Oris is taking action to ramp up its recycling, reduce emissions, and generally improve sustainability at the manufacturing facilities in Hölstein. Even its watch straps are considered from an environmental standpoint — many are made from chrome-free tanned leather or recycled plastic. The Dat Watt Limited Edition brings awareness to the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat to help fulfill its mission to conserve the endangered Wadden Sea, the largest unbroken tidal flat in the world. Located in the southeastern part of the North Sea, it is home to about 10,000 animal species endangered by pollution and climate change. The DatWatt Limited Edition timepiece features the lunar cycle and tidal range in the Northern Hemisphere via the Oris-developed Pointer Moon function, which was created for professional divers. The central white pointer hand, once aligned with the correct day in the 29.5-day lunar cycle, indicates the corresponding tidal range. The same hand reveals the waxing and waning of the moon. This limited edition collection includes 2,009 watches, commemorating the year the Wadden Sea became a UNESCO World Heritage site. Not so incidentally, the name “Dat Watt” promotes preservation of another kind: in the local dialect, it translates to Wadden Sea. Oris ProPilot TLP Limited Edition promotes NATO pilot training. Oris, in partnership with the Tactical Leadership Program (TLP), created the ProPilotTLP Limited Edition. Founded in 1978,TLP is an elite pilot training school based in Spain that prepares NATO coalition pilots for tactical air operations. Limited to 750 pieces worldwide, the watch has a green dial inspired by TLP pilots’ flight overalls, beige detailing recalling the eagle in the TLP logo, and a green textile strap. The Big Crown ProPilot stainless steel case is coated in anti- glare gunmetal gray PVD.
