The Wood Watch by Slim Timber is an achievement tried by others in the past, but never to quite this degree of success.

The ARCHIMEDE Pilot Chronograph is a modern take on the classic pilot’s chronograph, it’s powered by a Swiss automatic movement (Eta 7750 Elaboré) and the 3 piece stainless steel case is rated to a depth of 50 metres.
