VERO Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Edition Watch

In a fitting tribute to a legend, the VERO Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Edition Watch (£435) masterfully blends heritage, functionality, and timeless style. This limited-edition timepiece celebrates eight decades of Smokey Bear, the iconic symbol of forest fire prevention, and it does so with a design that’s as rugged and resilient as the forests Smokey has been protecting for generations.

Housed in a satin-finished bronze case, the Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Watch is available in two different colours (Brilliant Blue and Forest Green) is a testament to the durability and classic aesthetics. Bronze is a material that not only stands the test of time but improves with it, developing a natural patina that adds character and a unique, evolving personality to each watch. This living finish means that no two timepieces will look exactly alike, making your Smokey Bear watch truly one of a kind.

Under the hood, this commemorative watch is powered by the reliable Seiko NH38A automatic movement, providing a 41-hour power reserve. This self-winding movement captures the energy of your wrist’s natural motion, ensuring that the watch remains accurate and ready for action without the need for batteries or manual winding. Whether you’re trekking through the wilderness or navigating urban jungles, the 120-meter water resistance, secured by a screw-down crown and case back, means that this watch can handle whatever adventure you throw its way.

The watch face, protected by an AR-coated flat sapphire crystal, is built to endure the rigours of outdoor life. Sapphire is renowned for its exceptional hardness—second only to diamonds on the Mohs scale—making it virtually scratch-resistant and capable of withstanding high-pressure environments. The clear, legible display is further enhanced by green Super LumiNova on the hands and numerals, ensuring that the time is easily readable, even in low-light conditions.

To complement its robust build, the Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Watch comes with two versatile strap options: a quick-release leather strap for a touch of classic sophistication and a black canvas NATO strap for those who prefer a more rugged, utilitarian look. Both straps are equipped with bronze hardware that matches the case, seamlessly blending durability with style.

As an officially licensed product, each watch contributes to the ongoing efforts to spread Smokey Bear’s crucial message. A portion of the proceeds from every sale directly supports educational and awareness initiatives, ensuring that Smokey’s legacy continues to thrive for years to come.

The VERO Smokey Bear 80th Anniversary Edition Watch isn’t just a timepiece—it’s a symbol of dedication, a piece of history, and a commitment to preserving our natural world.
