Actor Josh Duhamel joined luxury watchmakers Omega at the U.S. premiere of the new documentary Planet Ocean. Duhamel, who narrated the film, joined the manufacture in welcoming guests to the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles for a screening and cocktail part, including Jesse Metcalf, Justin Catwin, Larsa Pippen and director Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
Actor Josh Duhamel joined luxury watchmakers Omega at the U.S. premiere of the new documentary Planet Ocean.
At the premiere, Duhamel said, “This documentary raises crucial issues about our oceans and I’m proud to play a part in it.” Omega, which invented the first diving watch in 1932, has a history of creating timepieces that help explore and enjoy the oceans. With that history in mind, Omega funded Planet Ocean and commissioned acclaimed photographer, filmmaker and environmentalist Arthus-Bertrand and his non-profit organization, GoodPlanet, to create a film with the goal of raising awareness for protecting the oceans. The 90-minute documentary, distributed by Universal, features shots from the world’s leading aerial and underwater cinematographers, oceanographers and biologists.
Arthus-Bertrand, the director, told us, “When OMEGA presented me with the Planet Ocean project, I accepted almost immediately; it was time to look at things directly, to illustrate and to denounce the dangers threatening our oceans and therefore our planet. This documentary is not intended to moralize, but rather to raise consciousness.”
To celebrate the film, Omega has unveiled the limited edition GoodPlanet Planet Ocean, which will launch later later this year. Omega has committed a portion of the proceeds from the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M GoodPlanet to preserve the mangroves and seagrasses in Southeast Asia and educate the local population about conserving these important natural resources.
