About this model
When the ice caps are melting and Trump's back in power, it’s clear the planet needs all the help it can get. That’s why we created the Cali in Melting Ice Cap Blue. This bold, blue-dialed beauty is your daily reminder to take action and keep the climate conversation alive. Made sustainably and built to spark change, it’s not just a watch—it’s a wrist-sized protest against climate apathy. Wear it, flaunt it, and let’s keep the planet thriving.
The "Cali - Melting Ice Cap Blue" is a dive watch with a textured, California dial featuring Cliff (our WWII pilot, surfer, globe mascot), an exhibition case back and polished case sides.
Its a 41mm dive watch made with 80% recycled steel, on an ocean-plastic strap, with a Seiko NH35 automatic movement, 200m water resistance and sapphire crystal (front and back). Each watch is limited to 100 individually numbered piece and at least 1% of turnover goes to help the planet.

Let customers speak for us
The finishing on this piece is excellent, and with the blue against the gold colour it oozes class. Everything lines up and the bezel has a quality feel and sound to it. The recycled strap has a very comfy feel on the wrist, the whole package is something to be proud of. This will stay in my collection.
Delighted so far with my first Detrash watch. Excellent turn round time & friendly communication with the Detrash team throughout the buying process. Watch arrived very robustly packaged. Early thoughts on unboxing are v positive - crisp markings and good winding feel from the movement. Strap from recycled material is quite stiff at “first feel” but hopefully it will loosen off with wear. Look forward to giving it every opportunity to do so. Many thanks - Alan.
The Poison Ivy looks even better in real life than the photos: beautiful matt bezel contrasts with the green ( nicely lumed). Good grip and click on rotation. Very comfortable on my ( female/ smallish ) wrist. Makes me smile when I look at it. Fantastic after-sales help from Guy with shipping query. Really stoked.
An extremely well crafted watch, looks amazing and stands out without being too show-y. The attention to detail, such as the patterned side of the rotating bezel and raised luminous dots for hour markings, mean this comfortable watch is fast becoming my daily choice!
Great quality watch really pleased with it will no doubt be buying another at some point
Product is of good quality, looks great and a fantastic addition to my collect, good value for money
I purchased the watch on a bit of an impulse as the colour combination really stood out from the photos and I didn't want to miss out given they're limited to 100 pieces.
I knew the case size was a little smaller than I typically wear, but it's a really nicely proportioned watch and immediately became my fiancé's new favourite watch from my collection.
Lovely attention to detail, the watch feels and looks quality...one friend guessed it cost "easily £3-4k"!
I’m so impressed with my new Detrash watch; the weight, the size, the quality of the finish, the colour. In so many ways, regardless of its green credentials - which are a bonus and a talking point - this is just a superb watch at a highly affordable price. And it’s limited edition, what’s not to love?
Love the watch really comfortable to wear, even on long bike rides , looks great 👍
Great looking watch, comfortable strap, easy order and delivery!
Great watch at a good price. Bought as a general wear anywhere anytime watch, had lots of comments and compliments from friends.
Swapped the strap for a rubber deployant, pretty much perfect now for what I bought it for.
When the watch arrived I loved it, but found it difficult (probably due to my age!) to tell the time with the black on black hands. I immediately decided to return it and swap it for a "Blue Steel" which arrived promptly and I love equally as much. Detrash were easy to deal with and there were no delivery delays as I exchanged the watch within 48 hours. very happy customer... many thanks
I’ve been wedded to the same watch for years so when it was ‘time’ to look for a new watch it wasn’t easy. Outside the mainstream brands, there is a world of same-o, cheap, fake, modded models to choose from so I was delighted to find a second UK (and Dorset) based company making watches with style, design ethic and ethos and at a comfortable price.
The watch I chose (Poison Ivy) is beyond my expectations in every respect. The company feels personal, agile; quick to respond to requests with fast delivery and will hopefully stay around for a long time.

Founder's note
"Detrash is a passion project. I love watches, but find most of them boring, and the ones that are even vaguely fun can be eye wateringly expensive (£200k - over £1m for a Richard Mille with a smiley face!). In 2023 I sold my first business and this gave me some time to look at watches properly. The main thing that amazed me was that unlike FMCG (my last business) very few companies are even trying to do anything ethical. It feels like every other industry is switching to have more of a purpose and do some good in the world, and the watch world isn't even trying. This is a massive shame, but together we can fix this" Guy Blaskey
