Last June 8, marked the World Oceans Day. According to the United Nations, this day’s purpose is to “inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans.“
To mark this year’s celebration, the partnership between Marine Conservations Philippines or MCP, a Non-Government Organization based in Central Visayas, Philippines and Aquinus Watches, produced a hundred watches as a limited edition for its MCP2019 collection.
The MCP2019 watch brand is part of Aquinus Watches’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.
