Oris has released a new limited-edition to support the Billion Oyster Project.
As part of the brand’s mission to help support the project’s work, the Swiss-based brand has released the New York Harbor Limited Edition.
It is a 2,000 piece limited edition and is based on Oris’ high-performance Aquis diver’s watch.
The signature feature of the piece is its green mother-of-pearl dial, inspired by the colour of the famous harbor’s water, and by oyster shell.
The Billion Oyster Project began in 2014 and was founded by educators Murray Fisher and Pete Malinowski.
The project recognised that without educating current and future generations, “conservation efforts would be futile.”
In the years since, the project has brought 11,000 volunteers, 8,000 students, 100 New York City schools and more than 50 restaurant partners together to place oysters, build reefs, and keep the story going.
The 41.5mm case is made of multi-piece stainless steel and features a unidirectional rotating bezel with minutes scale in relief.
Water resistant to 300m, the watch comes on a green rubber strap and is supplied with an additional multi-piece stainless steel metal bracelet.
Powered by the Oris 733 movement, it offers hours, minutes and central sweep seconds hands functionality as well as date with quick setting, a stop second device and a date window at 6 o’clock.
Available now, it retails for CHF 2,400.
