Lōcī’s Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) watch is built for anything an outing on the world’s most iconic road, or anyplace else, can throw at it. Sporty and durable enough to hit the beach, take a swim, even catch a few waves (and wipeouts). Compact and comfortable for a long day behind the wheel and seeing the sights. Relaxed but easily stylish enough for drinks and dinner.

The case features Lōcī’s signature contemporary design language. The dual-layer, blue wave pattern dial evokes the 12,000-foot depths of Monterey Bay.

10% of every PCH watch sale goes to the Surfrider Foundation, a California-based nonprofit dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches for all people.

Why it's worth protecting:

MONTEREY BAY

Few places in the world can match Monterey Bay for the beauty, diversity, and importance of its marine ecosystem. Sea otters tend to steal the show here, but the Bay’s dense kelp forests and nutrient-rich waters make it a haven for everything from microscopic plankton to 50-ton blue whales.

Otters, seals, sea turtles, sharks, sea lions, numerous whale and dolphin species — they’re all here in abundance. When you come to Monterey Bay and see them up close in the wild, something special happens. You suddenly see not just the animal but the entire remarkable and impossibly fragile ecosystem that makes your close encounter possible. It’s a perspective-shifting experience.

Sanctuaries like Monterey Bay don’t happen by chance. Sea otters, a critical or “keystone” species for the entire ecosystem, were hunted to near extinction in the 1800s. The Pacific sardine fishery, for which Monterey was a commercial fishing hub, was effectively wiped out by overfishing in the 1940s. Today the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary protects an area over 6,000 square miles, stretching north to San Francisco’s Golden Gate and south to the town of Cambria.

Monterey Bay is also a living laboratory, providing a unique and critical hub for scientific research. World-class organizations including the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute approach ocean science with a “willingness to think big, be bold, and invest in long-term outcomes.” Work done here delivers insights with global significance for marine life and ecosystems, deep ocean engineering, discovery of new species, and global climate patterns.

Monterey Bay and other marine ecosystems face numerous threats including ocean pollution, oil spills, acidification, overfishing, runoff from coastal development, and warming ocean temperatures. Balancing scientific exploration, economic development, tourism, and conservation efforts in the Bay requires ongoing effort, funding, and cooperation.

By taking action to protect this special place, we do much more than safeguard a rare and beautiful local ecosystem. We help ensure that it continues to serve as a symbol of the interconnectedness of all life, and a model for the sustainable coexistence of human endeavors with the natural world.

Designer's Note:

The darker blue lower layer of the dial represents the deep waters along California’s coast. The dial is inspired by Monterey Bay, home to an underwater canyon that reaches depths over 12,000 feet.

Absolutely beautiful!
Love my Monterey Bay! I met Trip in person at a local watch fair and when I saw it in the metal, it was needed to be in the watch collection. The depth of the dial with the multi layer design + applied indices makes the watch an absolute riot. Can’t wait to see what else Loci does in the following years!

Great Watch, Great Service!
I am so happy I stumbled across Loci watches. The watches all looked great. I went for the Pacific Coast Highway - Surfrider Beach and it really is a quality, standout piece. The watch was internationally shipped out to me quickly and the attention I received from the brand owner was excellent.

Distinctive Designs and Value Alignment
In my opinion, Loci has some of the most unique watch faces around. In a world of generic, lookalike watches, Loci stands out! As a swimmer, I was drawn to Monterey Bay (which I purchased), but all three designs are individually distinctive. Having had the opportunity to see all three models in person before purchasing, the online pictures of the Surfrider Beach dial don't do it justice, as it's super-attractive, especially in daylight. Believe me!
I also gravitated to the brand because Loci aligns with my values for multiple reasons. I appreciate the fact that they're designed and assembled in the USA, plus the partnership with the Surfrider Foundation should resonate with all water lovers.
