Swiss-American luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co has designed a one-of-a-kind watch called the Opera Vantara Green Camo for Anant Ambani, celebrating his wildlife conservation project, Vantara. Launched on January 21, 2026, the watch combines expert watchmaking with artistic design inspired by India’s wildlife.
The watch highlights Anant Ambani at its centre with a hand-painted miniature figurine. Surrounding him are small sculptures of a lion and a Bengal tiger, symbolising India’s iconic wildlife. Even the watch hands emerge from an elephant motif, reinforcing the conservation theme.
Its dial and case feature a green camouflage design made from precious gemstones, including demantoid garnets, tsavorites, green sapphires, and diamonds. In total, the watch has nearly 400 gems weighing about 22 carats, all hand-set to create a rich, textured look.
Though Jacob & Co has not officially revealed the price, industry reports suggest the watch could be worth around $1.5 million (₹12–13 crore), making it one of the most luxurious custom watches ever created by the brand.
Anant Ambani is known for his passion for rare and limited-edition watches. This bespoke piece not only reflects his personal style but also supports awareness for the Vantara Wildlife Conservation Centre, a large project in Gujarat that rescues and protects various animal species.
