Where sport meets designHarry Winston: The new Ocean Sport collection
The new Ocean Sport is the epitome of innovation and design. A state of mind nurtured by challenges. A strength of conviction. Carved out of the exclusive Zalium alloy, it bears the signature of innovation. Its sporting personality highlights its powerful nature. Its design places it firmly in the avant-‐garde of a 21st century spirit distinguished by innovation and accomplishment.
Light, non-allergenic, harder than titanium and extremely corrosion-resistant. The cases of the Ocean Sport set the bar extremely high in terms of performance. The material called Zalium from which they are fashioned propels the collection firmly into the era of cutting-edge technology. Its impressive chemical properties are matched by its rarity: zirconium is far scarcer than titanium and its exceptional hardness makes it very hard to machine. Its specific technical characteristics echo the sporting spirit of the Ocean Sport collection, molded by a distinctive approach to design. The men’s models feature a DLC coating on certain bezel elements that further enhances its resistance to wear. Calling for a blend of know-‐how and mastery, Zalium mirrors the qualities of the entire Ocean Sport collection: energetic, contemporary and impactful.
The Harry Winston signature styling is apparent in even the slightest design details. The brand’s taut, prominent signature arches clearly assert their personality, while the angular pushers also establish a strong presence on either side of a Zalium crown which is DLC treated on the men’s models. The ratcheted bezel confirms the sporting spirit of the collection through a forceful design, and the dial architecture adopts the same attitude through distinctive relief and depth effects. Blue accents here and there set the finishing touch to the powerful character of these watches, while also perfecting their readability. Finally, the bright and athletic Superluminova-‐ enhanced hands adopt a beveled profile that further accentuates the dynamic appearance of the dial.
Ocean Sport for him
The Ocean Sport men’s watches proudly display a 44 mm diameter made from Zalium that is DLC-coated on the indexes. The lugs, arches and pushers are taut, distinct and resolutely sporty. The flange bears a chapter ring, while Superluminova markers ensure optimal readability. Equipped with a self-‐winding movement, the men’s Ocean Sport watches are prepared to face each and every challenge.
Ocean Sport Automatic
High-‐tech modernity is highlighted by a decidedly geometrical approach. The Ocean Sport™ Automatic watch radiates the stature of natural-born winners. The three-dimensional dial is delineated by a hatched pattern echoing the notches on the bezel. The architecture is accentuated by silver-‐toned edges accentuating the resolutely contemporary and masculine design. The date is boldly displayed through a broad opening at 3 o’clock opposite the signature Harry Winston arches. Its blue numerals match the color of the central sweep-‐seconds hand, while phosphorescent accents enable optimal read-off of the time information.
Ocean Sport Chronograph
Visual depth, fine mechanics, technical sophistication: the Ocean Sport Chronograph watch offers a total immersion experience plunging observers into the very heart of time technology. The Zalium unidirectional rotating bezel features DLC-coated indexes enhancing its powerful, contemporary personality, while the Zalium® case frames an openworked three-dimensional dial with a metallic smoked finish that lends added depth to the time functions. The intricate workings of the skeletonized movement are clearly visible beneath the Superluminova enhanced hands distinctly pointing to the hours and minutes marked on the flange. Other luminescent elements ensure perfect legibility of the time. The black ruthenium colored and skeletonized date disk turns steadily in order to clearly display the date at 12 o’clock, inviting the gaze to boldly explore the intricate gearwheels of time itself.
Ocean Sport for her
Impetuous yet eternally elegant, the new Ocean Sport ladies’ watches make the most of their feminine charms in order to exalt their sporting nature. Each in their own style, they opt for a combination of satin-finish and polished Zalium that plays with the light. One sets off on the conquest of design sobriety, armed with a design that is finely honed down to the smallest detail. The other proclaims its sporting nature with a chronograph function clad in diamonds that emphasize its impeccably precision.
Ocean Sport Quartz
The Ocean Sport Quartz watch dares to marry sophistication with sportiness. Its notched bezel surrounds a sunray guilloché dial swept over by luminescent beveled hands. The indexes are set with 30 diamonds, while the date appears through a window at 6 o’clock. A ridged rubber strap fastened by a polished Zalium folding clasp extends its sporty and perfectly proportioned silhouette. The Ocean Sport Quartz watch is available in two dial versions: silver or slate--‐toned, teamed with a black or white rubber strap.
Ocean Sport Ladies’ Chronograph
The Ocean Sport Ladies’ Chronograph eloquently proves that shorttime measurement is not an exclusively masculine privilege. The bezel set with nine diamonds is graced with engraved indexes creating a sophisticated and determined personality. The sporting and glamorous esthetic extends onto the dial, where precious stones, a stylized shuriken and chronograph functions vie for the limelight. The three dimensional spiral shaped watch face plays with various levels and an offcentered layout. It combines a sunray satin brushed central finish with an offcentered rhodiumcolored ring featuring a Côtes de Genève finishing, punctuated by a single diamond like a sporting trophy. 15 other precious stones highlight the indexes. The subdials feature Harry Winston’s iconic snailed silvercolored finishes, while the date appears at 6 o’clock, admirably completing the perfect overall visual balance. The sporting spirit is confirmed through touches of Superluminova at 12 o’clock as well as on the beveled hands, and by the shuriken that rotates in step with the seconds. Behind the scenes runs a mechanical selfwinding movement endowed with a 42-hour power reserve. The dial is available in two versions: silver or rhodiumcolored, fitted with a rubber strap.
