Key Specifications

T16-1 Ebony Style

T16-2 Zebra Wood Style

Norse-Inspired Dial Design

The T16’s dial centres on a Helm of Awe (Ægishjálmur) or related Norse symbol, surrounded by Elder Futhark rune-style markings engraved into the wooden bezel ring. This is a purely symbolic, decorative theme — the watch keeps a simple time-only display (hours and minutes) rather than adding complications, letting the rune and symbol artwork remain the visual focus. The design suits Viking, Norse mythology, and rune-inspired style interests specifically, distinguishing it from BOBO BIRD’s more conventional wood watch designs.

Japanese Quartz Movement

The T16 runs on a Japanese quartz movement — battery-powered, accurate, low-maintenance, with no winding required. Battery replacement is the only routine maintenance needed over the watch’s service life.

Natural Wood Construction

Available in ebony (dark, understated) and zebra wood (lighter, high-contrast grain pattern), among other variants listed in the colour selector. As with all wood watch products, individual pieces show variation in grain, tone, and texture — no two watches will look perfectly identical, and case measurements may vary by approximately ±2mm due to manual production measurement. This is expected and normal rather than a defect.

Hardlex Crystal

The dial window uses Hardlex reinforced mineral glass at approximately 1.5mm thickness — more scratch and impact-resistant than standard mineral glass, suitable for daily wear. Not equivalent to sapphire.

Adjustable Wood Band with Push-Button Clasp

The wood bracelet adjusts to fit a wearable length of approximately 210mm, with extra links and an adjustment tool included for resizing. The push-button hidden clasp keeps the bracelet’s outer profile clean when worn, with the closure mechanism concealed beneath the band.

3ATM Water Resistance

Rated 3ATM — best treated as protection from light splashes, sweat, or brief rain only. Do not wear this watch for swimming, diving, showering, or soaking in water.

Custom Engraving

Custom engraving is available on the case back or wooden gift box — useful for personalizing with initials, a special message, or additional Norse symbols. Contact the seller to arrange engraving when placing your order.

What’s Included

Every T16 ships with the watch, a handcrafted wooden gift box, a watch link adjustment tool, and a user manual.
