First Look – The Cool Oris Carl Brashear Chronograph Limited Edition Bronze

One of the coolest bronze dive watches just received a new sibling, perhaps an even cooler bronze diving chronograph. For 2018 Oris introduces a new Limited Edition based on the original Carl Brashear commemorative watch from two years ago, and now adds a chronograph to the mix. We’ve already given you a short rundown of the watch, but now we had time to go hands-on with the Oris Carl Brashear Chronograph Limited Edition Bronze during Baselworld 2018.

Baselworld 2018 – The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, now in Steel with 36mm or 40mm case sizes

While we’ve already presented you the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date in bronze with a 36mm case, this is not the only new version of this watch that Oris is introducing at Baselworld 2018. Indeed, alongside the bronze edition, Oris will also add some steel versions of the Pointer Date watch, this time available in 40mm and 36mm, as well as with steel bracelets or leather straps – and again with an unbeatable quality/price ratio. Overview.

Baselworld 2018 – Oris Big Crown ProPilot Alarm Limited Edition

An alarm is often loud, obtrusive and annoying, simply to remind you to do something at a specific point in the day. Whether it is waking you up, brushing your teeth, leaving home in time for the bus, or simply checking if you’ve won that superb vintage watch during an online auction. There are watches, however, that exchange this loud, obtrusive annoying interruption into a mechanical wonder, just like this Oris Big Crown ProPilot Alarm Limited Edition, set to be introduced during Baselworld 2018.

Baselworld 2018 – The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, in Bronze and with 36mm Case

It is not the first time that Oris uses bronze to craft the case of its watches. We’ve seen it already twice on the highly coveted Carl Brashear editions – both the 3-hander and the chronograph. Yet, for Baselworld 2018, the brand will make this material standard, as one of their timepieces, the very nice Big Crown Pointer Date will be offered in bronze in a non-limited edition. And that’s not the only good news… Think smaller diameter! Meet the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bronze 36mm.

Introducing – Oris ‘Source of Life’ Limited Edition – Based on a new Aquis Circular Date

Oris is a frequent contributor to the limited editions. The Clipperton Limited Edition, the Movember Edition, the Royal Flying Doctor Service Edition… Yet, many of these special watches are linked to a good cause or a mission to bring “change for the better”. Oris continues its mission with a new limited edition of the praised Aquis, the ‘Source of Life’ Edition, a watch that celebrates water (the source of life…) – and good news is that it is based on a new version of this cool dive watch, now with circular date feature.

Oris Carl Brashear Chronograph Limited Edition Bronze Watch

2 years ago, Oris presented the first Carl Brashear Limited Edition, a bronze vintage-inspired dive watch with a lovely contrasting blue dial. No need to say, it was an instant hit. The watch went sold-out quickly and pleased collectors. Today, we have the second edition. Using the same bronze/blue dial combination, still based on the Divers Sixty Five, this time the brand adds an unprecedented complication to this collection. Meet the Oris Carl Brashear Chronograph Limited Edition.

Oris Chronoris Williams 40th Anniversary Limited Edition

I always have a little bit of a tough time stomaching car, football club or otherwise branded Limited Edition or commemorative timepieces. Some try way too hard to get across what they are, other than a standard series watch with often little more than a few details that have nothing to do with watchmaking. Don’t get me wrong, there are examples that come out just right in my book, and yes it is of course highly personal, as is everything when it comes to preferences. One of those watches that seems to hit the proverbial nail on the head for me is the recently introduced Oris Chronoris Williams 40th Anniversary Limited Edition.

Introducing – Oris GMT Rega Limited Edition

Last year, Oris introduced their first watch made in partnership with Rega, a private, non-profit air rescue service that provides emergency medical assistance in Switzerland. Based on the powerful and unique Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, we even tested it right where it should be, in the Swiss mountains. Today, Oris presents the Oris GMT Rega Limited Edition, the second watch made in support of the partnership with Rega – and still a powerful, tool-ish purpose built-watch.
