THE ULTIMATE IN LEGIBILITY Created to be a pure "Tool Watch", the Himalayan Project was designed with a focus on performance and style. The brand's founders put their skills as car designers to the test and made sure that every line and every feature had meaning, from the elevated Indexes, a nod to the Himalayan topography, to the seamless integration of the rubber strap - everything needed to make sense. For the preorder only every watch will include the integrated rubber strap and the OCTOPOD, along with the single pass nylon adventure strap. IN HONOR OF THE HERO BEHIND THE CURTAIN On his attempt to summit K2 for the 7th time this July, 5 time World Record holder Mingma Sherpa David was equipped with a prototype of this watch. David supported Nims Dai (from the Netflix, 14 Peaks documentary) to achieve the seemingly impossible goal of climbing all 14 of the worlds 8,000m+ peaks, within the space of 6 months. Mingma David will continue to test this timepiece to its limits on future expeditions and will play a pivotal role in the refinement and development of the Ocean To Orbit watch portfolio. FUNCTION AS A FOUNDATION FOR DESIGN Forged from grade 5 Titanium with 1200 Vickers treatment and featuring "Lumicast" indexes, with double thickness Superluminova on the hands, the Himalayan Project is about performance and legibility. With refinement, elegance and style, derived from its shared DNA, the Himalayan Project is in many ways complementary to the Lhotse, but the focus on function has allowed us to create a very different aesthetic. About Ocean To Orbit Founded in 2020 by David Dewitt and Siddhartha Kazami, Ocean to Orbit brings together over 35 years of design experience from the automotive industry. Their philosophy is simple: to create watches that are aesthetically balanced, mechanically sound, and emotionally engaging. Each model is built as a design exercise in proportion and purpose - functional enough for explorers, but refined enough for collectors. Prototypes have even accompanied Nepali mountaineer Purnima Shrestha on Himalayan ascents, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to making watches that work beyond the drawing board.
