N E W M o d e l - Oris Tubbataha Regulator Diver



Limited Edition of 2,000 Pieces

Oris created this unique divers watch with an Oris regulator movement to support the Tubbataha Reefs National Park in the Philippines. A percentage of every Oris Tubbataha Limited Edition model sold is donated towards the conservation of the reef and its astonishing diversity of marine life.

Rising from the volcanic depths of the Sulu Sea in the Western Philippines, Tubbataha Reefs National Park is home to some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world. These magnificent atolls support an unparalleled variety of marine creatures. Colourful reef fish crowd corals growing in the shallows while sharks and pelagic fish haunt the steep drop-offs to the open sea.

The case, in titanium, measures 47mm. It has a sapphire crystal and is water resistant to 500 meters. It features a Helium escape valve and a blue ceramic bezel inlay.

The motif on the back of the Oris Tubbataha Limited Edition displays a shark, paying homage to the endangered marine creatures, which live in the Tubbataha Reefs.



Movement is the Swiss automatic Oris caliber 749 (base Sellita SW220) with regulator complication.

Thanks.

Oris Artix GT Chronograph

The Oris Artix GT Chronograph is the latest addition to build on Oris’ motor sports heritage. The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, with chronograph function and date.
The two-piece dial, with a matt black dial ring and a Tachymeter scale, is assembled in the case with both minute and hour counters, along with applied indexes.
Perhaps the most interesting and novel feature is the retrograde mechanism, which allows the small seconds to build like the RPM counter in a racing car.



The watch features a multi-piece stainless steel 44mm case and the the bezel features a black ceramic minute scale and a rubber coated profile on the outside for grip.



The watch is powered by the Swiss automatic ETA calibre Valjoux 7750, seconds and hours are at 12 and 6 o’clock and the special, smaller seconds RPM style display is at 9 o’clock. Turn the watch over and you can see all the gear trains in action through the skeleton case back.



The polished nickel hands are finished with Superluminova inlay, which stands out against the dark backdrop of the watch.
Water-resistant to 100m, the Oris Artix GT Chronograph comes on a rubber strap with folding clasp, a fine balance between sport and elegance, designed as a versatile timepiece for business or leisure.

Oris Complicates Things: The New Artix GT Chrono and Atelier Regulator

Oris is a brand that, for whatever reason, we seem to have not talked about enough here on worn&wound. Their line, which range from picture perfect pilot’s models to serious divers to elegant dress watches, not only have unique and memorable designs, they maintain a relatively achievable price-point. That is to say, they aren’t watches you buy on whim, ranging in the $800 to $3,000 range, but they are not in the realm of watches you only dream about. Considering their slogan, “Real Watches for Real People”, they seem to have a brand philosophy we find agreeable. Anyway, they recently announced the release of two new and very interesting additions to their vast line of mechanical watches.

First, there is the über sporty Artix GT Chronograph. Often, I find racing and car inspired watches take a wrong turn into ostentation by bringing too many elements of vehicles into their design. Well, that is far from the case with the Artix GT. This 44mm Valjoux 7750 powered chrono has the stripped down styling of a concept car with too much power under the hood. It’s sharp, austere and downright mean looking. The GT features an all black dial, black ceramic bezel with a rubberized edge, nickel-plated hands and a brushed stainless body, making for an aggressive and contemporary design. Offsetting the monochromatic slickness are two restrained instances of red: a triangle marking 60/0 on the bezel and the readout of the linear retrograde seconds dial.

Yes, linear retrograde seconds dial. This subtle feature takes this stealthy chronograph from to downright lust worthy as it has taken a fairly common movement and added something unique that you wont find elsewhere. Furthermore, it is in details like this where you see the philosophy and value of the brand shine through. So, basically, at 9, instead of the standards small seconds dial, there is a small line that fills in red as the minute passes. When it hits 60, it snaps back to zero and starts over, hence retrograde. Despite being a unique detail, this creates a more symmetrical dial, with the majority of visual weight running down the center. This adds to the overall streamlined design and reduces distraction from the chronograph function.



Secondly is the addition of a new regulator model to their Atelier line. The 40.5mm polished stainless watch has a pleasant contrast between sporty elegance and vintage dress. Featuring a strong case design, clear indexes, applied triangular steel markers (giving it that 60’s appeal) and lumed hands, which offset the delicately guilloched silver dial. The looks of this watch, despite the regulator complication and guilloche dial, manage to lack pretention and have an everyday quality. That is to say, the design of this watch is very versatile and would compliment a suit or a pair of well-worn jeans.

The watch is powered by an Oris Cal. 749 automatic regulator movement, which has a Selitta 220 as a base. I happen to be a devote fan of regulators as I find the added sub-dials visually appealing and the decentralized hours create a very easy to read at-a-glance dial. The horizontal arrangement, from 3 to 9, of the dials is somewhat atypical for a regulator, setting the Atelier apart from others in the category. Regardless, for a watch this style, which has clear 60’s trappings, the regulator complication is very unexpected and undoubtedly works very well. The watch also features a domed sapphire crystal and sapphire display case back, so you can see the signature red Oris rotor.



Clearly Oris is maintaining a high level of design, both mechanically and aesthetically with these new offerings. I can’t help but be excited by a brand with the level of exposure, distribution and history that they have that still takes risks on their designs. No word on the specific pricing of these two watches, but given their respective details I’d put them in the 2 – 3k range.
