Baume and Mercier<\/a> have recently announced the release of the Baume Ocean. This new model was crafted to symbolise the brand’s intention to establish an ecological ethic. The Baume Ocean was created in collaboration with Waste Free Oceans (WFO)<\/a> and SEAQUAL INITATIVE<\/a>, two organisations that collect plastic debris from the seas and transform them into innovative products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Baume Ocean comes in two different colour variations, blue and green. These two pieces are housed in the Baume collection, first launched in 2018. It shares some of the unique design features of other models within the collection, which Baume and Mercier found successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe BAUME OCEAN Limited Edition from the BAUME collection is much more than a product. It symbolizes our determination to support our partners \u2013 WFO and SEAQUAL INITATIVE\u00a0\u2013 in their daily combat against marine pollution, and to participate in a global consideration of the Brand\u2019s role in today\u2019s society,\u201d <\/em><\/p> David Chaumet, CEO of Baume & Mercier<\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the key design features of the Baume Ocean is the off-centre crown which sits above the 12 o’clock position on the dial. The case measures 42mm and is crafted using a recycled plastic cap produced by the NGO WFO. The case is then sheathed in blue or green anodized aluminium. The cap is made up of 80% recycled plastic gathered by Waste Free Oceans and reinforced with 20% glass fibres to increase its resistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
