In this blog, we&#8217;ll be introducing the Oris Aquis New York Harbor Limited Edition II; a stunning timepiece designed to celebrate and support the mission of restoring one billion oysters to New York Harbor by 2035. Inspired by the beauty of oyster reefs, this watch features a mesmerising aqua-green dial that captures the essence of the harbor\u2019s waters. With only 2,000 individually numbered pieces and proceeds going directly to this vital restoration effort, it\u2019s more than a watch; it\u2019s a statement for sustainability. Let\u2019s dive in and explore why this collaboration is truly a gem!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/oris-new-york-harbor-limited-edition-ii-435mm-aqua-green-dial-rubber-strap-steel-bracelet-set-01-733-7789-4187-set-p-175902\/\">Oris Aquis New York Harbor Limited Edition II<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nestled firmly within Oris&#8217; \u201cChange for the Better\u201d philosophy, the Aquis New York Harbor Limited Edition II blends dive-watch pedigree with eco-conscious purpose. It\u2019s built for real-world use with a 43.5mm multi-piece stainless steel case, a sand-blasted rotating bezel rendered in subtle relief, and a sculpted, quick-adjust bracelet with a matching aqua green rubber strap. However, it\u2019s the dial that steals the show. The aqua-green mother-of-pearl dial, artfully textured with an \u201coyster-shell effect\u201d, dances in the light; echoing the harbor\u2019s waves and shell motifs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than just a pretty dial, this watch channels its impact toward the Billion Oyster Project\u2019s bold goal of restoring a billion oysters to New York Harbor by 2035. This venture is already responsible for reintroducing over 150 million oysters with the help of volunteers and students. Each sale helps fund reef building, shell recycling, and marine education initiatives\u2014making this release truly purposeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-1110x624.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-930x523.png 930w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-750x422.png 750w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-510x287.png 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-360x203.png 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dial.tif-120x68.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Below the surface, the Oris Calibre 733 powers the watch.
