FS: Oris Carl Brashear Bronze 65 Diver Watch Limited Edition of 2000 Pieces. Cal 401 5 Day Power Reserve. 10 Year Warranty
This watch was made in a limited run of 2000 pieces to commemorate Carl Brashear, the first African American to qualify as a NAVY diver and the first amputee to qualify as a US NAVY diver.
This watch is based on the very popular Diver's 65 aesthetic, and comes in an all-bronze case. At 40mm in diameter, 13.3mm thick, 48mm lug to lug, and with a 20mm lug width this watch will fit most wrists and slip under any cuff. The caseback shows a nice engraving of a vintage divers helmet, alongside a quote by Carl Brashear. This case is water resistant to 100m.
Dial-Side, the first thing that pops out is the crystal, which is actually a highly curved sapphire crystal, though it looks like an acrylic. You get the best of both worlds here, with the scratch resistance of sapphire and vintage look of an acrylic. Gold plated markers are used to outline the beautiful deep blue gloss dial. The 120 click bezel is also bronze, and uni-directional with lume on the numerals.
Inside we have the calibre 401, which is automatic winding, 5 day power reserve movement. This is no run of the mill movement. There's 2 mainsprings here, giving you 5 days of power, which is a few days more than a standard movement. The balance wheel is silicone, and tuned to -3 +5 seconds per day at the factory, which is within COSC specs.
This is such a great watch for the money. You're getting an all bronze case, housing a movement that is not at all run of the mill. The fact that this is limited to 2000 pieces will also help resale value.
Beautiful watch in excellent condition with patina just starting to form.
The watch is under the balance of the Oris warranty for 10 years and service intervals are 10 years on this movement.
