Ebony

Ebony is characterised by a deep dark, and almost black hue, with soft deep dark red tones. Due to the dark color, the visibility of the structure is often difficult. The structure is characterised by lighter, usually straight, strips that are uniformly distributed.

It has a range from light to deep brown tints and has a distinguishable feature of an oil-like grain pattern.

Sandalwood

Sandalwood has several species that can be found all over the world, each with its own color. Typically sandalwood has a wonderful and unique smell, often used as scents and as notes in perfume. WoodWatches are made of two types of sandalwood, each owning a unique color and texture. Direct exposure to sunlight might change the wood color over time.
