William Wood Valiant | A Divers Watch That Pays Tribute to Firefighters

[@idid1866]

Not a bad looking watch...the dome is mesmerizing!

Hi, iDid. Agreed on a cool domed and tinted blue crystal. 🤙

I'm not really into rose gold but their straps are totally awesome.

[@whatsonthewrist]

Easily one of the best rubber straps in my opinion, Greg.

[@TexpatOTG]

Really a nice looking piece -- The strap is really nice and the blue tint on the crystal is pretty cool too. Cheers.

[@whatsonthewrist]

We’re in agreement, James. ☕️

[@tomlee4540]

Very cool box crystal and a neat idea to tint the crystal blue. I can see the added visual colors this way and it makes sense. But why offer 2 different movements? Maybe just stick with one so it’s less confusing. I’m all about options but movement options is not the kind I like. The valiant looks really good though. I’m with you on that strap it looks incredible and that may just be enough for me to go for it.

[@whatsonthewrist]

An excellent strap indeed. Let me know your thoughts if you decide on it, Tom. 🍻

[@edrader]

on its face both are expensive but i think the uniqueness of the design makes it worth the price over, say, an oris. great find rich. and always a solid caseback for me. i detest the gimmicky display back on all but the watches that have something to display

[@whatsonthewrist]

Hey, Ed. I agree there is enough here to distinguish the Valiant. Also agreed on most casebacks.

Do they sell straps separately ? Good video Richie 👍

[@whatsonthewrist]

Yep they certainly do sell the upcycled straps separately. They are absolutely worth it, JJ. 👌

I love the straps but could not justify the price for the full watch. Are these straps compatable with other dials?

[@whatsonthewrist]

These straps are available to purchase by themselves, Ian. They should fit any model if it’s the right size.

I’ve heard of William Wood but I haven’t seen one in the hand or reviewed yet. Maybe one other review as I think about it, but it wasn’t as nicely told like your review. I don’t mind the Seiko movement if it was priced less. But I like your sellita movement. Overall this watch carries great aesthetics and story. Great job my boy Rich. 👍

[@whatsonthewrist]

Thank you, Stephen. It’s definitely worth a look especially in person.👌

William Wood watches tells a very nice story with their watches. It resonates with me for all the right reasons. It's not often a strap steals the show but it's very unique and deserves to be singled out. I don't much care about having to choose between movements but the price difference makes it easy to opt with the NH35. Is the bezel inlay aluminum or ceramic? Nice video brother.

[@whatsonthewrist]

It’s an aluminum insert, Rich. And agreed on the brand’s storyline and history. 👌
