Discover elegance with purpose. The Lhotse is a nod to expedition watches of old, infused with modern precision and robustness.
Engineered for real life, designed to tell a story
Every Ocean to Orbit watch is conceived with a narrative in mind. Founders David Dewitt and Siddhartha Kazami, both former automotive designers, launched the brand from Melbourne in late 2020. Their vision: to create mechanical timepieces that combine daily practicality with the spirit of exploration.
The first model - the Lhotse - is named after the world’s fourth-highest peak, echoing the brand’s ambition to craft watches that work as well in extreme environments as they do in everyday settings. In fact, a prototype Lhotse accompanied Nepali mountaineer Purnima Shrestha to high-altitude climbs, validating the design’s resilience under harsh conditions.
Heritage Steel Version - What Sets It Apart
While the Lhotse platform offers a common foundation of strength and wearability, the Heritage Steel stands out with subtle vintage flair and warm detailing - ideal for those who want a bit of personality without compromising utility.
-
Gilt accents for character
The applied indices, hands, and minute track are accented in warm gilt tones. This antique-style contrast adds visual depth while preserving legibility—especially under changing lighting. -
Proportions built for comfort
At 38.50 mm diameter, 47 mm lug-to-lug, and just ~11.50 mm in height, the Heritage Steel maintains the Lhotse’s balanced dimensions, allowing it to wear comfortably on most wrists without feeling bulky. -
Swiss mechanical heart
Under the hood is the Swiss-made STP 1-21 automatic movement (no date), delivering ~40 hours of reserve, smooth 4 Hz operation, hacking, and manual winding. This clean, no-date layout gives the dial a symmetrical, uncluttered appearance. -
Durability in daily use
With 100 m water resistance, screw-down crown, and a domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating, this version is ready for rain, splash, or everyday wear.
The case’s brushed surfaces, soft chamfers, and polished bevels strike a balance between ruggedness and sophistication. -
Versatility in styling
The Heritage Steel model ships on a 316L stainless steel bracelet (screw-pin links, micro-adjustments) and pairs compatibly with straps. This allows you to switch between formal and sportier looks with zero compromise. -
Distinctive hands that tell a story
Rather than generic hands, the Lhotse uses a signature design: the hour hand evokes a rocket, the minute a fuel capsule, and the second hand / counterbalance a re-entry module — subtle cues tying back to the Ocean-to-Orbit ethos.
Why Choose the Heritage Steel?
-
Character without compromise
The gilt detailing adds warmth and vintage inspiration without sacrificing legibility or performance. -
Fully capable in real-world use
Water resistant, sapphire crystal, robust case architecture — this is a watch meant to travel with you. -
Designed from experience
With founders from automotive design backgrounds, every curve, bevel, and proportion is intentional - the Heritage Steel expresses a refined execution of the Lhotse identity. -
A watch with a story
This isn’t just another watch - it’s part of the Ocean to Orbit journey, where design, performance and narrative intersect.
