The epic plane wreck on the black beach in South Iceland. The year was 1973 when a United States Navy DC plane crashed on the black beach at Sólheimasandur, in the South Coast of Iceland. Despite running out of fuel, the passengers and crew of the plane were fortunate enough to survive. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the pilot had simply switched to the wrong fuel tank. To this day, the plane's remains can still be seen on the sand, a testament to the power of human perseverance.
Inspired by this plane wreck, a watch has been designed to bring to life some of the features of this aircraft. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we have the strength to rise above and create something beautiful.
Ricky Lam, the talented watch designer, embarked on a journey to South Iceland nine months ago. It was during this trip that he was struck by a moment of inspiration that set his creative juices flowing. He was so captivated by the natural beauty and stunning landscapes of the region that he felt compelled to sketch out his vision for a new watch design. Over the next few months, Ricky worked tirelessly to bring his vision to life, pouring his heart and soul into every detail of the design. Finally, after months of hard work, the watch was ready for production. Today, OVD are proud to offer this stunning timepiece to their discerning customers who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into its creation.
