Cali - Melting Ice Cap Blue

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.
