For fathers with a sense of style, there’s nothing more timeless than the gift of a fine watch.
Solios is a solar-powered watch that combines classic design and eco-responsibility while carrying a clear objective -- creating positive change by promoting sustainability.
The Canadian-made watches are cruelty-free, sustainability-sourced, and built to last for a lifetime. In fact, with its rechargeable battery, the typical expectation of 20 batteries per watch is completely eliminated. The Solios watch can be recharged outside under natural light or indoors with artificial light. For two hours of light, the battery gains six months of power.
The luxurious timepieces come in five styles -- Gamma, Nova, Eclipse, Lux, and Nebula -- with differing case and dial color combinations of black, white, silver, and rose gold. Each watch is made of premium stainless steel and sapphire-coated glass. To change up the look, you can pair the watch with durable and interchangeable straps, with your choice of mesh stainless steel or recyclable eco vegan leather.
For the perfect gift bundle for your father, add a free extra watch strap to your order by using the code ‘ExtraStrap’.
At checkout, you can also turn your 1% donation to The Rainforest Trust into a 5% donation with the code ‘Savetherainforest’. An email will be sent to confirm your increased donation.
