The Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III – to support and restore the world’s largest reef system The Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III supports a programme to regrow devastated coral reefs. The proceeds from the sales of this model are linked to a coral planting project by the Reef Restoration Foundation to save the world’s largest and most diverse reef system, off Fitzroy Island near Cairns, Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is about 8,000 years old, and home to 1,500 species of fish, more than 400 types of hard coral, a third of the world’s soft corals, and six of the world’s seven species of threatened marine turtles. Two hot summers in 2016 and 2017 led to coral bleaching events, leaving vast areas of reefs all over the world devastated. The rejuvenation program involves taking cuttings from healthy corals that have survived the bleaching events and attaching them to coral tree frames in an ocean-based nursery next to a damaged reef and then transplanting them to the reefs.

The Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III is a limited edition of 2,000 pieces. Why water conservation matters to Oris and how the brand is helping save the earth one watch at a time... The two watches come as a part of 'The Oceans Project' initiative of the brand – a campaign framed as a series of watches and activities to strengthen Oris’ commitment to oceanic health. One of the non-profits featured here is the Reef Restoration Foundation, which works to 'regenerate high-value corals on the Great Barrier Reef with coral planting projects to counter the effects of coral bleaching'. And the other, the Pacific Garbage Screening, is 'developing technology that will help keep the world’s water clean by capturing plastic before it enters the ocean'. Both are relatively new non-profits, but are nonetheless doing important work to counter the toxic effects of rising ocean temperatures and plastic pollution.

[Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp.]( Plastic, plastic everywhere and Oris is fighting to help rid the ocean of it Pictured here is an ugly but realistic sight of marine pollution today. Over 700 tonnes of plastic enter the oceans each hour, via rivers and dumps by ships. Plastic remains in the oceans for over 100 years and enters the food chain. The Oceans Project provides funding and publicity support to various non-profits thinking up 21st-century solutions to a 20th-century legacy – the issue of marine plastic waste, which continues to this day. An estimated 22 tonnes of plastic are dumped into the oceans each day.

'Turning trash into treasure', the Trilogy's box is made entirely of chemically-inert, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Plastic bottles are shredded into small pieces, which are arranged by hand and pressed into a panel. Each box is thus unique, adding artistic individuality to the otherwise prosaic act of recycling. “When we replace the plastic that we use in our boxes by 30 per cent algae, the immediate impact is not huge but it shows what is possible," says Rolf Studer, Oris' co-CEO.

[Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp.]( The Swiss brand banned plastic bottles in its vicinity to emphasise a point underlined by its newest limited edition timepiece: plastics are polluting our oceans, and it’s up to everyone to assist in the clean-up. Oris supports Pacific Garbage Screening. Founded by architect Marcella Hansch, the organisation is working to build a floating platform that will be anchored in the ocean and be able to safely and effectively collect plastic waste from the water while also raising awareness about the impact such waste has on the environment. 2. The Oris Clean Ocean Limited Edition – to support a special technology to capture plastic before it enters the ocean The Clean Ocean Limited Edition supports an Oris partnership with Pacific Garbage Screening, which is developing technology to capture plastic before it enters the ocean. The system, developed by an architect, works by positioning a floating platform in the path of ocean currents where it filters plastics and microplastics. It causes the low-density plastics to rise to the surface, where they can be retrieved before hitting the ocean. Unlike systems that use nets, it will not harm fish or other ocean life.
