Luminox is partnering with famous adventurer Bear Grylls to design an innovative, eco-friendly watch design. Composed of recycled elements, this stylish timepiece uses ocean-bound plastics sourced from #tide and reduces environmental impact within the fashion industry.
To create the watch's components, the plastic waste undergoes a meticulous process: it is broken down into basic particles, thoroughly cleaned and treated, and then shredded. The resulting material is injected into molds, maintaining the same integrity as original plastics. To finish its design, the watch comes decorated with the mantras “Every second counts” and “Never give up."
“When it comes to reducing harm to our wild places and natural environment, we need to be the change we want to see. I am so proud to partner with Luminox on our new ECO Series watch, leading the way towards a future without plastic,” said Grylls in a statement.
