Full Description

Influenced by the iconic wood-panelled station wagons that became synonymous with California road trips, this Limited Edition captures the carefree spirit of a generation that lived for the journey as much as the destination. Long before SUVs took over, these unmistakable wagons carried families, friends and surf boards from city streets to hidden surf breaks, winding their way along the Pacific Coast Highway with salt in the air and the windows rolled down.

With surfboards strapped to the roof, cool boxes in the back and miles of open road ahead, they embodied the freedom of endless summers and spontaneous adventure. Whether it was an early morning paddle out, a beachside barbecue or chasing the perfect sunset, these were the vehicles that became part of the memories.

For the Woodie, we decided this golden wonder deserved the full treatment. Every watch comes fitted with a rich brown leather strap and includes a gold rice-link bracelet in the box.

Dress it up on the bracelet, swap to the leather for a more understated look, or go all-in with one of our bund straps for the full 1980s vibe.

We design and re-design every component to make watches that are fundamentally fit-for-purpose, minimising or eliminating typical points of failure such as spring bars breaking, straps snapping, or watches leaking - all potentially catastrophic failures.

Any watches damaged in service can be repaired quickly and economically at our in-house workshop in Poole and returned to service with the minimum of disruption.

Not only is our servicing world class, the warranty has no small print. It’s honest, comprehensive, and straightforward. The whole watch is covered for 5 years, not just the movement. The only exclusions are accidental damage, the battery and wear & tear.
