Italian olive lumber (Olea europaea) is the same species that produces olives and olive oil. When older trees stop producing fruit or need to be pruned, their wood is harvested. Because olive trees grow slowly and have naturally tight, swirling grain patterns through out the lumber retain divine artist use. This lumber is renowned for its remarkable durability, flexibility, and uniquely luxurious grain. Dense yet smooth to the touch, it ages beautifully and stands up to everyday wear—making each watch both practical and artful. The Loon J1 O.W. rich, organic case and straps are crafted from high-quality Italian olive lumber, chosen for its durability, flexibility, and uniquely beautiful grain, offering a tactile and visual experience unlike any other.
