New eco-friendly Oris Aquis with dial made from recycled fishing nets
Oris has been working on environmentally conscious collaborations for some time, and is back with another great collaboration, this time with social enterprise Bracenet
In 2015, the founders of Bracenet were diving in Tanzania when they learned of the tragedy of "ghost nets," the lost, abandoned or discarded fishing nets that float for centuries in the ocean and leave a terrible impact on ocean life in their wake. ride.
In this case, these waste nets are used to make dials.
They are a kaleidoscope born from small green, blue and white scraps, delicately heated and melted, then cooled and hardened into a thin sheet of material. The sheet is then cut to size, planed and sanded to a thickness of 0.3mm with no additives, fillers or glues used in the process.
There are no additives, fillers or glues. No two dials are the same.
