Into the Nordic Forest: A Field Watch Companion

There’s a kind of calm that only exists among trees, especially deep in the northern Taiga. Not the well-trimmed rows of urban parks, but the dense, sprawling forests of the North, where the trail disappears behind you, the canopy filters the light, and the silence is so complete you may only hear the wind in the trees and the constant ticking of your field watch.

No Signal, No Schedule, But Accurate Timekeeping

Earlier this season, we spent a few days out in the forests of southern Sweden. No schedule, no signal, just a backpack, warm hoodie, rain jacket (it was definitely needed), and our Søværn Kulsort field watch on the wrist, the way it’s meant to be worn.

The ground was soft with moss, fallen needles and leaves, the air carried the scent of damp wood and birch bark, and every clearing looked like it belonged in a folktale.

We hiked along overgrown trails, crossed wooden bridges slick from the night’s rain, and watched the mist lift from the lake in the early hours. In between, we took some photos, not styled or staged, just small moments where the watch was part of the scene.

Resting against a moss-covered rock. Glinting under a patch of morning sun. Marking time in a place where time doesn’t feel like it matters.

It Belongs Out Here

These aren’t lifestyle shots. They're glimpses of what it looks like to really take the watch out there, beyond the desk, beyond the city. You’ll find the images throughout this post, and maybe they’ll remind you of your own trips. Or inspire the next one.

Moments in Nature, Not Poses

Even when you’ve left appointments behind, a reliable mechanical timekeeper can still be a valuable companion in the wilderness: using it as a compass with the help of the sun helps you stay oriented, or simply to mark your pace, so you know when it's time to head back to your shelter. 

Even if you don't make i in time, at night the strong lume ensures it’s always readable when everything else fades into darkness.

It’s not just about keeping time: it’s about staying connected to your surroundings. Where you take your Nordic Marine Instruments Søværn up into the wilderness is up to you, but it’s good to know it belongs out there.
