What do we think?
The Oris Whale Shark Limited Edition is based on the Oris Aquis GMT diver’s watch and is limited to 2,016 pieces to mark the year of the IUCN’s landmark whale shark announcement.
Change for the Better
Oris’s mission to bring Change for the Better turns to the Earth’s delicate ecosystem and to a watch that highlights the threat to the largest fish in the ocean, the magnificent whale shark. The whale shark can grow to be as long as a bus while feeding only on small fish. But this fascinating creature’s future is in grave danger. In 2016, the IUCN made the stark announcement that the global population of whale sharks had halved over the previous 75 years.
Love seeing a brand tie craftsmanship to a real environmental purpose. The Oris Whale Shark Limited Edition shows how thoughtful design can also raise awareness about conservation. As someone who follows fine watches and jewelry trends at an Atlanta Jewelry Store, it’s refreshing to see luxury pieces that stand for something bigger than style alone.
