Oak wood has certainly left its mark on our history of building things that last. From being used to build ships for the Royal Navy in England, to being cherished as the timber of choice to age the finest of wines and liquors, oak wood has long been associated with the ability to stand the test of time.

At Zeitholz, oak wood has yet again been used to craft imperishable luxury with watches that stand at the pinnacle of a watchmaker's art. The coarse grain, hard texture, and ability to endure even in the harshest conditions make every Zeitholz oak wood watch an unapologetic masterpiece.

What Makes Oak Wood So Special?

Color: Light beige/golden through brown
Luster: Moderate
Pattern: Straight
Texture: Coarse and Uneven
Durability: High

Folklore says that the legendary archer Robin Hood made a bow built of oak wood, sourced from the mighty oaks of the Sherwood forest.

Oak wood makes for a great wood to craft watches from because of its flexibility and its eye-catching wavy grain. It’s less prone to warping and holds up well to the ravages of time and the elements.

It is a slow-growing hardwood that makes for a naturally dense and supremely durable material. Although notoriously difficult to work with, the end result makes the hardship worth enduring.

Mindfully Sourced

Although oak wood grows relatively faster than other hardwoods and has been cultivated for years for use in the woodworking industry, oak forests have to be harvested ethically and with checks in place to ensure planting seedlings faster than the trees are cut down. Zeitholz always tries to minimize the environmental impact while sourcing wood to create our timeless timepieces.

Warranty and Returns

Each timepiece created by Zeitholz is covered by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Our 30-day no-hassle return policy and free shipping options in the U.S are just the icing on the cake.
