Wearing my Blue Coral Monster because it is one of my fave fours. This is a very clean and well executed offering from Oris. Really like the rifled fluting on the bezel and the dial is very tasteful with minimal clutter. I'm looking forward to see what Oris does next.

Thank you for reviewing this one. I am looking to purchase a new sports watch and this is one the options.

The angular case and turbine bezel give quite a cool vibe. Add the power reserve, long warranty, and titanium... that's one well-designed watch.

Always loved oris....pretty cool watch, I prefer the grey dial

[davidc]

I like the dial color but would have preferred applied indices rather than printed ones, which don't hold up well under your macro lens.

[markhellie]

That is a very salmon dial. Cool watch!

My AD just got this watch and I tried it on... I'm a huge Oris fan don't get me wrong but the watch is underwhelming in person. First, I'm not a titanium guy, it scratches like butter and just doesn't have the weight to at least in my mind feel like luxury. But sticking point for me is the dial, its just very ho-hum. And I love salmon dials, but this one is just meh. I know Oris, I just went to an Oris event and I know they are going to do some more dials, that's what I'm waiting for.
Also please allow me to offer some constructive criticism: you know when you travel and you get to your hotel room, turn on the TV and there's a program on talking about all the local attractions and things you can do? This reminds me of that, with the music and backgrounds; maybe that's what you're going for, I have no idea. My advice is humanize this thing, drop the music, weird backgrounds and get in front of the camera. It'd be a little less salesy/ preachy.
