As part of its mission to 'Go Your Own Way', Oris continues their commitment to behave in a more ecologically friendly way. As well as introducing more sustainable materials and manufacturing techniques, it also means raising awareness. The Oceans Project is at the forefront of that ambition, highlighting the threat posed to the world's oceans by plastic.

Each of the 2,000 pieces created carries a unique medal made of recycled plastic inserted into the case back.
