Product Type: Watches

Zebrawood is the only pattern on this Inverness watch, and everything else on it is black. Everwood Original sets a striped zebrawood bezel on a black-dial steel case and fits a black leather strap, so the wood reads as a single band of grain between two dark surfaces. The 45 mm case, 1.77 inches across, is 316L stainless steel front and back, and the wood sits on the bezel.

  • One pattern, one place. The stripes sit only on the bezel, so the watch stays quiet under a dark sleeve and shows its wood the moment the cuff moves.
  • Rain is fine. Everwood rates the steel case to 50 meters, which covers rain, handwashing and a splash, and the leather strap is what you keep out of the water.
  • No two bezels alike. Zebrawood stripes vary in spacing from log to log, so the bezel you receive carries its own stripe count.

Stripes as the Only Pattern

A wooden watch with a black dial and a black strap gives the eye exactly one thing to look at, and on this Inverness that thing is zebrawood. The stripes run in bands of pale sapwood and dark heartwood, which is why the species carries its name. Because the dial and strap add no second pattern, the bezel does the work a patterned dial would do on another watch, and it does it without competing with a striped shirt or a checked jacket.

Black Dial in Bright Sun

A black dial reads best when you tilt the crystal a few degrees away from the sun. Hardened mineral crystal is flat, so direct light bounces straight back into your eye and the hands vanish for a second. Turn the wrist slightly and the applied indices catch the light instead, standing off the black surface as bright bars. Indoors the same indices read as pale marks against black, which is the higher-contrast direction for a dark dial.

Steel Case Water and Rain

The movement is Miyota Japanese quartz with three hands and a date. Quartz needs no winding and keeps time whether you wear it daily or leave it for a week. The date shows through a window, so a glance tells you the day of the month without touching the crown. The strap sits on quick-release bars and closes with a memory lock clasp in stainless steel. That means the strap comes off in seconds when you want to wipe the case.

Zebrawood Black Strap Wrist Wear

Wear it on the wrist you do not write with, and the striped bezel faces outward when you rest a hand on a desk. Zebrawood is a hardwood, but wood on a bezel still prefers a dry cloth to a damp one. The black leather strap ages with your wrist, softening at the holes you actually use and taking a slight curve after a few weeks, which is the point of leather over a metal bracelet.

Inverness Zebrawood Black on Black

Do zebrawood stripes run the same way on every bezel? No. The direction and spacing of the stripes depend on how the blank was cut from the board, so one bezel can show tight bands and another wide ones. Both are zebrawood.

Why does a black dial disappear in sunlight? The flat crystal reflects the sky when it faces the sun directly. A small tilt of the wrist ends the reflection and the applied indices take over the reading.

Can the leather strap get wet in the rain? A few drops wipe off. What shortens a leather strap is soaking, so remove the watch before a shower or a swim and let a rain-wet strap dry flat before you wear it again.
