Oris - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

My first real mechanical watch! Purchase considered after many comparisons for the purchase of a first watch. My criteria were the price, a possible originality and especially a diver. (the 1000 M of waterproofness was not the desired goal, but they also characterize the watch). The regulator immediately seduced me. Bought second-hand from a private individual in full set (And with a certain apprehension), putting it on the wrist was a shock because this watch is so light and comfortable, all because of the titanium. Add to that the regulator function which is quite rare and which always has its little effect on people who want to read the time on the sly on your watch!, the helium valve, the 1000 m and this beautiful black and red bezel are also pleasant details. We must add an irreproachable manufacturing quality, In addition Oris is a brand with a history, serious and relatively accessible. In short, it remains my watch that I wear most often and the only one with a bearable metal bracelet. Almost a tool watch but be careful, titanium is soft.

This review follows that of my Omega Seamaster 300. Also bought in 2008 for the birth of my son, I hesitated with the Omega Speedmaster moonswatch but not the same price, Oris being better placed in terms of price, I fell back on this model which had caught my eye since I saw it in the store. Thinking back, I tell myself that I should have bought only one, having bought the Seamaster and the Big Crown on the same day in the same store in Switzerland I had the budget for the moonwatch...in short it was necessary to choose so my wife offered me the Seamaster and I treated myself by buying this pretty pilot's watch. It's always a real pleasure to put it on my wrist, it is really atypical with its telemetric scale bezel, it has a very classic side in the composition of the indexes and numbers, the chronograph is always appreciable and functional, to finish I find it really elegant with these cathedral hands and its slightly guilloché dial background, all this gives it a retro look that makes it timeless.

I'm driving my Formula Ford. I arrive at the entrance to the steep slope on the Spa circuit, a quick glance at my Oris ChronOris to know the time I have left before victory ✌️... I raise my head... hard return to reality, I'm at the office and I still have 2 hours of work left. The only consolation is that my Oris chronOris is uncompromising on the time. Its sw200-1 caliber is no joke. To pass the time, I can always look at its orange second hand reminiscent of the needle of speedometers from the 70s/80s. Unless I linger on its black dial, smooth at its ends like the track, or with the central graining that evokes asphalt. The brushed case typical of the seventies, with its polished sides, serves as a rearview mirror, I can see who is coming behind me.... ola it's my boss... At work, but first, let's wash our hands. Damn, I drowned my Oris ChronOris under the tap, phew, luckily it is water-resistant to 100m. The golden hour and minute hand indicates to me on a well-graduated railway that it is almost time to leave. This ChronOris is definitely at home everywhere. On the track, at the office or on the weekend... You will have understood, this watch inspires reverie and an era made of beautiful human conquests.... Small specificity, it is the Movember model, an association working in the field of men's health...
