Vero Forest Service Edition Airtanker Watch

February 19, 20251 min read

Gentlemen, does your wrist scream adventure, but whisper “slightly scratch-prone”? Fear not, for Vero Watches of Portland have forged the Forest Service Edition Airtanker Watch ($475) – a timepiece tougher than a woodpecker’s pecker, and just as dedicated to trees. Born from a noble pact with the actual United States Forest Service (yes, those forest rangers), this 39mm steel beast is Cerakote-coated for colour and resilience. We’re talking ‘survive-a-bear-wrestle’ scratch resistance, probably. Plus, it’s waterproof to 120m – ideal for underwater basket weaving, or escaping a particularly aggressive sprinkler.

Powered by your own kinetic energy (no batteries here, gents, just pure, manly motion!), the Seiko movement boasts a frankly absurd six-month power reserve. Forget winding; just… exist. A rubbery button? Six-month power gauge? Nylon strap? It’s less James Bond, more park ranger chic – which, let’s be honest, is a look. So, for the gent who chops wood, occasionally composts, and wants to feel good while looking good (and saving trees!), the Vero Airtanker is bang on. Gift responsibly.
