William Wood Fearless Watches

Directly inspired by the brave work of British firefighters, there is an awful lot to appreciate with the classy, adventure-ready timepieces from William Wood Watches. Whether it’s melting down an original 1920’s British brass firefighter’s helmet and placing it in the back of their awesome Chivalrous Collection or using a blue upcycled fire hose from the Founder’s grandfather’s fire region of Tyne and Wear, each and every William Wood watch has real British firefighting history beating through every component.

The latest series of watches from William Wood, the Fearless Collection, is unquestionably amongst the best British watches and if you’re after a devilishly dapper timepiece with a great backstory, look no further. The Fearless Collection is available in three different colours – Fearless Orange, Fearless Red and Fearless Yellow – with each being priced at a thoroughly reasonable £895.

William Wood’s first field watch, the Fearless Collection has been purpose-built to be worn in active surroundings whether this be in your daily job or adventures exploring the great outdoors. These firefighter watches come in two case sizes from the brand’s usual 41mm diameter down to 39mm, which delivers a compact and robust aesthetic on your wrist.

A real stand-out feature of these bold, vibrant watches from William Wood is the black dial which is executed in a textured rough effect that takes its inspiration from charcoal, linking back to the brand’s strong firefighting heritage. The stainless steel watch case is finished with a sandblasted stealth black matte coating ready to face any adventures you have afoot in 2023 and beyond.

Pressed into the back of each Fearless Watch is a UK Firefighter’s Helmet featuring a glass visor looking through to the movement and make the perfect firefighter gift. Each glass visor is coloured to match the three watch options available. You will also find a limited edition caseback engraving between 1-250 so the watch will be unique to you.

This classy collection of timepieces from William Wood comes with their new range of repurposed black fire hose straps. The straps are finished with red, yellow and orange stitching to match the 3 colours of our Fearless Collection. The black fire hose perfectly matches their new stealthy black watch case.

Great for low light conditions, the Fearless Collection has rose gold numerals which are filled with green Super-LumiNova for extra punch in the darkest hour. By filling the indices with Super-LumiNova you will find a much brighter night mode compared to William Wood’s other collections. After a timepiece that is inspired by the bravery of firefighters? This new collection definitely gets our vote here at Coolector HQ.
