Oris Carl Brashear L.E. Calibre 401 Automatic

It’s with great pride that Oris introduces the Oris Carl Brashear Cal. 401 Limited Edition, created in support of the Carl Brashear Foundation. The company is delighted that this special watch, which is limited to 2,000 pieces, becomes the first watch to carry Oris Calibre 401, the second movement from its new family of in-house automatics. The new watch is cased in 40 mm of bronze, a material chosen to symbolise not just the diving helmets worn by Carl during his career as a U.S. Navy Master Diver, but also because it’s a metal that will tell its own story. Bronze is a natural material that patinates as it reacts with oxygen in the air and moisture from your skin. Over time, it will take on a unique finish, like a visual chronicle of the wearer’s own life wearing the watch. The watch also has a blue dial, inspired by naval tradition, a uni-directional rotating bronze bezel with a diving scale in relief, and a custom-designed, hand- crafted, moisturewicking woven elastic nylon webbing strap produced for this watch by Erika’s Originals. Special luxury wooden presentation box and certificate.
