There is something quietly satisfying about wearing a watch made from actual wood — not a wood-effect finish, not a veneer, but sandalwood that has been hand-sanded and treated in a family workshop. The Cedar is Bear Essentials' 42mm everyday watch: dark sandalwood tones that work with a suit as easily as they work with a weekend jacket, and a construction that does not ask much of you once it is on your wrist.
The 42mm case size sits comfortably in the mid-range — substantial enough to read easily, not so large it dominates a cuff. The quartz movement is battery-operated and reliable. The straps are pin-loaded, which means switching between them takes seconds rather than a trip to a watchmaker. Bear Essentials offers five strap options across this watch: a matching wood-link strap, two vegan options in tan and navy, and two genuine soft leather options in brown and black. That range covers most occasions and most wardrobes.

Bear Essentials started in a family home workshop and has kept handcrafting at the centre of production rather than scaling it out. The wood comes from sustainable forestry. No two pieces are identical — the grain variation is the point, not a quality control issue.
Care guidance is included with every purchase in the form of an information slip. The watch has already been treated and does not require additional finishing from you.
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.
