This tribute timepiece to Mike Horn addresses the famous explorer’s concerns for the environment with a couple of unique features. First, the use of recycled titanium dubbed EcoTitanium to fashion the case, crown protector, bezel and caseback. Second, the black strap is made of a material obtained from recycled PET.

Featuring blue luminescent accents on the dial, it is limited to 19 pieces but more importantly, the watch is also your "ticket" to a unique experience among the ice floes of the Artic under the guidance of Mike who is also a Panerai ambassador. Apart from being a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, this excursion will also highlight the dangers to our ecosystem caused by human impact, an issue close to Mike’s heart.

Edgy with a touch of luxe, Omega’s popular dive model now boasts a striking black-and-gold appearance. The bezel is composed of a black ceramic ring that has been laser-ablated for that grainy appearance, lending a chic contrast against the polished diving scale.

The wavy pattern of the black dial is paired with gold accents, notably the sub-dial rings crafted from 18k Sedna gold. The chronograph pushers are in black ceramic, which is a new feature in the collection. Last but not least, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9901 boasts a rotor and balance bridge in 18k Sedna gold.

Tudor was commissioned by the US Navy to develop a prototype dive watch that meets the American government’s set of specifications in 1967. While the prototype never made it to actual production, it stood out for its winding crown at ‘4’ and a hinged end-link system for locking the bidirectional bezel at ’12’, two features that can be found in its first commercial model, the Black Bay P01.

Housed inside the satin-brushed steel case is the COSC-certified automatic Calibre MT5612 endowed with a silicon balance spring. Bolstering the utilitarianism of the watch is a hybrid leather and rubber strap connected to the case via mobile steel attachments.

The eye-catching aqua blue of the dial and bezel may be an obvious reference to its dive character, but the watch also sends a clear message about the need to eliminate plastic from the oceans.

Created to celebrate Oris’ new partnership with Pacific Garbage Screening, an organisation that is developing a technology to capture plastic before it enters the oceans, the Aquis diver features a medallion on the caseback made from recycled PET and it looks like an abstract watercolour painting. Limited to 2,000 pieces, the presentation box has an outer shell made of environmentally friendly algae and an inlay composed of recycled plastic.
