Oris protects the original intention of wearing watches

Posted by lifata on April 4th, 2023

The "Watches and Miracles" watch exhibition was held in Geneva as scheduled. There are so many new watches and hot watches that it is really difficult to choose the favorite watch. But if I were asked to choose the most impressive and interesting watch, it would be very easy, and no watch can compete with it. That's right, it is Oris' new PPX Kermit joint watch.

Joint name is a common thing for Oris. For example, at the end of 2022, it will cooperate with Fretello to launch the Divers Sixty-Five diving watch Fratello limited edition. At the same time, it also cooperated with the air fire organization Coulson Aviation to launch the first carbon fiber watch using 3D printing technology. Looking forward, Oris will cooperate with the humanitarian organization Wings of Hope in mid-2022 to launch two limited edition fake watches uk with large crowns and self-made movements. It can be said that there are countless joint watches.

Public welfare and environmental protection, cooperative joint names, and self-produced movements have been the key words of Oris in recent years, and these key words are closely linked. Judging from the joint name in the past two years, Oris has always treated it with a "serious and serious" attitude. In addition to environmental protection organizations, there are also many social welfare organizations. Under such circumstances, it is very surprising to me that Oris announced the cooperation with Disney’s cartoon character Kermit. It can be said that instead of being "serious" in the past, it successfully broke out of the encirclement of new watches and hot watches at the watch exhibition with "humor", leaving a deep impression on people.

Some watch friends may want to ask, why did Oris replica put aside the "serious" for a short time and turned around to make a "funny watch"? I think, probably after countless appeals and seriousness, it returned to its original intention, just as Oris himself said: "If Oris watches can only retain one mission, it is to bring smiles to people."

Before I saw this watch, I hadn't watched the movie "The Muppet Movie". But I am very familiar with the absurd and funny green frog. After all, with its appearance, it is hard to forget once you see it once. The new watch will draw inspiration from the green frog, using the same avocado green "skin" as Kermit, fresh and beautiful, very conspicuous.

Probably because the panel adopts a very bright green color, which is already eye-catching enough, so the brand's panel design is extraordinarily simple. The white columnar time scale and the green dial are very fresh and clean.

It may be far-fetched for the joint watch to only use the same "skin", so there is another bright spot on the dial, which is the date display window at 6 o'clock. On the first day of each month, a Kermit will open the window to welcome you in the date display window. It smiles happily and is sunny, very playful and cute, and the corners of its mouth are slightly raised unconsciously.

The case diameter of the watch is 39mm, which is the same as the PPX 400 series watch released at last year’s watch show. This size is very tolerant. I believe such a cute watch will also win the hearts of many female watch friends. The case is made of titanium material, showing a gray luster, highlighting the modernity. Compared with stainless steel, titanium metal is hard, impact-resistant, corrosion-resistant and lighter in weight, which effectively improves wearing comfort.

Although the new watch has a distinctive style, it also inherits the fine traditions of the "predecessors". For example, the classic knurled bezel and large crown of this series are used in this watch, which also makes this watch highly recognizable as a brand.

The watch mirror is made of double-sided arched sapphire. Even under strong light, the anti-glare coating on the inside and outside can ensure that the wearer can read the time clearly.

The hour markers and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova® luminous material coating, which can accurately grasp the time even in a dark environment.

Through the case back, we can see the Oris self-winding ORIS 400 self-winding movement inside the watch. It has more than 30 non-ferrous metal antimagnetic material parts, and the design reduces friction and wearing parts as much as possible to improve service life. In addition, this movement has excellent anti-magnetic performance and an accuracy of -3/+5 seconds per day, which meets the certification standards of the Observatory. The double hair set can provide the watch with a power reserve of up to 120 hours (5 days), which is very rare in watches of the same level.

The watch is equipped with a titanium alloy bracelet, and adopts a folding clasp with Oris patented LIFT structure. The angular lines and matte texture are full of sense of technology.

Nowadays, the practicality of replica watches cheap is getting smaller and smaller, and everyone relies more on the ultimate accuracy and convenience brought by electronic products. There are many reasons why people buy watches, but few people can really "spend a lot of money just for happiness". In the more than 100 years of watchmaking history of Oris, it has witnessed and participated in the development of watches, from practicality to decoration. It once insisted on its own philosophy and catered to the needs of the market, but what has never changed is that it knows that people do not need the watch itself, but pursue the pleasure of owning it and the enjoyment of viewing mechanical watches. It is also under this concept that Oris "uncharacteristically" cooperated with Kermit to launch this childlike watch model, just to protect the original intention of wearing a watch and win everyone's smile.
