A new committed watch from Triwa after Time for Peace and Time for Oceans, it is now Time for decarbonization !

Personally, I don't know if this is a real innovation or marketing bullshit but don't hesitate to give your opinion in the comments.

The steel industry is responsible for about 7% of global CO2 emissions. With our industries long tradition of working with steel it feels important to be in the forefront of producing watches with less or no impact. Together with Swedish specialised steel manufacturer SSAB, Triwa is proud to have produced the worlds first consumer product made with Fossil Free steel.

THE COLLECTION
_______________________
The first mini drop of 10 watches was launched in December 2022 and Triwa will then scale up production and launch 900 pcs in May 2023.

The watch case is made using fossil-free steel powder from SSAB Oxelösund in Sweden and comes in two different versions, with either an automatic or quartz movement. The dial color scheme and the oversized hour markers and hands have been inspired by SSAB's steel production.
