The Andean Bear is Bear Essentials' take on what a watch can be when you start with wood instead of steel. The 42mm maple casing draws its palette from the Andean bear itself — the warm, patchy tones of the wood echo the bear's fur, and the green strap options nod to the cloud forests it inhabits. It is a watch that earns a second look without demanding one.
Bear Essentials began in a family home workshop and has stayed there by choice. Every piece is handcrafted using natural materials, including wood from sustainable forestry and recycled pellets, which means the grain pattern on your watch will not match anyone else's. That is not a quirk — it is the point.
The watch runs on a battery-operated quartz movement and features pin-loaded straps that swap out without tools, so you can shift from the Soft Forest Green leather to the Soft Black leather depending on the occasion. Both vegan and genuine leather strap options are available, and additional straps can be purchased separately.
The maple casing has been sanded and treated to handle splashes and everyday wear without needing any further maintenance.

About Our Brand Bear Essentials
Travel accessories are often mass-produced from synthetic materials, leaving environmentally conscious explorers with limited options that align with their values. Bear Essentials addresses this by creating durable, considered products for those who wish their equipment to be as thoughtful as their journeys.
Every Bear Essentials item is handcrafted using natural materials, including wood from sustainable forestry and recycled pellets, ensuring each piece is unique. The brand prioritises natural alternatives over plastic, a practical manufacturing decision that speaks to their commitment to responsible production.
Originating from a family home workshop, Bear Essentials maintains handcrafting as central to its production, refusing to compromise craft for scale. For every purchase, a tree is planted, directly replenishing the natural resources used and closing the loop between consumption and environmental return.
