Ocean to Orbit Lhotse WEM 38.5 mm Limited Edition
A limited-edition celebration of community, design and exploration, the Lhotse WEM blends the rugged spirit of the Lhotse line with a refined aesthetic and exclusive touches.
WEM Edition - What Makes It Special
The Lhotse WEM is a collaboration between Ocean to Orbit and Watch Enthusiasts Melbourne (WEM), created to acknowledge and celebrate the support of their local watch community.
- Exclusive run & number - Capped at just 50 individually numbered pieces, making it a collector’s variant within the Lhotse family.
- Striking tuxedo-style dial - This edition features a metallic blue and silver “tuxedo” layout that stands apart from the standard dial options.
- Custom strap included - Ships with a stainless-steel bracelet and a custom ribbed nylon strap designed specifically for this model, enhancing flexibility in style and wear.
Lhotse Highlights
Despite its special status, the WEM retains every core strength of the Lhotse platform:
- Elegant size, everyday wearability - 38.50 mm diameter, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and just 11.50 mm tall make this a balanced and comfortable piece across many wrist sizes.
- Robust mechanical movement - Powered by the Swiss STP 1-21 auto (no date) with ~40 hours reserve, hacking, and smooth 28,800 bph operation.
- Crystal & clarity - Box-dome sapphire with internal AR coating helps reduce glare and maintain crisp visibility even in challenging lighting.
- Durability in real life - 100 m water resistance plus a screw-down crown gives confidence in daily exposure (rain, wash, occasional splash).
- Smart design touches - The fully articulating bracelet features screw-pin links and a push-button clasp with micro-adjustments, making it easy to size for fit and comfort.
Brand & Model Story
From the start, Ocean to Orbit has built watches that tell stories, designed not just as timepieces but as instruments of adventure. The Lhotse model is named for Mount Lhotse - the quiet, less-celebrated neighbor of Everest, and the 4th highest summit in the world - reflecting the brand’s philosophy of striving beyond the obvious.
This particular edition fortifies that narrative. By partnering with WEM, the brand honors the passion of watch lovers who support and advocate for independent watchmaking. The tuxedo-style dial brings a dressy edge, bridging function and form in a way that still aligns with the Lhotse’s explorer ethos.
Why Choose the WEM Edition?
- Collectible appeal - With only 50 made, each piece offers exclusivity.
- Versatility of style - The combination of bracelet + custom nylon strap ensures you can dress it up or down.
- All the performance of the Lhotse - You don’t lose any technical features — just gain character and distinction.
- Narrative & community connection - It’s not just a watch; it’s a nod to enthusiast culture and a shared journey of design and exploration.
