Smokey Bear + VERO

Originally released for Smokey Bear's 79th birthday in 2023, this popular series is a durable field watch, tough enough for the iconic bear himself.

The Smokey '44 Preorder - VERO Watch Company

CELEBRATING THE ICON

The Smokey Bear official watch by VERO has a custom designed Smokey Bear image, seen here on the dial of the Smokey '44 watch. Smokey's iconic shovel is also incorporated as the counterweight of the seconds hand.

Trusty Components

The Smokey Bear watches have a perfectly paired satin and high polish finished stainless steel case and crown that screw down to lock out water and debris.
We packed Super LumiNova on to each dial dot, numeral, and hand of the Smokey Bear watches for up to 15 hours with a sufficient UV charge.

Timeless design

"1944 was Smokey’s first official year, so that variant has a more classic look: decorative numerals, cathedral hands, and a basic case back engraving. 1964 was when Smokey got his own ZIP code, so that variant is a touch more modern, and in-line with a field watch of the day." -Designer Matt Smith-Johnson

Forest Ready

We wanted these watches to feel like a piece of gear Smokey Bear would wear into the forest. Durable, sturdy, with natural shades and textures. Plus, the vital reminder to leave the forest as we found it.

Giving back

10% of every sale of our Smokey Bear watches goes directly back to the US Forest Service, helping fund their efforts in fire safety and forest conservation.

Easy options

Both Smokey Bear watch styles come with a leather strap and woven canvas strap, plus quick release spring bars. These watches are ready for a weekend adventure in the woods, or lounging in the sun.

Only one complaint

Love the watch, packaging is top tier. Easy release band works great!! Only one complaint, the watch died within days of recurving it. Then it ran for another few hours and is dead again

Hi Danny, Thanks for your review of your Smokey '44!
Having the watch movement stop often is a common problem if it doesn't have enough stored power just from daily wear. If you unscrew the crown, you can gently wind the watch 20-30 times. This will give it a good kick start and will continue to wind and store power throughout the day.
Here is a page we made to show how this can be done.

If you find that your watch is still stopping in a few days after you've followed these steps, then please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to bring your watch in to have a look. Thanks again Danny!

BUY WHEN YOU CAN

I cannot say enough good things about this watch, the company and its support team. The watch is way higher quality than I was expecting. It wears thinner to the wrist than the case suggests, whilst still having the same feel of a durable field watch. The movement is solid with great winding, and screw down crown. The water resistance for reference is twice as much as the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical, which is what I would compare this watch to even though it’s slightly thicker. The lume is incredible and extremely legible. The strap quality is much better than accepted on both options ( tip for softening up the NATO, wear it in the ocean or pool).

The customer support team is exceptional. They answered my every question and helped with special delivery instructions each step of the way. Also… a 10 year warranty? Where are you going to get that now a days?

Thank you Vero, job well done 👏!

An Amazing Watch!

Received this as a birthday gift from my partner and couldn't be more happy with it! I loved the Filson Smokey watch years ago, but didn't buy one. She found this and honestly, I like it better! Well-constructed, really nice size and the style is fabulous. Understated, but unique. I didn't really know anything about Vero previously, but now you're definitely on my radar as a watch junkie!
