This timepiece collection incorporates the contemporary appeal of 100% [natural wood detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zm-urban-green), yet also infuses the weight and strength of [stainless steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casio-gsteel-modern-industrial-series) for a durable and fully functional design. Together, the metal and bamboo elements create a strikingly stylish watch that appeals to the modern man's sensibilities.
