ON THE WRIST
The limited edition Oris Carl Brashear Chronograph, in bronze.
There aren’t many watches like this one to compare it to,
although the use of gilt accents is a design element we’re
seeing more frequently. The gold or bronze accents aren’t
unique but are well suited to sit next to other chronograph
divers at a competitive price (for instance, alongside the
recent Tudor Black Bay model.)
Under all the bling, the Oris 771 movement, built from
a Sellita SW 510 base, offers an automatic winding with a
48-hour reserve. Its screw-down crown offers water
resistance and allows hand winding.
The design, comfortable brown leather strap with stainless
steel buckle, is a good version for land-lovers who want the
functions and brand. Of course, Oris also offers a stainless-
steel bracelet with folding clasp.
Priced at $4,000 (leather strap) and $4,250 (steel bracelet),
the Diver Sixty-Five chronograph shows that Oris continues to
find the balance between design, function and value.

The watch is also offered
with a steel bracelet.
The vintage chronograph pushers and retro layout direct the wearer to a deep glossy
black dial with two flat-black registers.
