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 or taking in the sights. Relaxed but easily stylish enough for drinks and dinner at the end of the day.

The case features Lōcī’s signature contemporary design language, a bold mix of straight and curved lines combining both mirror-polished and carefully brushed surfaces. The dual-layer, matte textured dial is inspired by the subtle color range of sand on Surfrider Beach — from almost white to a dark tan hue representing the wet sand where the beach meets the water. "Pacific Coast Highway" is printed in the same font you'll see on California's road signs.

Powering the watch is a reliable Swiss-made Ronda 715 quartz movement, precision-manufactured for high accuracy and durability.

Your PCH watch does much more than just tell the time. 10% of every PCH sale goes to the Surfrider Foundation, a California-based nonprofit dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches — the same places that inspired this watch.

So...Are you ready to hit the road?

Why it's worth protecting:

SURFRIDER BEACH

Surfrider Beach is one of the original epicenters of the surfing-obsessed, beach-life vibe that put Southern California on the world’s cultural map. The stories, movies, and surfing legends these places inspired globalized the California Dream — an idyllic, egalitarian utopia at the far edge of the continent where dreams lie within reach and summer never ends.

It all started back in the 1950s and ‘60s on this hallowed strip of sand between the Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean in Malibu. Then and now, Surfrider Beach brings together everyone from young groms catching their first waves to some of pro surfing’s all-time greats. There are salty locals, weekend warriors and wave-seeking pilgrims from around the world here. It’s a community united by their love of sea, sand, and the California sun.

Surfrider Beach was dedicated as the first World Surfing Reserve in 2010 and is part of the Malibu Lagoon California State Park established in 1951. In addition to the sandy beach and ideal waves, the lagoon’s rare saltwater marsh ecosystem supports hundreds of bird and plant species.

The area’s dry climate and steep topography bring threats familiar to much of the California coast, including coastal erosion, mudslides, flash floods, and formerly rare coastal wildfires. These risks are exacerbated by climate change, which drives more frequent and severe rainstorms and periods of intense drought. Threats to the marine ecosystem are also present, including ocean pollution, oil spills, and runoff from coastal development.

The California surfing and beach lifestyles of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s were more than just superficial popular culture phenomena — they also helped power a countercultural movement. These communities and their standard bearers were at the forefront of the early environmentalist efforts in America.

A keen awareness of Surfrider Beach’s vulnerabilities made it the birthplace and namesake of the Surfrider Foundation, a leading-edge environmental organization created here in 1984. Now with thousands of volunteers dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s oceans, waves, and beaches for all people, it’s grown into a non-profit with national impact. The Surfrider Foundation receives 10% of all sales from every Lōcī PCH watch.

By taking action to protect this special place, we can help ensure it continues to bring together future generations of surfers, swimmers, beachgoers and everyone who respects and reveres the ocean and beaches.

Designer's Note:

Take this watch outside! Indoor lighting doesn’t always bring out the dial’s sandy tans and browns, but they come alive in natural light. The design was made by taking a photo of the beach where the sand meets the water, creating different shades and streaks from nearly white to dark brown. This image was then spun 360 degrees to form the sunburst-like pattern.
