Called the Arctic Ocean Save the Ocean GMT, the watch marks a collaboration between the Japanese watchmaker and the PADI Awareness Foundation’s Marine Debris Program, to which a proportion of proceeds from the watch will be given.
Limited to 1,500 pieces worldwide and available in November, the watch features a striking white dial designed to look like the icy surface of a glacier, while the cool theme continues with the ‘Arctic Blue’ GMT hour hand and ‘GMT’ inscription.

Being a GMT, this watch has a second hour hand that sweeps around the dial once every 24 hours. Use this in conjunction with the 24-hour markings around the outer edge of the dial, and you have a simple way of keeping track of a second time zone. Ideally you’d set this to GMT and leave it there, but you could set the hand differently, depending on whichever secondary time zone you need – handy for frequent flyers who want to keep an eye on the time at home.
Being a diving watch, the Prospex Arctic Ocean has Lumibrite on the hands, indexes and bezel to provide nighttime illumination.
