With its new Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service (Ref. 01 735 7672 4084-Set LS) that was presented last week at Baselworld 2013, the Swiss-based maker of affordable timekeepers keeps exploring the niche of vintage styled watches with a sweet modern flavor. Featuring the same 44 mm body with the easily recognizable grooved bezel as their previous “pilots” (like, say, the classic Oris Challenge International de Tourisme 1932 Limited Edition), the device also sports a quite contemporary dial with its hands and scales resembling instrument gauges on military planes.

Based on their current Oris Artix GT Chronograph watch (Ref. 674 7661 4434), this new Oris Calobra Limited Edition (Ref. 774 7661 4484) differs from the original only with a slightly cheaper Sellita movement that replaces the classic ETA 7750 work-horse, but retains the easy to operate ceramic rotating bezel, as well as the signature dashboard-styled subsidiary second indicator at 9 o’clock.

Supplied in a huge (as a matter of fact, whole 46 millimeters in diameter!) titanium body, this gorgeous Oris Aquis Titan Chronograph (Ref. 674 7655 7253) automatic diving wrist watch offers you everything that you can expect from this kind of a timekeeper: an impressive water resistance rating, a bullet-proof self-winding movement, and an easily recognizable, yet very original design.

Around three years ago, the Swiss watchmakers started selling their elegant Oris Rectangular Bob Dylan limited edition automatic wrist watch.

Called Oris Chet Baker Limited Edition (Ref. 733 7591 4084), the new automatic watch is named after the famous American jazz trumpeter and singer who was born in 1929, became a star in 1950s, but later succumbed to heavy drugs and died in 1988 at the age of 58.
