The watch community is also mad for affordable watches with a) a bit of personality and b) a decent sustainability story, which is why this new 41mm Detrash Cali hits so many spots.

... newcomers to the world of horology, including Detrash, founded in 2023 by Guy Blaskey, a former pet food entrepreneur. His aim was to create a totally sustainable watch with recycled steel cases and an ocean plastic straps

Detrash also delivers when it comes to providing a well-crafted overall package, and the Midnight Sky is a solid and capable diver that can easily serve as a person’s daily wristwatch

Almost entirely blacked out with a few hints of vintage Batman yellow, it’s made with 80% recycled steel so that you know you’re on the good team. With an automatic movement, solid specs and a strict limited edition, it’s also a steal.

A cool timepiece with a conscience; a dive watch with a difference, this watch is made to do some good while also looking good.

Few microbrands seem to have sustainability front of mind, at least in their formative stages: they want to walk before they run. As you’d expect from a brand called Detrash, however, Guy’s all about starting out on the right foot

Individually numbered limited editions

All watches are limited to about 100 units. The exact same design will never be produced agin once they are sold out.

Watches for adventurous people who want to help protect nature's playgrounds

You never actually own the planet. You merely look after it for the next generation.

From GQ's "Best British Watch Brands"

"Making trash desirable. Yes, this British microbrand really means it with eco-friendly materials, minimal packaging made of recycled (and recyclable) cardboard, and a commitment from founder Guy Blaskey to give 1% of the brand’s annual revenue to planetary causes. The Gotham’s Vigilante model [like all other models] is made of 80% recycled steel on an ocean-plastic strap, a fitting tribute to the superhero."
