Comments

The Canadian Arctic is a place of superb extremes, home to some of the world's most fascinating animals, such as the mighty polar bear. Our latest innovation, multidimensional coloring, creates the illusion of true water immersion on the reverse. Offering a double perspective to the 3D effect, the motif shows a mother bear diving with one of her cubs while the other watches from the engraved surface.

Dive into three-dimensional waters with this colorful tribute to the Far North.
