Product Details
The Mark 7 is built from black zirconium, a metal that undergoes a heat-oxidation process to form a dark charcoal gray surface layer — not a coating that chips or peels. The 8mm beveled profile gives the band a substantial, authoritative presence on the hand without feeling overly bulky.
A teak wood sleeve sourced from the USS New Jersey — one of the most decorated battleships in U.S. naval history — is embedded within this ring, making each band a genuine piece of American military heritage. Because the wood is natural and reclaimed, the grain pattern is unique to every individual ring.
A 1mm band of solid 14k yellow gold runs along the ring as a refined accent, bringing warm contrast against the dark zirconium and teak. This isn't gold plating — it's real 14-karat gold, maintaining its color and integrity over years of daily wear.
One half of the ring carries a satin finish for a smooth, understated texture, while the other half features a diamond knurl pattern — a precision-machined grip texture inspired by tactical equipment. Together they represent the balance of discipline and strength central to military service.
The beveled edges of The Mark 7 ease the ring on and off and reduce pressure points during extended wear, making it well-suited for active lifestyles. Not sure of your size? Measure carefully with our Find your size Manly Ring Sizer before ordering.
Clean The Mark 7 with warm water and mild soap, using a soft cloth or brush to work around the knurl texture — avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can loosen the wood sleeve and stress the gold inlay. Remove the ring before prolonged submersion in pools or hot tubs, as chlorine and prolonged moisture exposure can affect the teakwood over time.
Before You Buy
The honest answers
Yes — the teaksleeve is sourced from the actual USS New Jersey (BB-62), one of the most decorated battleships in U.S. Navy history. Each ring carries a genuine piece of that ship, so no two rings are exactly alike in grain or character.
Black zirconium is durable and scratch resistant, making it one of the most durable ring materials available for everyday wear. The dark charcoal gray color is not a plating — it's created by oxidizing the zirconium itself, so it won't chip or peel over time. Any deep scratches or scuffs will show zirconium's natural silver tone underneath.
The 1mm 14k yellow gold inlay is a focused accent — rich and warm against the dark zirconium, but deliberately proportioned so it reads as distinguished rather than flashy. The diamond knurl on one half of the ring adds real visual texture that photographs can't fully capture.
Black zirconium is generally considered hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for anyone with nickel or metal sensitivities. If you have a known reaction to 14k gold alloys, reach out to our team and we can share the specific alloy composition of the inlay.
The beveled edges soften the contact points against your finger, so the ring sits comfortably even during long wear. Most customers find this profile feels lighter and less bulky than a flat-edged 8mm ring despite the bold visual presence.
Keep the ring away from prolonged submersion in water — occasional splashes are fine, but soaking can dry out the wood over time. Wipe the ring dry after exposure to moisture, and apply a very light coat of mineral oil to the wood sleeve every few months to maintain its luster.
A ring size will naturally fluctuate with temperature, activity, and time of day, so it's worth measuring at a few different times to find your true comfortable fit. The beveled profile helps the ring slide on and off more easily than a flat band, which is a small but meaningful advantage on days when swelling occurs.
Getting an accurate measurement before you order is the best move — ring sizing can vary depending on the time of day and your activity level. Take time to measure comfortably at home with our Manly Ring Sizer to nail it down: Find your size.
