Oris Keep their mission to Deliver change to for the Greater with the Oris Lake Baikal Limited Edition!

This follows on from models such as the Oris Great Barrier Reef, the Clean Ocean Limited Edition, and even the Movember Edition also!
Oris use their platform to not only increase awareness for problems around the world, but to raise money too, and are helping to support some of the less-talked about issues we are confronting now. The majority of issues and charities supported by the utilization of Oris watches are joined to the surroundings, and especially the sea, and lakes. This was seen previously with their assistance of Hammerhead conservation, as well as their Staghorn coral project too.
The job the brand, and also the organisations that they support, therefore is fantastic, and goes a very long way to assisting the regions of our planet that want it. It is also another fantastic way for us to get involved and do our bit, by buying these watches, and even just talking about them, the attention on those problems is rising, which is certainly a start in the ideal direction!
With this latest project, Oris have launched a new version of their high performance Aquis diver’s watch, that was created in partnership with the Lake Baikal Foundation.
Oris are not just proud to be working together with the Lake Baikal Foundation, but to be raising funds in support of’Point No.1′ too! That is a conservation project being conducted by the Scientific Research Institute of Biology at Irkutsk State University, setup to conserve Lake Baikal, and supported by the foundation.

The Lake Baikal Foundation are an environmental nonprofit organisation who specialize in water and biodiversity conservation, as well as sustainable tourism and environmental education too.
The base was set on November 22, 2016, since they started a journey to market natural science, humanitarian projects and initiatives which are intended to preserve and develop the Baikal territory along with the lake itself.
A Deeper Issue.
Found in the broad geographical region of Sibera, Lake Baikal is thought to be 25 million years, and contains a massive value in the surrounding locations, and all around the world. 20 percent of the earths new lake water reservations are held in the lake, in addition to over 50 percent of their world’s drinkable freshwater also, demonstrating it’s importance.
Lake Baikal is the deepest lake on earth, reaching a substantial 1,642 meters at it’s lowest depth, which is approximately 5 of the Eiffel Tower, almost 4 of the Empire State Building and 2 of the Burj Khalifa! Does it have an incredible depth, but it is also fed by a few 300 rivers too!

The lake is home to thousands of species or endemic plants and animals, that are all being placed in danger by the pollution created by human’s, together with sector being the largest threat to the lake.
What is Point No.1? The station Isn’t far from the Biological Station of the Institute of Biology of the Irkutsk State University we mentioned before.
‘Point No.1’ is also another name for the long term ecological monitoring project at Lake Baikal, which was launched all the way back in 1945.
When, and why, was it based?
The Lake Baikal monitoring program was launched in February 1945 by the world famous Lake Baikal researcher, Professor Mikhail Kozhov, during the Second World War.
The app was established long before’ecological monitoring’ became a widely used term. The idea of this program was to observe the special ecosystem of the lake and the surrounding property in an attempt to better prevent and react to the challenges and threats to the eco-community by taking phytoplankton and zooplankton samples.
This was not the only goal, since they also looked to study the omul fish, a resident of this lake, and expected to maximize its productivity. The data gathered from these studies was listed in a unique and highly valuable database that is available to the worldwide scientific community.
Averting risks to the lake
There are a number of threats to the longevity and health of the lake; atmospheric inputs and anthropogenic influences from tourism. These threats include sewage and local pollution, as well as industry created pollution form across the world.
Overcoming these is key to the lake’s ecosystem, and it starts with education, and is encouraged by regulating nature usage and practical steps being taken locally. This high tech dive watch is the foundation for most of the brands special edition pieces, and it is clear to see . Not only is this a highly functional, and dependable dive watch, but it’s also fantastic looking. An iconic style that may be worn for virtually any occasion and is perfect for people that are diving fans and those that are searching for a good-looking and reliable timepiece too!
Each watch in the limited edition run of 1,999 will come done with a distinctive case back decoration that’s motivated by the frozen ice of Lake Baikal. A true all-natural piece of artwork which may be seen while the lake starts to suspend during the extremely cold winter weeks of Siberia. The situation back will also come engraved with all the limited edition number of the watch also.
The number of watches, 1,999, has been selected to signify the historic year that Russia adopted the Baikal Law, a law set in place to safeguard the lake.
