Oris, renowned for engaging with environmental causes, unveils yet another unique timepiece. The Aquis Date Kelp Forest Limited Edition is designed to spotlight the decline of marine kelp forests.

In a stunning display of horological ingenuity and a commitment towards environmental preservation, Swiss watchmaker Oris introduces the Aquis Date Kelp Forest Limited Edition.

Created in partnership with award-winning underwater photographer and long-time Oris ambassador, Francis Pérez, the timepiece spotlights the declining existence of kelp forests.

Rooted in Swiss precision, this mechanical watch is powered by the Oris calibre 733, offering a 41-hour power reserve, and features hours, minutes, central seconds and a date display. More than just a stunning timepiece, the Aquis Date Kelp Forest Limited Edition is a symbol of Oris’s commitment to conserving marine ecosystems. With a limited run of just 1,000 pieces, it retails at CHF 2,450, continuing Oris’s tradition of fusing haute horlogerie with purposeful problem-solving.
