Oris Carl Brashear – a limited Edition of 2,000 pieces in bronze

http://www.watch-insider.com/news/oris- ... cbe2111105

Oris introduces its very first bronze (diving) watch remembering the extraordinary life of Carl Brashear. He was the U.S. Navy’s first African American master diver.

the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition is based on Oris’s Divers Sixty-Five, a watch I also like very, very much.

The Carl Brashear Limited Edition is the first Oris watch to be made in bronze, a naturally aging material used in deep-sea diving helmets of the 1950s. As already mentioned above it takes its aesthetic from the Divers Sixty-Five, but at 42 mm in diameter.

Bronze is initially bright and shiny, and then darkens as its copper content reacts with carbon dioxide and moisture. So in contrary to other bronze watches this is a natural bronze and not a treated one that will never change its look. How boring is the latter!

The Oris diver will have its unique relationship with its owner! This means that each of the limited run of 2,000 pieces will develop a unique patina over time and start to look better and better …

Nu prea sunt amator de ceasuri din bronz, dar in cazul asta pot intelege datorita legaturii cu Carl Brashear.
Dupa succesul pe care l-au avut cu Diver 65, era si pacat sa nu profite cu o editie limitata care probabil o sa se vanda ca painea calda.
Mi se pare foarte reusita editia, atat ca realizare a ceasului cat si ca tema amintita. Capacul spate arata extraordinar de bine si mi-ar placea sa il am impreuna cu o varianta in otel.

Sincer sa fiu nu inteleg ce ar putea entuziasma la un asemenea ceas. O carcasa care cocleste, un design demonetizat si o rezistenta pana la 10 bar?
Macar de ar fi avut o legatura cat de mica (cel putin ca design) cu ceasurile folosite in epoca lui Brashear dar nici vorba:

Nu trebuie sa intelegem toti aceleasi lucruri, nu? Nici macar in Coreea de Nord nu le iese mereu asta...
Unii cand tin Rolex in mana, se crapa cerul si coboara un cor de ingeri deasupra lor. Mie in schimb, mi se par de multe ori chiar urate.
Lumea cere carcase de bronz si privesc "cocleala" drept "patina", ar fi culmea ca producatorii de ceasuri sa nu vina in intampinarea cererii. Nici mie nu-mi place, dar asta e, lumea e variata.

Intru totul de acord.
Interesant e ca purtarea unui asemenea ceas implica si o anumita doza de masochism. Nu numai ca "patina" lasa in contact cu transpiratia urme pe mana dar mai si miroase neplacut. Dar gusturile nu se discuta.

Macar asta are capacul de inox, dar intr-adevar la cele cu capac de bronz cred ca e sublim.

Se poate pune urmatoarea intrebare : care este legatura intre acest model de Oris is Mr. Carl Brasher ? A purtat el vreun Oris ? Sau a fost fan Oris ?
Si de ce numai 100m ?

Ca altfel, este un ceas de bronz , cu capacul din spate de otel ( nu e rau ! ) si cu Selita W200. Cam atit. Probabil ca se gasesc ceasuri din bronz mult mai ieftine.


Toate cele bune
