Classic Ebony Maple Burl Watch
- Case Size: 45mm
- Case Thickness: 10.5mm
- Strap Width: 24mm

If you're browsing gifts for son and want something that checks all the boxes – cool, useful, personal – start here. The Classic Ebony Maple Burl Watch blends smooth dark wood with a one-of-a-kind maple burl dial that’s full of character. The swirling patterns? Completely natural. No two are alike.

It includes a date display, but it doesn’t crowd the layout. The silhouette stays clean, making it easy to pair with whatever he’s into wearing these days. No overthinking needed – just grab it, strap it on, and go.
When you're narrowing down gifts for son, this one stands out for being low-key bold. He won’t feel like he’s wearing a statement piece, but he’ll definitely get asked about it. And that’s half the fun.
