Thread: One more Oris - what would it be??

    Default One more Oris - what would it be??

    Okay, so you have an Oris (or two or three etc)...
    If you could have just one more (modern) Oris, what would it be?
    And if you don't have an Oris, what would your one and only Oris be?

    For me, the Williams F1 series has always appealed to me, but I've never been able to quite justify adding one to my collection.
    But, for the sake of a 'what if' thread like this, here's what I would have:



    What can I say, I'm a sucker for blue.... :).

    So how about you?
    The Jazz series? BC3, BC4, Meistertaucher.....??

    Well, I have had an eye on this GMT model:


    Of course there is the classic Titan diver:


    And the Flight Timer looks good too!

    Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the history of the computer industry for the past decade as a massive effort to keep up with Apple.

    Easy! Either the Grand Prix 70 or the Artelier Pointer Date.

    Can you help me fix my watch?..Where does this: go inside this?: I guess that's what I get for buying it on eBay!!!

    That GMT is incredible . I'm still waiting for some lucky WTF member to get one so I can finally see some real world pics and make up my mind whether the orange markers are as good as I hope, or just make it look like a pumpkin on a bracelet....

    AND, do you know what I've just noticed....

    All of the Oris stock photos that we've posted here are at the same time - seven minutes to eight . I've never seen this with other manufacturers photos - they're almost always 10:10.
    Wonder why Oris has chosen this time for it's brochure pics?
    A couple of the photos I could understand, as that time reveals the chrono or small seconds subdials better, but it doesn't make any difference to others (like the Williams F1 I posted).
    Interesting. You'd think the amount of times I've flicked through the Oris catalogues that I would have spotted it before

    Half are 7:53; the other half are 6:53 - but that's still an interesting observation.

    Default One more Oris ...

    It would have to the classic Chronoris in the orange. Something about that '70's chrono look

    Ah ha, I'm not going mad :D. I originally wrote that they were at seven to seven, then I looked at the pics again and changed it to seven to eight, I didn't realise it was actually both.
    Unusual, but never let it be said that Oris follow the pack....
