Forest Green Index Ring Evokes the Woods
PRO TREK, an outdoor watch that measures various information in nature using sensor technology, has found resonance with the solid and robust worldview it embodies. ERNEST, a brand directed by Arata Iura that plans items committed to domestic production and crafts that pass on traditional techniques, has collaborated with PRO TREK, resulting in this joint watch.
The base model is the lightweight and simple "PRW-60." The blackout dial, inspired by the tranquility of nature, features a minimalist design that stoically conveys essential information. The Dura Soft Band and the index ring, indicated by the hands, adopt "Forest Green," evoking the imagery of a forest. This color enhances the dial, which is tightened with black, lending a modern impression.
Furthermore, the underside of the Dura Soft Band is integrally molded with a special phosphorescent material that glows in the dark. At night, the luminescence subtly illuminates the sides of the band in a line, conveying ERNEST's sense of modernism.
The included interchangeable cloth band features ERNEST's signature original camouflage pattern, "Book Tree Camo." This design, inspired by the beech forests and flora of the Shirakami-Sanchi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is boldly expressed through a coarse jacquard weave.
