Omega is proud to announce its involvement in “Time for the Planet“, an initiative that includes two environmental conservation projects on Tanakeke Island and in Bahoi in Indonesia.
In partnership with Yann Arthus-Bertrand and the GoodPlanet Foundation, the brand is taking steps to protect our oceans and underwater ecosystems and to help the people that rely on them the most by funding two three-year projects focused on educating the local communities, managing the regions’ natural heritage and creating protected marine areas.

In 2012, Omega produced an award-winning documentary titled Planet Ocean.
The 90-minute film was directed by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot and, after making its debut at the Rio+20 Earth Summit, it was shown to audiences at exclusive Omega-hosted events all around the world, including a special screening at the United Nations in New York.
In addition to these viewings, public Planet Ocean exhibitions were set up in four major cities in order to share with a wider audience the beauty of our oceans, the dangers they face and what we can all do to help save them.

“We are proud to be a part of these remarkable projects and to have supported a film that shows how we can all help contribute to the health of the oceans, the source of all life on Earth.” Stephen Urquhart, President of Omega

Now Omega has begun the next step in its environmental conservation endeavours by taking action.

“When Omega asked me how it could be involved [in Indonesia], GoodPlanet and I were overjoyed because it meant our project would go ahead and that we could put into practice what we had planned to do,” Yann Arthus-Bertrand says of Omega’s involvement in “Time for the Planet”.
