The Koala Bear watch from Bear Essentials is a 42mm timepiece built from two contrasting natural woods: a light maplewood exterior paired with a deeper sandalwood core. The combination is not decorative shorthand — the contrast in tone and grain is what gives each watch its individual character, and because these are natural materials, no two are identical.
Bear Essentials handcrafts every piece in a family workshop, a production choice that has stayed constant as the brand has grown. The wood is sourced from sustainable forestry, and the watches are made using recycled pellets alongside natural materials — a practical commitment to avoiding plastic where alternatives exist.
Each watch is sanded and treated to handle splashes and day-to-day wear without requiring any further maintenance from you. The movement is battery-operated quartz — reliable, accurate, and easy to service.
The straps are pin-loaded, which means switching them out takes seconds rather than a trip to a jeweller. At purchase, you choose between a Soft Black Leather Strap and a Soft Grey Leather Strap. Both vegan and genuine leather strap options are available separately if you want to build out your rotation.
Personalisation is available on request — contact Bear Essentials directly via their contact page for a quote.
Every purchase comes with a care and usage information slip, a 24-month warranty, and access to a 24/7 support channel.

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.
