Mineral Ocean Women's Watch by Obaku

The Mineral Ocean Women's Watch by Obaku pairs a 24mm rose gold-tone case with a rich blue dial that mimics the texture of natural stone. A single diamond at the 12 o’clock mark offers a subtle highlight, while slim gold-tone hands complete the dial's clean layout. Finished with a blue stainless steel mesh strap (14x12mm) and protected by extra-hardened mineral crystal, the watch is water resistant to 3 ATM and powered by a minimalist two-hand movement. Delicate yet expressive, this watch draws the eye with its dial’s deep, mineral-like surface—evoking the calm complexity of the ocean floor. The interplay of rose gold and cool blue feels modern and poetic, with just enough shimmer to elevate the everyday.

Nature’s Influence in Watch Design: From Art Nouveau to Today

Nature has long shaped the world of watchmaking—not just as a source of beauty, but as a symbol of movement, time, and transformation. In the late 19th century, Art Nouveau designers embraced organic forms like vines, flowers, and insects, often rendered in flowing lines and intricate enamel work. Watchmakers during this era created pieces that blurred the line between jewelry and function, celebrating the rhythms of the natural world

. Art Deco brought a more geometric take in the 1920s and ’30s, abstracting nature into bold, stylized forms. Materials like coral, lapis lazuli, and onyx were favored for their color and symbolism, often paired with platinum and diamonds. The Mineral Ocean continues this legacy with a modern perspective—its dial mimics the depth and texture of natural stone, grounded in rich blue tones that evoke earth and sea. It’s a quiet nod to the past, filtered through contemporary Scandinavian minimalism.
