Shinola’s Sea Creatures Detrola Skeleton Version is a 40mm sport watch inspired by critters of the deep sea—and built from ocean-bound plastic that used to threaten them. In a world where one truckload of plastic waste ends up in the sea every minute, Shinola is taking a stand for the earth’s resources, climate, and ecosystems with the Sea Creatures Detrola. This remarkable timepiece is crafted from #tide ocean material® granules and yarn, made entirely from 100% ocean-bound plastic waste. It’s a pollution solution that turns harmful plastics into a stunning wristwatch.
The Sea Creatures Detrola showcases a raw, translucent #tide ocean material® dial, allowing a captivating glimpse into its movement. With each Sea Creature timepiece, you become part of the solution, demonstrating that single-use plastics can have a second life, just not in the ocean. Due to the upcycled nature of #tide material, every Sea Creatures Detrola is unique, displaying slight variations in surface colors and occasional dark specs—a testament to the ocean plastic collected for the upcycling process.
Not only does the Sea Creatures Detrola promote environmental protection, but it also boasts impressive craftsmanship. Powered by the high-accuracy Argonite 715 quartz movement, hand-assembled in Detroit, this watch delivers precise timekeeping, including hours, minutes, seconds, and a calendar aperture function.
The Sea Creatures case, made from ocean-bound plastic with a stainless steel core, features an organic shape and matte finish, inspired by submarine hatches. It is water-resistant up to 10 ATM, making it the perfect companion for any adventure. The unidirectional ocean plastic dive bezel with a rippled wave pattern allows for easy time tracking. With its vibrant, organic “squircle”-shaped dial, crafted from translucent #tide ocean material®, the Sea Creatures Detrola draws inspiration from the colors and forms of ocean critters. The blue SuperLumi-Nova lume on the hands and indices adds a touch of bioluminescent beauty.
Join the movement to protect the earth’s natural resources with the Shinola Sea Creatures Detrola Skeleton Version. This incredible timepiece can be yours for $450 on Shinola’s website, offering both style and sustainability in one stunning package.
