OMNI Green Watch - Stainless Steel

OMNI: For Those Who Want It All
Where Elegance Meets Eco-Consciousness

Introducing the OMNI Collection by Bernhard H. Mayer® – where timeless elegance seamlessly blends with sustainable innovation.

Crafted for the discerning individual, this collection embodies the belief that luxury and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. Experience the fusion of high-fashion design and world-class recycled materials, culminating in a range that truly offers the best of both worlds.

Derived from the Latin word 'OMNI', meaning 'ALL', these watches are a testament to uncompromised luxury with a purpose. OMNI wearers are not just trendsetters; they're visionaries who seek more from life, transcending fleeting fashions for lasting impact.


A Statement of Sustainable Style

Each timepiece in the OMNI Collection tells its own story, yet a shared narrative of sustainability runs through them all. Classic meets contemporary with a harmonious blend of geometric shapes, Arabic numbers, and Roman numerals gracing the unique OMNI watch face.

Versatile and inclusive, the OMNI Collection is designed for every individual, occasion, and mood, offering a diverse palette of designs and hues.


SAME SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.

While the OMNI Collection champions sustainability, it does not compromise on quality. At first glance, the luxury and elegance are evident, but delve deeper, and its commitment to the environment shines through.

Boasting an industry-leading 85% recycled stainless steel in its case, dial, buckles, and metal bracelets, each piece is a testament to eco-responsibility, certified by the globally acclaimed LEED.

The vibrant straps, crafted from recycled Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), are not just eco-friendly but also a marvel in material innovation. Resilient, non-toxic, and aesthetically pleasing, they offer the feel of velvet, the look of leather, and the performance of rubber. 

 

Recycled Materials: Luxury's New Standard

The OMNI Collection is a testament to the untapped potential of sustainable luxury. 

Recycled Steel

With an industry-leading 85% recycled stainless steel, certified by LEED, each watch is a beacon of eco-conscious craftsmanship.

Case, dial, buckles, and metal bracelets

All stainless steel used throughout The OMNI Collection is at least 85% recycled and is certified by LEED, which provides a framework for efficient, carbon-saving green initiatives. LEED certification is a globally recognised symbol of sustainability achievement, and it is backed by an entire industry of committed organisations and individuals paving the way for market transformation.

Material Reuse
Due to its durability, stainless steel products have the potential to be reused.

Building Life Cycle Assessment
Life cycle data for stainless steel exists at the industry average. Because of its durability, stainless steel usually does not need to be replaced for at least 60 years of usage. At the same time, maintenance requirements are low.

Product Statement
The recycled stainless steel in The OMNI Collection complies with ISO 14001 LEED standard including pre- and post-consumer steel waste. 

The OMNI Collection uses high-grade recycled stainless steel that is durable, requires low maintenance, is versatile, and has less environmental impact.

Recycled TPU Straps

Beyond their vibrant appeal, these straps are a marvel of sustainable engineering. Certified by The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS), the TPU in OMNI watches is durable, versatile, and environmentally friendly. Its unique properties, ranging from high abrasion resistance to flexibility, make it the material of choice for those who demand both style and substance.

The Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) is an international, voluntary standard that sets requirements for third party certification. It is a chain of custody standard to track recycled raw materials through the supply chain, based on the chain of custody requirements of the Content Claim Standard (CSS).

Material Properties
The TPU used in OMNI watches is a recycled, recyclable, non-toxic polymer material. Compared to alternatives such as silicone or vulcanised rubber, TPU has excellent structural resistance, a broad temperature range (-30 °C to + 70 °C), and a high resistance to abrasion. 

This TPU is also super flexible and smooth without giving up its durability or strength. It is both oil- and water-resistant and has excellent load-carrying and impact resistance. 

Material Source
TPU is made from secondary raw materials that have already gone through a product cycle and have been processed by specific procedures to make them ready for use.

Thermoplastic has a lower Carbon Footprint
TPU is biodegradable and recyclable and does not contribute to pH changes in soil or groundwater during the biodegradation process.

If you have a hand-wound watch, it is advisable to wind it every morning. Mechanical watches must be serviced at least every three to five years to have the mechanics checked and relubricated. The tiny parts inside the watch are under tremendous strain, so friction is their greatest enemy. Lubrication prevents the bearings from drying out and grinding away the steel parts.

Exposing your watch to high temperatures, such as placing it on the dashboard of your vehicle or submerging it in a hot tub, may cause the watch to malfunction, may shorten battery life, or may damage its internal components. Leaving the watch in extreme cold temperatures may cause irregular timekeeping.

Do not expose an analogue quartz watch to magnetism. If you do, it may temporarily stop operating or may show gain or loss in time.

To ensure that it maintains its water resistance, make sure the crown of the watch is always pushed against the case. You should have your watch checked once a year for water resistance. Condensation inside your watch is an indication that its water resistance has been affected.

For maximum performance, regularly wipe your watch with a clean, soft cloth. Stains, water spots and dirt that have accumulated on the case, crystal or bank may cause premature wear. If you use your water-resistant watch in the shower, chlorinated water or saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly afterwards.

Care for the Crystal Surface

  • A watch may have a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face, but that doesn't mean you should toss your watch on top of the dresser or into a drawer at the end of the day. It is better to store or wrap it in a soft cloth before placing it down.
  • Replace broken or scratched crystals immediately. Even a hairline crack can bring dust or moisture into the mechanism, affecting the accuracy.

Care for Metal Bracelets

  • If you participate in activities that cause you to sweat excessively, you may want to consider getting a watch with a metal bracelet or rubber strap, rather than a leather strap.
  • Since the metal bracelet is worn next to the skin, it collects dust and perspiration, which becomes soiled if not cleaned regularly. This is particularly true of the inner mesh of the bracelet.
  • When soil and rust are present in a bracelet, they are dissolved by perspiration and can cause staining of the cuffs and, in some instances, irritation of the skin.
  • Wipe dirt and perspiration off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If the watch is water resistant, you can occasionally clean the bracelet with a soft brush and warm soapy water. Dry the bracelet completely.
  • A toothpick can also be used to clean any dirt that has built up in the bracelet or casing of the watch.

Care for Leather Straps

  • Straps that are made of natural and genuine leather will gradually deteriorate with constant exposure to perspiration. If not cleaned, perspiration can wash out the natural oils and cause the leather to become dry. Any moisture should be blotted with a soft cloth or paper towel and the strap should be allowed to dry naturally.
  • Salt residue and soil can be removed from leather straps by cleaning it with a dampened soft cloth and mild soap (or saddle soap, which is special leather soap).
  • Wear the strap slightly loose, with an allowance of one finger space between the wrist and strap. This invites air circulation and allows any moisture to evaporate.

Care for Rubber Straps

  • Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush.
  • Solvents, oils, perspiration, tanning lotions and salt can cause rubber to deteriorate if not removed.
