Oris unveils its new Calibre 400, a powerful automatic movement with a five-day power reserve and an impressive 10-year warranty. The mandates were for a high-performance and anti-magnetic movement to keep pace with consumers’ lifestyles for longer periods of time.

For some years now, Oris has committed to becoming a watchmaker that can “Change for the Better” (the brand’s new motto). In addition to create some rather cool and fairly-priced watches, the brand is also greatly involved in charity, with multiple non-profit organisations and foundations to help save the planet and the oceans (among other things). Think Carysfort Reef Limited Edition, the Ocean Trilogy or the Aquis Lake Baikal. Recently, Oris announced a new partnership with the Roberto Clemente Foundation, a humanitarian organisation named in honour of baseball player Roberto Clemente. And linked to this, there’s a watch, and a pretty nice one! Let’s have a closer look at the Oris Roberto Clemente Limited Edition.

The bang-for-buck philosophy, […]
Oris has an ongoing commitment to environmental conservation with a focus on cleaning the world’s waterways. Awareness and money have been raised over the years via partnerships with the Clean Water project, Reef Restoration Foundation, Coral Restoration Foundation and other non-profits, and limited edition Aquis dive watches complement these efforts. Previous models include the Clean […]
Bronze, one of the first alloys concocted by man, has been used to centuries. This durable metal is known for a wide range of uses including for crafting watches that stand out with their vintage appeal and golden-brown hue. However, all that glitters is not gold! Strong and tough, it is often used to craft […]
The figures speak for themselves: over the last 30 years, scientists calculate that 50% of the world’s coral reefs have died and without direct action could be extinct in 80 years. Coral reefs are now the most endangered ecosystems on the planet and their extinction would mark the first time humanity has faced the loss […]
Today Oris unveils a new, quite striking and original watch, a solid bronze piece in a limited run of 250 pieces, designed to pay tribute to Hölstein, the village where Oris was founded in 1904. An all-bronze version of the Divers Sixty-Five chronograph, it is the first watch made in Switzerland to feature a solid […]
