There’s nothing more guilt-tripping than buying expensive accessories just to satisfy one’s so-called “luxury needs.” High-end watches, in fact, are known to do nothing more than\u00a0to show off grandeur, present fashion sense, and, of course, tell time.<\/p>\n

But what if there’s something more than just wearing the watch itself?<\/p>\n

For over a century, Switzerland-based watchmaker Oris<\/strong> has always crafted products that surely veer away from the common notion that intricately designed watches say something about the financial capability of those who wear it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Swiss watchmaker, known for its purely mechanical and distinctive designs, currently showcases watch collections related to diving, culture, aviation, and motor sport.<\/p>\n

And while Oris thrives in its four offerings, one collection was able to turn the heads of both watch enthusiasts and environmentalists.<\/p>\n

Aside from the penchant for watchmaking, Oris has also been actively campaigning to protect and conserve the world\u2019s oceans, aiming to achieve three things: create a healthy habitat for whales and dolphins, regrow devastated coral reefs, and save the ocean from plastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"Ocean Trilogy Set<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

In line with its goal to save the world’s ocean, Oris launched the Oris Ocean Trilogy,\u00a0<\/strong>comprised of the Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III, <\/strong>the Clean Ocean Limited Edition,<\/strong> and the Blue Whale Limited Edition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blue Whale Limited Edition<\/strong> watch is dedicated to support a charity group called the Whale and Dolphin Conservation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Blue Whale Limited Edition<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Based on the Aquis diver’s watch, the Blue Whale has a large 45.50 mm steel case and an aqua blue ceramic bezel, embossing an image of a blue whale in its caseback.<\/p>\n

Second, the Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III<\/strong>, is made to support a program to regrow the devastated, yet diverse, coral reef system off Fitzroy Island near Cairns, Australia.<\/p>\n

\"\"Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Great Barrier is a professional diver\u2019s watch designed in a 43.50 mm multi-component case with 300-meter water resistance and a dial with hands and numerals coated in Super-LumiNova.<\/p>\n

It is crafted in a stainless steel and engraved with a screwed-on caseback depicting a coral.<\/p>\n

Last but not the least, the Clean Ocean Limited Edition<\/strong> supports Oris’ partnership with Pacific Garbage Screening<\/strong>, which currently develops technology to capture plastic before it enters the ocean.<\/p>\n

\"\"Clean Ocean Limited Edition<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Clean Ocean is also a high legibility professional diver\u2019s watch. It\u00a0is water resistant to 300 meters, has a screw-in crown and caseback, a unidirectional bezel, and a ceramic insert in an aqua blue color symbolizing water’s beauty and essence.<\/p>\n

The set comes in a box with an outer shell made of environmentally friendly algae and an inlay composed\u00a0of\u00a0recycled plastic.<\/p>\n

Even with the introduction of the trilogy set, the Swiss watchmaker still sees \u201csigns that there is so much work\u201d to do in saving the ocean and its inhabitants.<\/p>\n

“Together with our customers and retail and media, we want to bring meaningful change to the state of the word\u2019s water,” Oris said, introducing the Oris Aquis Date Relief.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Aquis Date Relief<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The Oris Aquis Date Relief is another one of the Swiss company’s collection of high-performance Aquis diver\u2019s watches, aimed at educating the importance of ocean protection and conservation.<\/p>\n

“The Aquis collection of diver\u2019s watches offers real-world functionality in an innovative package, through a combination of considered design, high-performance materials and fit-for-purpose functions,” Oris said.<\/p>\n
