Split Watches Unveil Tribute Watch To Ozzy Osbourne

Split Watches have announced the global release of the official Ozzy Osbourne Tribute Watch.

This 50-piece limited-edition run celebrates the rock legend’s enduring cultural legacy and is priced at £2,350 (U.K), and $2,960 (U.S), with 100% of the proceeds being donated to MusiCares®, the nonprofit partner of the Recording Academy and leading charity supporting the health and well-being of the music community.

“This watch represents something very meaningful–Ozzy always said, ‘Time is the most precious thing in the world.  Be very careful not to waste it. We’re delighted that Split Watches created such a thoughtful piece that truly captures Ozzy’s spirit.  The fact that they’re donating the proceeds to MusiCares, an organisation that my husband and I have admired and supported for many years, is just fantastic.  The money raised is a great way for us to continue to support MusiCares and the music community.”

Ozzy’s groundbreaking work via his solo career and as a member of Black Sabbath shaped hard rock for generations. For the Split founders, both lifelong fans of Sabbath and Ozzy, his impact goes far beyond the music.

The Ozzy is based on Split’s MC collection that features a revolutionary Seiko family automatic chronograph. Using the most advanced modern materials, the watch is intentionally designed to be unpolished and stripped back.  It features the rock legend’s iconic purple tinted glasses on the sub dials and his cross at 12 o’clock. Each piece is meticulously hand painted and Ozzy’s logo can be seen on the rotor through Split’s exhibition case back.

“What Ozzy stood for is deeply ingrained in what we stand for and evident in every expression of the brand – he never pretended to be anything other than who he was. He was raw and human. No borrowed playbook, no ego, he pushed boundaries.”

All proceeds from The Ozzy will support MusiCares, which provides critical health services, financial assistance, and mental health support to music professionals. MusiCares helps the humans behind the music because music gives so much to the world.  The collaboration reflects a belief that objects we choose should carry meaning.
