Oris active for the protection of the seas

Ernst Bromseis

For many years, Oris has been campaigning for the protection and conservation of the oceans as part of the company’s mission to make a difference.

There are however increasingly alarming signs that much remains to be done. Along with its customers, retailers and the media, the watchmaker wishes to significantly improve the state of water in the world.

To make this dream come true, Oris has launched the Oris Aquis Date Relief watch, which is joining the Aquis diver’s watch collection. The company has also announced a new partnership with swimmer and water ambassador Ernst Bromseis.

Ernst took the Oris Aquis Date Relief to Lake Baikal with photographer Maurice Haas for a preparation swim ahead of his 2019 project “The Blue Miracle”, which will see him swim across a number of lakes, including Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake, to raise awareness of the world’s water.

Oris and Ernst are going their own way through this project to educate thousands of people about the need to conserve the world’s water – before it’s too late.
