without looking redicoulsly large...but certainly has presence. The size is similar to the apple Ultra watch. Shown in the original 2010 version.
GARANS BRAH!
No Worries!! We wouldn't leave you hanging. We're way too small to have angry customers. If something's not quite right...we'll make it right on our dime...whether you want to replace or return.
ONE OF A KIND, SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION
We design our wood watches and hand finish the Koa wood in our small shop in Honolulu. We've focused on small batch production so we can guarantee the best quality while providing a wood watch that is truly unique and rare. We use only the most amazing "curly" grained Koa from the Big Island...the most rare, beautiful, and expensive. We encase our Koa in an equally worthy case using a stainless body, sapphire crystal, Japanese movement and oversized buckle.
