Luxury watchmaker Jacob & Co has unveiled an extraordinary timepiece titled Opera Vantara Green Camo, created as a bespoke tribute to the Vantara Global Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Centre — a flagship wildlife conservation initiative led by Anant Ambani. The watch was revealed on January 21, 2026, and has attracted widespread fascination for its intricate design and symbolic craftsmanship.
A Narrative on the Dial: Figurine, Wildlife and Camouflage
At the centre of the dial sits a hand-painted figurine of Anant Ambani, symbolising his leadership in the Vantara conservation project. Flanking him are exquisitely miniature representations of a lion and a Bengal tiger, two iconic figures of India’s wildlife heritage — tying the timepiece directly to the ethos of stewardship and protection.
Surrounding the central tableau is an elaborate green camouflage motif created from dozens of precious gemstones. Nearly 397 gems totalling around 21.98 carats — including demantoid garnets, tsavorites, green sapphires and white diamonds — are hand-set to give the watch both depth and narrative texture.
Price Tag and Craftsmanship
While Jacob & Co has not publicly confirmed an official price, industry reporting places the watch’s value at approximately $1.5 million — around ₹13 crore — reflecting its rarity, bespoke character and high jewellery components.
Crafted in white gold with a luxurious alligator leather strap, the timepiece merges fine jewellery aesthetics with haute horology and bespoke artistic storytelling — hallmarks of Jacob & Co’s most dramatic creations.
Blending Conservation with Luxury
The Opera Vantara Green Camo watch stands out not just as a symbol of opulence but as a celebration of Vantara’s mission — a sprawling 3,500-acre wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre located in Jamnagar, Gujarat. The centre is known for its advanced veterinary facilities and care for diverse species, and it embodies Anant Ambani’s deep commitment to wildlife preservation.
This timepiece is part of a growing trend within luxury watchmaking where bespoke creations carry personal and cultural narratives, transforming wearable objects into storytelling canvases that extend beyond mere timekeeping.
