We’re big fans of timepieces that make an impactful statement on the wrist as well as making an impact of it and that’s definitely an accolade that can be applied to these awesome Forest Service Edition Watches from the guys at VERO. Not only do these striking timepieces look great, but they also do good as, for each watch sold, VERO gives a portion directly back to the US Forest Service to assist in their continued efforts to protect America’s forests and grasslands. Win, win.
Priced at £386, there are four different options to choose from with these VERO Forest Service Watches – Ranger, Hotshot, Airtanker and Service Green – and each delivers a visual vibrancy that we’re big fans of here at Coolector HQ. These officially licensed Forest Service watches are already flying off VERO’s digital shelves and for good reason. Not only are they pleasingly affordable, they are made from top-quality materials and built for adventure.
The colours and aesthetics of these bold and beautiful watches from VERO are directly inspired by the various teams and departments that are responsible for looking after America’s forests and grasslands. Impressively designed, this collection of watches deploys a Seiko Kinetic movement with a 6-month power reserve (when fully charged by the movement from your wrist) which is actioned by pressing the button on the case to operate the sweeping hand of the power reserve indicator.
Aesthetically speaking, the Forest Service Edition Watches are right up our street here at The Coolector. Each one boasts minimalistic hands, inner bezel markers, and numerals, all of which are filled with Super LumiNova for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. They are designed for high-action, low-effort and if you’re after a timepiece that can be right by your side for any adventure, these ones will be tough to beat.
You can see a little more information about each of the different watches within VERO’s Forest Service Edition Collection below:
AIRTANKER
The US frequently deals with forests and wildfires. To tackle fires in isolated areas, the Forest Service uses airtankers equipped with burnt-red fire retardants. The VERO Airtanker features a colour scheme of orange/red and smoke grey, reflecting this purpose.
RANGER
When you envision a Forest Service Ranger, their classic uniforms probably spring to mind first—featuring wide-brimmed hats, khaki shirts, and forest green pants—a durable and timeless outfit suited for the wilderness.
HOTSHOT
The Forest Service’s Hotshot crews are celebrated for their profound knowledge of forest fire behaviour, as well as their vividly coloured uniforms and gear. Their signature Hotshot Yellow stands out sharply against the more muted greys, ensuring high visibility.
SERVICE GREEN
When exploring the great outdoors, it’s straightforward to recognize Forest Service utility trucks by their distinctive colour. The VERO Service Green also displays this vibrant shade, set against contrasts of black and brown.
