Respect for the environment is becoming an ever-greater concern each day, and we have a duty to respect and preserve it. It is in this spirit that Quiksilver’s
Ray watch has been created.

‘Ecologically designed’ it meets a rigorous set of specifications:
-Use of renewable, recycled or recyclable materials (wood, anti-allergy stainless steel, aluminium, mineral glass, solvent-free inks used for the face of the watch)
-Assembled by hand
-Packaging and user manual made entirely of recyclable cardboard and paper, hand-folded without using glue.
-Reduction of energy consumption and use of renewable energy
-Reduction of waste (through a study into the ratio between the weight and size of the products and their packaging)
-Use of less polluting means of transport (transport by ship instead of by air reduces CO2 emissions by 80%)

The model is of course numbered and manufactured in a limited edition, only 1000 items will be distributed worldwide.
And it has a pretty extraordinary look too!! We like.
