Overview
The Wooden Bassy takes TAL’s big-chronograph template and swaps the metal case for one made of 100% real wood, which gives every piece a slightly different grain and a much warmer, lighter feel on the wrist. It keeps the 44mm three-dial layout and a Japanese quartz movement, with a Hardlex crystal and a band that mixes wood links with stainless steel. Water resistance is 30 metres, so like the metal Bassy it’s a style-first everyday watch rather than something for the pool. It’s the most distinctive-looking watch in TAL’s range and an easy pick if you want something that doesn’t look like everyone else’s steel chronograph.
The good
- Case made from 100% real wood — each piece’s grain is unique
- Lighter and warmer on the wrist than a metal case
- 44mm chronograph with date
- Japanese quartz movement, 12-month warranty
The trade-offs
- 30m water resistance — keep it away from prolonged water
- Hardlex crystal is tougher than acrylic but not sapphire
- Wood needs a little more care than steel over time

FAQs
Is the case really wood?
Yes — TAL lists it as 100% real wood, so grain and tone vary slightly between individual watches.
Does it work like a normal chronograph?
Yes, it uses a Japanese quartz movement with chronograph and date functions.
Can it get wet?
It’s rated to 30 metres — fine for occasional splashes, but wood and water don’t mix long-term, so avoid swimming.
