pampered
on the open sea

but
of watches for men.

Hi Marius,

I have found in teh dictionary ( OAL's) that it is ''in the sea''. Is the sentence otherwise clear?

 

The company Nautica pampered its clients all over the world who are passionate about sailing, boats and the time spent in the open sea with its collections of watches for men
