The holiday season is fast approaching and if you’re in need of some gift-giving inspiration, we’ve got you covered.

At Eone, our passion is inclusive design, so we’ve searched high and low to bring you the best inclusive and accessible gift ideas for all your friends and family. Let’s give meaningful gifts that will let everyone enjoy the festive season together!

Eone Timepieces

1. Bradley Mesh Silver - Eone - US$285.00

Close up of a silver watch with ball bearing track around the face and raised markings at each hour. Part of the stainless steel straps are also visible.]

For the person who has everything

We of course had to kick things off with one of our very own. Our original iconic timepiece, the Bradley, is a cool and unique gift. It’s the perfect gift for him, for her, for everyone.

The Bradley Mesh not only looks great, it’s also stunningly crafted with a lightweight, self oxidizing titanium case, which means any scratches automatically fade away over time. This model is loved by so many, blind and sighted alike, and even worn by Stevie Wonder himself! If you are unsure of your recipient’s style, this universally loved Eone classic is sure to be a great choice!

For someone who would love the Bradley Mesh, but would prefer a more delicate option, the Bradley Mesh 36mm is perfect. With all the same great features as the original, this model has a more polished finish to the face and is scaled down to suit narrower wrists.

2. Bradley Element Black - Eone - US$350.00

Close up of a black watch with ball bearing track around the face and raised markings at each hour. Part of the black straps are also visible.]

For the modern gentleman

The Element in black is one of Bradley Snyder’s personal favorite Eone pieces, and it’s one of ours too! It features a durable, ceramic face and a sleek black stainless steel strap. The dial has a unique three dimensional, topographic design unlike any other Eone Bradley timepiece. Its alternating raised and lowered impressions on the face makes it even easier to read, using sight of touch. It’s the perfect balance of timeless and modern with its almost understated monochrome vibe. It’s the perfect timepiece for those who like classic, with a brutalist style.

3. Bradley Edge Rose Gold - Eone - US$285.00

Close up of a silver and rose gold watch with ball bearing track around the face and raised markings at each hour. Part of the white leather straps are also visible.]

For the lady who loves the elegant side of feminine

The Edge in rose gold exudes modern elegance and feminine charm. The white Italian leather strap is the perfect partner to the stainless steel rose gold face which features concentric circles radiating from the center and framed by the classic raised hourly markings.

Give her the perfect finishing touch to any look, whether elegant and ladylike or romantic and playful.

This popular timepiece has been enjoyed by Eone fans around the world and the black variant of the Edge was featured in TV series “Crush".

4. Bradley Apex Leather Sand - Eone - US$285.00

Close up of a black watch with ball bearing track around the face and textured markings at each hour. Part of the sand colored straps are also visible.

For those who are always on the go

The Apex Sand is a military inspired watch, offering contrast in texture and color between its black ceramic dial, steel case, and the sand leather strap. The strap design is commonly known as a ‘NATO’ strap, which means it is one continuous strap that is fed through loops on the top and bottom of the case. The straps are interchangeable and additional straps can be purchased separately. He will love this versatile piece which looks great for work or off duty days.
