Olive wood has been cultivated around the world for thousands of years for many purposes, such as olive oil, wine, or simply eating the fruit as it is. Today, its timber is also used in high-quality wristwatches. Olive wood is a striking material, with beautiful light tones and stunning yet understated grain patterns. The surface patterns of olive wood vary from piece to piece, giving every watch a unique look.
Properties of olive wood
Beyond its striking appearance, olive wood is above all a practical choice for watch material. It's a very lightweight material, so an olive wood watch is comfortable to wear on your wrist for long stretches. Despite being lightweight, olive wood is still durable, and the everyday bumps and knocks won't faze it.
