The Timberland brand has an interesting biography that fits perfectly into the framework of what the catch phrase "American Dream" stands for. The brand's success today is not based on a large corporation or international conglomerate. Its founder is a private person: a US citizen, born in Odessa. Nathan Schwartz, who comes from a family of immigrants, turned out to be a very extraordinary hereditary shoemaker who proved his professional worth in 1965.
It was then that he invented and patented the technology of seamless joining of a leather upper and a rubber sole, making the boots completely waterproof. In 1973, the inventor officially registered the Timberland brand (timber in English means wood, land means land). The logo of the brand is the image of American oak. Thus began the history of the iconic yellow Timberland.
A little later, the company expanded its activities to sewing outerwear, after which the most logical way matured to the release of some authentic personalized accessories, including a wristwatch. From among the latter, we have selected five versatile (both male and female) new products, whose corporate style speaks for itself.

Despite its obvious laconicism, the 34mm Moulton quartz two-turner demonstrates how gracefully its creators push the boundaries of conventional wrist branding classics. They added a black dial to the round case and steel bracelet of Milanese weave, placing the last guilloche in the form of a schematically drawn American oak throughout the entire area, without which no Timberland product is inconceivable (after all, it is nothing but the official brand logo).

The quartz three-pointer from the Driscoll line is striking not only for its 46-mm "male" diameter, but also for the competent zoning of the dial. In the central region, it is smooth, milky-chocolate shade. The next circle, dark brown, on the other hand, has a granular surface. It serves as a "substrate" for large overhead indices, and the inclined flange is visually divided into two sectors, "day" and "night". Particularly noteworthy is the "sand" strap made of coarse leather with an imprint symbolic for the brand in the form of an image of American oak on both of the bases.

The quartz chronograph, part of the Bradshaw family, is clearly addressed to the young active inhabitants of the metropolis - because its design is made in a pronounced urban style. The eclectic dial attracts attention with its varied details. The central part, smooth to the touch, is represented by a "trio" of vertical stripes, black, gray and orange. The areas on either side of them are colored dark blue. Moreover, where the sub-disks of complication are located, their surface is accentuated with granularity.
Another decorative element is the four steel screws counterbalancing each other. At the 6 o'clock position there is a sectorial date aperture, which is a pair of the applied brand logo at 12 o'clock. The brutal character of the watch is also read by the fine-toothed corrugation of the bezel, made, like the 46-mm, case, waterproof up to a hundred meters, made of stainless steel.

This piece of one hundred percent femininity was born in order to join the Coltin line. The 40-mm quartz three-pointer, the design of which has absorbed the fundamental corporate codes inherent in all Timberland watches, without exception, is presented in an undeniably elegant key. The bicolor case of the model sports a thin bezel, the steel polished surface of which is combined with the lateral circle, lugs and crown in yellow gold color (PVD-plated). The light gray gradient dial is adorned with the unchanged brand logo, which also acts as a subdial for the small seconds. The product is completed with a thin white leather strap.

For a girl who is fashionable, but at the same time completely practical, the Northdale model will be a triple pleasant surprise. After all, she is able to adapt to any image and wardrobe: whether it is an office routine, an informal meeting or a ceremonial appearance. It is for such purposes that the manufacturer endowed the quartz three-pointer not only with a universal white dial with applied indices and rose gold-colored hands, but also with a set consisting of several removable straps.
Two of them, black and brown, with imprints of the corporate logo at the bases, are made of genuine leather. The third (Milanese bracelet) is made of high quality stainless steel. They change easily, simply and quickly: another indisputable plus in the treasury of positive characteristics of the product.
