Introducing the new Oris X Bracenet Aquis with upcycled dials

Each dial upcycled and unique, in partnership with Bracenet. The Oris Bracenet Oris has been working on environmentally-conscious collaborations for a while now, and they're back with another great one, this time with the social enterprise Bracenet. The result: two Aquis Date watches with upcycled dials made of "ghost nets" and other used fishing nets Hölstein-based watch manufacture Oris have entered into a new partnership with Bracenet, and present the Oris x Bracenet, a pair of watches based on the evergreen Aquis Date diver's watch that feature colourful dials made of recycled fishing nets. Each dial is unique and tells the story of ocean conservation and the powerful changes we can bring when we act together to bring Change for the Better. The net effect Scientists believe the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), an area of plastic waste drifting between Hawaii and California, is four-and- a-half times the size of Germany. This figure was calculated by the environmental engineering organisation The Ocean Cleanup, which also estimates that 46 per cent of the GPGP is made up of fishing nets that have been lost or discarded. This is particularly serious because while they may no longer be in use, these ‘ghost’ fishing nets still catch and kill marine life as they hover in the water. It’s only recently that awareness of ghost nets has begun to rise, thanks to the vision and efforts of people like Benjamin Wenke and Madeleine von Hohenthal, founders of the social enterprise Bracenet. Back in 2015, they were diving in Tanzania when they became aware of the tragedy of "ghost nets". They began making bracelets out of upcycled ghost nets but now make a full catalogue of products that transform this potentially life-threatening waste product into something beautiful.

Each dial is unique and tells the story of ocean conservation and the powerful changes we can bring when we act together to bring Change for the Better. Making these kaleidoscopic dials involves taking small green, blue and white offcuts and gently warming them until they melt into the raw material. As they cool, they harden into a thin sheet of material. This is then cut to size, planed, and sanded down until it’s just 0.3mm thick. The material contains no additives, fillers or glues. No two dials are the same. Two sizes, one powerful message There are two stainless steel versions of the watch, one with a 43.50 mm case and a second with a 36.50 mm case. Both have automatic mechanical movements and uni-directional rotating bezels, and are water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres). The watch is powered by the Oris 733, based on the Sellita SW200-1, with central hours, minutes, and seconds, a date window at 6:00, instantaneous date, stop-second, and 38 hours of power reserve.
