A Harry Winston Ocean timepiece is the perfect accessory for summer, whether you're island-hopping on a luxury yacht in the Greek isles or are simply looking to elevate your daily routine. Offering an array of men's and ladies' models to suit any occasion, Ocean timepieces are made for the audacious individual who dares and lives life to the fullest. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the signature line owes its success to a singular design code and bold spirit combined with generous lashings of glamour and sophistication.

The house's dedicated sports collection, Ocean timepieces boast Swiss-made movements crafted with the latest cuttingedge technology for unparalleled accuracy. A solid water-resistance of up to 100m allows for myriad adventurous possibilities.

Offered in 36, 42, 44 and 45mm, the collection's watches are distiguished by three arches framing the crown a reference to the entrance of Harry Winston's flagship salon in New York City. Beyond its round cases in gold, there is Zalium, the revolutionary alloy created by the house's former president Ronald Winston, who was also a chemical engineer. Even harder than titanium, ultra-lightweight and resistant to corrosion and scratches, the zirconium alloy is reserved for the high-tech timepieces from the Project Z series.

Discerning collectors will be familiar with the headlining range - the Ocean Biretrograde. Flaunting an ex-centred hours and minutes counter at 12 o'clock, two symmetrical retrograde counters for the seconds and days, and a date window at 6 o'clock, the fascinating references have become iconic designs. The Ocean line also comprises watches in a range of complications, including this year's pair of extraordinary novelties that highlight Harry Winston's creativity and savoir faire in watchmaking and gem-setting.
