Maurice Lacroix introduced the AIKON #tide in Miami on March 18, 2022, in partnership with ocean-materials company #tide. The companies say the watch and its packaging use material made from ocean-bound upcycled plastic; #tide identifies six watch components that contain its ocean material.
What is the Maurice Lacroix AIKON #tide made of?
#tide’s March 2022 launch account identifies the bezel, case, case back, crown, end-piece and buckle as containing #tide ocean material. The companies describe the source material as ocean-bound plastic that has been collected and upcycled. This is a materials claim about specified components, not a claim that every part of the watch is plastic or made from recycled material.
The companies also say the collection’s packaging uses #tide ocean material. #tide described the presentation as including an OceanMug and OceanBag. These material and packaging descriptions come from Maurice Lacroix and its partner; the cited accounts do not establish an independent audit of the claims.
How many bottles go into one AIKON #tide?
Maurice Lacroix and #tide state that 17 bottles are used to make one watch and its tailored packaging. The figure is a company- and partner-reported claim, not an independently verified count in the cited sources.

A dated progress update
In an October 17, 2023 update, Maurice Lacroix reported that more than 7 million bottles had been gathered after about one and a half years of the three-year effort. That is a historical company-reported interim figure; it should not be read as the final result or as a current total.
