Original Grain
My wife purchased a new Original Grain bourbon barrel watch for my birthday. I love nice watches, even the cheaper ones. I find this one unique and I love anything made of wood so...
They are made in the United States using Miyota Japanese quartz movements. The case is solid stainless steel (very hefty). It has a mineral crystal glass cover and it's water resistant to 5 ATM. The wood on this particular model comes from reclaimed whiskey casks from Kentucky. All in all, it's a nice casual/dress watch. Just thought I would share.

Fun piece. It may need a date magnifier though!

Yes, the date is a wee bit small. Fortunately I don't ever look to my watch for the date.

I checked, silly me. No, it's all sealed grain.
