A watch may be a small accessory, but the right one can say a lot. Some tell time. Others tell stories. The Opera Vantara Green Camo, the newest invention from Jacob & Co., accomplishes both while raising awareness of wildlife conservation. This one-of-a-kind watch was created specifically for Anant Ambani. It was inspired by his ambitious wildlife rescue and conservation project, Vantara, based in Gujarat.
Jacob & Co Creates A Vantara Watch For Anant Ambani
Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh and Nita Ambani, is a well-known luxury watch collector. Now, one of the world’s most celebrated luxury watchmakers has returned the gesture by creating a watch inspired by his vision. The Opera Vantara Green Camo is designed like a miniature world on the wrist.
Inspired by wildlife and the natural world, the dial opens up like a lush landscape. In the middle is a hand-painted figurine of Anant Ambani that stands for responsibility and environmental concern. He is surrounded by exquisitely painted representations of a Bengal tiger and a lion.
The watch feels more like a work of art than a timepiece because each element on the dial has a purpose. What looks like green camouflage is actually an intricate arrangement of valuable gemstones. The entire dial is built stone by stone, with each gem carefully selected, cut, and set by hand to provide depth and movement.
White diamonds offer structure, contrast, and sparkle; Tsavorites add rich, intense green tones; Demantoid garnets add bright, electric green flashes; and Green sapphires add subtle variation and balance. The watch has 397 gemstones total, weighing a total of 21.98 carats.

A Million-Dollar Watch With A Mission
Jacob & Co describes the Opera Vantara Green Camo as a “horological ode,” and that feels accurate. This watch isn’t just about precision engineering or visual drama. It’s all about telling stories. It involves wearing a wristwatch as a reminder to be mindful of wildlife conservation, responsibility, and respect.
While most luxury goods are all about extravagance and price tags, this masterpiece stands out for its purpose. The Opera Vantara Green Camo is a great example of the importance of fine watchmaking. It’s an amazing timepiece that expertly blends artistry, moral principles, and a motivational goal.
This handcrafted watch not only tells the time but also makes a lasting impression.
