Problem:

Plastic can be deemed a failure. Produced once, it never dies.

Plastic is an extensively most common-used material around the world due to its low cost and ability to be molded into many shapes. This is why it is a favored material for a wide range of products.

However, every year, millions of tons of plastics end up polluting the oceans and threatening and endangering wildlife when it comes to the environment. It takes centuries for plastic to degrade, and during that time it can contaminate both the soil and water sources.

We are here to protect the planet, not exploit it.

How it made:

Colors:

Reco comes with 4 colorways, including Neptune Green, Maize Yellow, Nimbus White, and Candy Pink, each boasting 5ATM water resistance.

Despite its fun nature, this watch has a serious message. Reinterpreting the classic look of a sport-formal watch in eco-friendly ocean plastic, it makes a statement about sustainability.

Wear this statement watch, while surfing, swimming, or at work as a reminder and conversation piece of our oceans’ health.
