Established in 1904, Oris has become to be regarded as a long lasting brand with great influence on the watch manufacturing tradition and with a promising future sustained by the release of highly innovative timepieces that defy the traditional standards of watch manufacturing.

        Having as a symbol the red rotor, Oris is the proud manufacturer of many wristwatches that propose creative-concepts meant to celebrate an event, a public figure or a sport competition. Always a brand preoccupied with sport events and competitions, Oris is the official timekeeper for the RAID classic car rallies, and the representatives from Oris have announced this year the brand’s intention to create a limited edition wristwatch by the name of Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition to honor the 20th edition of RAID Switzerland-Paris, France.

        Being inspired by a 1952 Jaguar XK 120 car that won the first prize in last year’s competition, the design of the new Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch maintains classic and refined features that hint to the elegancy of the 1950s. The new timepiece released by Oris comes as a celebration of one of the most esteemed classic rallies in Europe, a rally with fans all over the world that come to support a competition characterized by taste, nostalgia and elegance.

        The new Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch features a case measuring 43.50 mm in diameter, being crafted from extra-resistant stainless steel. The round case seems to capture the aesthetical preferences from the 1950s, being characterized by refined robust design lines that impress the eye immediately. The case features a crown on the left lateral side and two pushers that help for the functions’ adjustment. The case is brilliantly constructed as to assure the utmost safety of the mechanism inside, it is covered with sapphire crystal on both parts and can resist up to 30 meters of diving.

        With an interesting dial that is inspired in a way by the features of the 1952 Jaguar XK 120 car, the new Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch rises to the occasion. The dial is black and adorned with white detailing for the hour markers, Arabic numerals and the delimitation of the chronograph’s sub-dials. The element that hints to the Jaguar car is the red zone present in two of the sub-dials. Located symmetrically at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock; the three sub-dials represent the counters of the chronograph. Also, the dial presents a discreet date window between 4 and 5 o’clock.

        The automatic mechanical movement based on a chronograph function is what maintains the accuracy of the functions displayed on its dial, a movement design especially by the designers from Oris in their factory in Switzerland. The new Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch is an extremely reliable timekeeping instrument that would prove to be the best companion in rallies.

        The Oris RAID Chronograph Limited Edition Watch is produced in a limited edition of 500 items, each timepiece having inscribed on the see-through case back the logo of the brand and an individual number, adding a touch of distinction to the watch.
