Product Description
This limited-edition Oris timepiece was crafted in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Williams Racing. Styled in the iconic Formula 1 racing team's logo and colors, it’s as agile, precise, and sporty as an F1 car Read More
Just incase anyone willing to spend two-grand on a watch might be more than a little curious to see what the CLASP looks like as well, I did find this shot (but nothing yet in the open position) :
RayFGreat looking bracelet; but sadly that's all for me. This is probably one of the plainest looking Oris for a while,but that's just IMO. Even at $1000 or lower you would really have to love this dial; but I do like this bracelet!
For the brown leather strap MD's price is $1,999--if that's the configuration you like (or if you're just a cheapskate looking for the lowest possible price), it's a lot cheaper here:
My personal opinion of the watch is that while it's obviously a quality piece, it's nothing to get excited about
UNLESS you happen to be both a Williams Racing fan and an Oris fan. As with other team-up/collaboration watches (Oris and Audi or Hamilton and Red Bull, for example) those folks in the both category tend to snap those watches up on initial release at full-price. The remnants (like this one) tend to gather dust on shelves, requiring heavy discounts to move them out. All of which brings us here, looking at a watch that may be brand-appealing, but isn't particularly affiliation-appealing (as in: I like Hamilton, but don't like Red Bull). Wisely in this case Oris opted not to plaster Williams Racing or F-1 all over the damn dial--so this watch still has plenty of afterlife left.
Final verdict:
A) I have no interest in Williams Racing, and
B) find the watch a little too generic-70s looking (there are LOTS more interesting 70s style watches out there to resurrect/emulate than this one).
Total dollars saved: $2099 + tax!!!
Yes, hadn't seen that before - it's a looker. What people in the 60s thought the future would look like...
What we really have though is the pastel puck of the apple watch.
I feel that something has gone astray.
Agreed. And it's not lost on me that between the Jetsons and Bladerunner, we were all supposed to running around in flying cars by now too. If science and civilization don't hurry up and get their act together, the future is just going to be a reissue of the past!
