TRIWA Sub Ocean Plastic-Nemo 5

TRIWA is a Swedish company with a strong emphasis on transforming an industry that has possibly become a little stale over time – that of the wristwatch. TRIWA stands for Transforming the Industry of Watches (future pub quiz question!) and they aim to do this by utilising innovative materials as well as choosing to work with people that care about what and how they make things. This leads us on to the product in question.

The SUB Ocean Plastic-Nemo is, as you may have already guessed from the name, made completely out of recycled ocean plastic. Its design is reminiscent of old-school diving watches that we all wore so proudly back in the 90’s (well, being someone to keep up with the fashions back then, I did anyway!) even though many of us never actually went anywhere near a body of water deeper than our local swimming pool… But the major difference here is that you can wear this one knowing that you haven’t impacted on the environment anymore than you absolutely have to.

The plastic has been removed from the environment (where it can do all sorts of horrible things such as killing wildlife and ending up in our food supply as micro-plastic, yuck!) and put back out there in a vastly more useful form than it was and nothing else harmful has been created to do so. Win-win in my book! Couple that with the eye-catching colour of the watch and the actually practical, clear and clean watch-face, devoid of all those irritating ‘extras’ that seem to plague modern wrist-watches these days, you could almost be forgiven for actually wanting to go deep-sea diving while wearing it! Now, where did I put my scuba gear? Maybe I left it at the local swimming pool… RRP £129
