Day Wheel:
One of the main features of this Fire Exit Watch is of course the fire exit sign man day wheel. The wheel sits below the green glass dial and is finished in C1 grade lume with the fire exit man printed onto the wheel. Each day of the week is represented by the man completing a different action, and included is the first initial of each day of the week in the bottom left hand corner of the date wheel window for complete clarity.

Monday - Late for work
Tuesday - Hard at work
Wednesday - Commuting
Thursday - Exercising

Dial Execution:
The dial is finished in the exact pantone colour of a fire exit sign. The dial is made from green glass allowing you to look through to the day date disc that sits below. We have applied fire exit arrow and baton indices which are filled with C1 grade lume. The dial and indices are curved creating layers and depth when the light shines underneath the crystal. The seconds tracks is finished in gun metal grey to match the case with white printed markers.
Crystal:
This Fire Exit Watch is fitted with sapphire crystal that has an applied anti-reflective coating. The glass is completely scratch resistant and finished with an impressive domed curve. The glass is tinted with a medium blue colour paying tribute to William Wood’s 25 years of service on a shift pattern called The Blue Watch for the Newcastle & Gateshead Fire Brigade. The bezel is also finished in glass so which creates a lovely aesthetic and harmony between the crystal and bezel.
Caseback:
The back of the watch features a rotating disc with a dynamic animation of the fire exit sign man running away from a fire. As you turn the watch over you will see a fire exit doorway which you can see directly through the moving disc. It is a very fun element that creates intrigue on both the front and the back of the watch. The caseback also include the words fire exit with printed lume and it is closed with a glass.
Super-LumiNova:
William Wood Watches wanted this watch to illuminate like a fire exit sign at night. So they are using C1 grade lume application and printing on their indices, hands, dial helmet logo, bezel markers, caseback and buckle. The result is an extraordinary watch in the day and the night.
Buckle:
They have created a custom buckle in the shape of a fire exit arrow. The buckle is shaped with the arrow at the base and the tongue that goes through the strap includes the green arrow marker. The green arrow is filled with lume and the buckle is finished in a brushed dark gun metal grey to match the case.
Strap Execution:
The base strap on this Fire Exit Watch is made from British Racing Green fire hose. The hose is sewn into a rubber strap mould with the words 'Made from rescued materials' pressed into the back of it.
