Oris x Bracenet
The new Oris x Bracenet turns dangerous ocean plastic into something beautiful |
|
We’re very proud to introduce the Oris x Bracenet, a special-edition version of the Aquis Date diver’s watch with a spectacular dial made of recycled ‘ghost’ and end-of-life fishing nets. Crafted together with our new partner Bracenet, these dials are made by gently melting fishing net offcuts.
No two kaleidoscopic dials are the same – but they all tell the story of bringing Change for the Better. |

The net effect
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).

2. Setting the timer
With the stainless steel ring now visible, turn the top ring anti-clockwise and align the number on it that corresponds to your allocated dive time with the watch's minutes hand.
