The limited-edition Oris WilliamsF1 Team (Ref. 01 773 7685 4184-Set RS) may not only be an ultimate present for just about any F1 fan around the world. Yet, it is a nice choice if you simply look for a sporty chronograph with a modern design that doesn't look like yet another Omega Speedmaster or a Rolex Daytona "homage".
Being an official timekeeper of RAID Suisse-Paris classic car rally (this year the race, which is reserved exclusively for cars that were built before the year 1975, will start on 22 August 2013) where dozens of oldtimers travel from Basel, Switzerland to Paris, France via Nancy and Reims, the Swiss watchmaker Oris introduces a new limited edition watch.
This new Oris RAID 2013 Chronograph Limited Edition (Ref. 01 775 7686 4084-Set) looks very similar in styling to the RAID 2011 Alarm Edition (Ref. 908 7607 4094) that was introduced two years ago, but features a different set of functions.
Based on their current Artix GT Chronograph, this new Oris Calobra Limited Edition (Ref. 774 7661 4484) differs from the original only with a slightly cheaper Sellita SW500 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.
The vintage-styled Alpina Startimer Classic Chrono-Automatic (ref. AL-860SCP4S6) looks good and desirable, although the press photos that we have received leave some questions unanswered.
