Slater, the co-founder of Outerknown, a brand that creates stylish and sustainable casual men’s clothing, is a natural partner for Breitling, a brand that’s long been known for their exceptional Swiss watchmaking (along with the important cause of ocean conservancy).
All of the good, eco-friendly initiatives going on as a result of this watch are met equally with an impressive amount of taste and watchmaking expertise in its design. The DLC-coated stainless steel case, bold blue luminescent dial and the dark blue ECONYL yarn “Outerknown” NATO strap all come together to totally crush it in function and style.
Speaking of the yarn, this marks Breitling's first time using it in its Nato strap, further realising its mission of improving the environment through ethically-sourced products. The strap is made from a material created from nylon waste, one source of which is fishing nets from oceans around the world. Not only, then, is this designed with the world's oceans' cleanliness in mind, but it conjures all the wonderful elements and feelings of the blue tides in its design and construction.
