Oris
Oris has partnered with the Williams Formula One team since
2003 and have used this partnership to inspire a series of contemporary sport watches that highlight this partnership. The
new Oris Williams Engine, Date moves the collection down the
track with a 42 mm multi-part case in brushed and polished
steel. From the front a deep dial offers dimension and a semi
skeleton dial offers a glimpse of what lies under the hood. The
“Engine, Date” is of course powered by a Swiss Made movement inside the 42 mm, 10atm rated stainless steel case. In
this instance the upgraded Sellita SW200-1 is the power plant
of choice and visible through the back. Once this new Oris
arrives on our shores you can expect a retail price around
$1,650 for this race inspired wristwear.
Bernhart
Bernhardt first introduced the Globemaster in 2006 in a series
of 500 watches that quickly sold out. The new Globemaster
ll dual time is now available in another limited series of 500
pieces in four variations: Blue & orange, black & black, green
& black and blue & black bezels options are paired with matching dials. This basic sport design is enhanced by the knowledge that this small American-based brand pays particular
attention to finished quality and takes excellent and personal
care of their customers. The 42mm cases are rated to 20 atm
and protect a modified ETA 2836 automatic Swiss movement
within. Retail price is $674 – while they last.
