Luxury watches are not typically associated with waste materials, but Detrash is creating unique timepieces from exactly that. Detrash transforms ocean plastic into high-end watches. Their latest creation, the £375 Au.M. G dive watch , is a prime example of this. Detrash's new Au. M.G is a limited-edition release, with only 100 produced and just 30 still available to buy on the brand's website, reports Yorkshire Live . This timepiece has already caught the attention of eco-conscious consumers with its design, which includes 80% recycled surgical-grade steel and a strap made from tide ocean plastic. Despite its unconventional origins, the watch features a stylish scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The Au. M.G model also marks Detrash's first foray into PVD gold coating, giving the watch a timeless look. Constructed from 80% recycled surgical-grade steel, the watch features a dial inspired by one of the brand's popular but permanently sold out designs, the Gotham's Vigilante model. The watch is also water-resistant up to 200 metres and boasts a sturdy design meant to withstand wear and tear, ensuring it can be passed down to future generations. For those wondering about the name Au. M.G, these letters stand for gold, marine, and grit, reflecting the materials employed in its creation. The brand doesn't just concentrate on its components, as it commits 1% of every purchase towards backing Surfers Against Sewage. There are plenty of other premium timepieces currently available around the country, as well. This includes Tissot's PR 100 Blue 40mm model , on sale at Goldsmiths for £285. It's water-resistant to 10 bar and is crafted from premium 316L stainless steel. Shoppers can also grab the Citizen Men's Blue Chronograph Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet watch at half price from H.Samuel. Presently slashed from £250 to £125, it boasts an eye-catching blue dial and a convenient date display. Returning to Detrash , the company's website showcases countless positive reviews, with one purchaser stating: "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!" Another commented: "It's a joy to check the time... Lovely attention to detail, the watch feels and looks quality...one friend guessed it cost 'easily £3-4k!' However, one customer pointed out in their review that the watch might be a bit too hefty for daily wear, stating: "It's chunky and maybe too heavy as a go to every day watch. That said, for wearing for an occasion, it's pucker - looks fantastic." Despite this minor issue, another pleased customer commented: "Awesome product, looks amazing and super fast delivery."
