There is something quietly special about wood against the skin. It is light, it warms up to your wrist within minutes, and no two cases look alike, because every piece carries its own grain. This Raptor watch, known as Sherin, has a round olive wood case in a rich brown, and it makes a gentle change if you are used to the cool, hard feel of metal.
The white dial keeps things bright and easy to read, with Arabic numerals so there is never any doubt about the time. The rose gold-tone markers stand out softly against the white, a small warm detail that echoes the brown of the wood. It is a classic look with a natural twist, and it sits happily with a knitted jumper on Monday and a dress on Saturday night. If you like this sort of timeless style, you will find more like it among our classic women's watches.
At 38 mm across and 10 mm thick, the case has a little presence without feeling heavy. The strap is a brown bracelet of links, 17 mm wide, and it fastens with a deployment clasp that closes with a reassuring click. Fully assembled, the watch measures 23.5 cm in length, so you can picture how it will wrap your wrist.
Inside is a quartz movement for dependable timekeeping, with an analogue display and a mineral glass over the dial. Water resistance is 3 ATM, which is enough for splashes and washing your hands. Do take it off before a shower or a swim, and your wooden watch will stay lovely for a long time.
