Dubbed ‘Kermit Day’, this detail reminds us to slow down and make a little time for ourselves. Housed in a lightweight yet tough 39mm titanium case with a domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal, this watch is built for daily wear. Beyond the watch’s cheerful exterior lies an Oris Calibre 400 automatic movement. With a five-day power reserve, it promises both superior accuracy and reliability.
