Edit: Fresh out of the box I measured +4s/24h, which, considering the -5 to +20 specified deviation, is pretty good. Will update again in a month.
Edit #2: Had it for a month now, and here's some impressions. Starting with the time keeping ability, the average daily deviation is +5.5 seconds, 'average' being a key word here, as I've had daily deviations ranging from +2 to +9. Still, that's apparently considered perfectly normal for mechanical watches, and other than that, it behaves - there are no mismatches in the hand positions, the automatic winding mechanism can fully wind the spring and in general, I couldn't spot any oddities in its operation. In terms of comfort, the case just sits there on the hand without any problems, and the real factor is the strap. The steel one I found very comfortable (for a steel strap), although the folding butterfly clasp might take a while getting used to. As for the croco leather strap ($150), when it eventually mellows out and becomes supple, it has a softer, more pleasant touch. However, initially, it's very stiff and unbendy, so prepare for an adaptation period if you choose that one. Lastly, a word on build quality. With great price come great expectations, and Oris has delivered on the 99th percentile, which in my book is just a small step below Perfect. There are small imperfections on the grain uniformity close to the cuts, and on the barrel (seen through the back), but that's only visible if you REALLY stuff your face into the watch. I suppose I can also negatively comment on the steel's chrome being easy to scratch, but literally every watch has this issue (unless it's made of Platinum). The bracelet is very well built as well, looking good and feeling sturdy. The one thing I do have an issue with, is the (optional) leather strap. The so-called "croco" leather is actually lambskin with a crocodile pattern. The looks and stitching is great, but the leather itself not only is stupidly stiff out of the box, it also tends to "break" on the croco pattern lines. This is most prominent if there's a hole drilled on that line (which in my case, there is), causing it to L-bend, which further prolongs the softening period as well as potentially being a comfort nuisance. Anyhow, with all that in mind, if I had to recommend the watch to someone loving the design and having the spare cash, I wholeheartedly would.
