Still in love

Still loving this watch. Much more versatile than I originally thought it would be. In the words of Depeche Mode; I just can’t seem to get enough…

On wrist today: Oris Rectangular

absolutely love it 👍

I would not have thought the shift in the band would help this synch with a gray Prince of Whales check like that. Dead on. Bold move Mav. Yep, convinced. The Oris Rectangular is my next watch.

@CTReese Glen check! 😉

Which colour OR would you go for?

Love that rectangular Oris. That is a great looking watch. 👌

Love that rectangular Oris. That is a great looking watch. 👌 

I think they nailed the Art Deco aesthetic by removing most of the numerals from the previous models. Definitely looks cleaner imo

·

Great watch! it makes any suit look professional.

·

Great looking dress watch. I like the use of more markers than numerals also. Makes the face classy and a bit understated. Good wear with a suit. 

·

Rectangular watch + suited and booted = 👌

I was down with the red OR all the way the first time I saw it. It takes the stodginess out but still keeps it a classic. You can go fun casual or, like you showed, switch to a black or subdued strap and make it a bit more serious.

I’m interested in the Baume et Mercier Hampton. A more modern take on a rectangular watch but still with some Art Deco inspiration. I think a rectangular dress watch works. 

The Longines Dolce Vita deserves a look as well for anyone considering going rectangular.  The obvious more expensive luxury options are the Cartier Tank and the JLC Reverso. Based on photos alone, I like the look of the new Hampton the best personally.

Stunning!! Think this may be in my future, on  mesh bracelet would be more than one could stand ??  :) 

Picked up a 19mm MiLTAT  Tapered Milanese Mesh Watch Band Brushed for a few other 19mm in the collection including the ORIS Pointer Date 403.

Such a banger! Oris nailed the delicate mixture of Reverso, Tank and Gondolo while still making it look different than all of the above mentioned.

The greyish/green also has a similar flavour. White is definitely the most versatile. You’ll have to post some pics up when you get it or try it on!!

Gotta try them all on!

mistakenly thought it to be a Reverso. Very nice watch, Otis punches above its weight. Love the dial and that strap is amazing too! 

Thanks. I wish it was a Reverso!! 😂

I really want them to offer this in a black variant at some point.

Maybe there’s someone from Oris reading right now…😉

·

I also seriously love the idea of rocking this watch with cut off shorts and a T-shirt. Super Baller! 🤯🤘🔥

I have a thing for burgundy - so lots of Love for the color and design On this one - great selection.

I feel that for sure - we demand more dress down tank watch vibes!!!!

·

That is a nice watch! I was looking at them on their site; Burgundy was not my first choice but paired with that taupe leather strap it may be the pick of the bunch and I do not have a square or rectangular watch in my collection at the moment. This could be one that fills that void but it does push the upper limit that I'm willing to spend on a watch. I may make an exception lol

·

This looks great! Oris makes some nice rectangular watches.

@thatguy306 Thanks. There are discounts to be had. Oris boutique was offering £100 at launch

Really nice rectangular watches. Have tried the blue, red and the green one at the very welcoming Oris AD boulevard Saint Germain in Paris.

If I had not have another imminent very different purchase in mind (Formex Essence 39 mm), i would have pulled the trigger on the red one.

It was a tough decision between the red, green and white for me., personally.

The Formex is a very high quality watch imo. The degrade dial is really special

Love the watch, also Depeche Mode.😃

Are you a fan?  If you're as massively into them as I am, my account name Stjarnadm name may mean something to you? 😀👍 

·

@Stjarnadm Thanks. I only know a couple of their songs unfortunately! Cool band!

·

Oh, ok.  Stjarna is the B side (instrumental)to a little known song called Little 15.  It's a bit obscure and only DM nerds like me would know.  😀
