So it narrows the possibility of adding your own favorite non-factory strap to the Oris bronze watch.
On the one hand it doesn’t matter much, on the other hand, you will find most third party straps available in 20mm (or at least in even numbers). The designers in Hölstein (where Oris resides) decided to use a lug-width of 21mm for the Oris bronze watch.
And vintage inspired re-editions of course. 42mm seems to be the somewhat more accepted standard for sports watches, whereas 40mm can be found in modern dress watches as well. Slightly bigger, but it makes quite a difference. Introduced as a 40mm watch in 2015, the Oris bronze watch is only available in 42mm. Normally I end a review with the specifications of a watch, but since we already have an in-depth Divers Sixty-Five review, let’s focus on different things here. Oris Bronze Watch Specifications Bigger than the Divers Sixty-Five I had the watch for quite some time, being able to witness the discoloration of the case. The Oris bronze watch that I received was already worn a bit, and had some patina already. Some of the Panerai ‘Bronzo’ PAM00382 watches have turned completely green. Watch collectors love patina, so it was only a matter of time before bronze watches would become more common. The patina layer that will appear on bronze protects the material basically. It will age immediately when it touches moisture or water. The Oris Divers Sixty-Five review can be found here.Īs you know, bronze has an interesting property, or feature. In case of the Oris, the bronze Carl Brashear Limited Edition is based on last year’s successful Divers Sixty-Five watch. Both watches are bronze interpretation of existing models. This year, Oris and Tudor introduced their bronze watches in BaselWorld. But it didn’t unleash the hype like Panerai ‘Bronzo’ did. I know that Genta designed one way before, and Bvlgari did so again with their Gérald Genta Gefica BiRetro Safari. Without further ado, here is my Oris bronze watch review.īronze is trending. Panerai set the trend with their ‘Bronzo’ (Luminor Submersible Ref.
I like the watch from the moment I saw it in the flesh during a preview of Oris’ BaselWorld novelties in Zermatt. Or better yet, that it would have add value to the Oris bronze watch for me, personally. I also doubt if the story, to which I will come back later, would have impact on my decision whether to like this watch, or not. To be honest, I’d never heard about Carl Brashear before and did not see the Men of Honor movie. Oris Bronze Watch – Carl Brashear Limited Edition
