MALDONADO Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 . . After undergoing surgery (change of heart) and I present my new Lifting Titan Divers Chronograph 47mm La marca Oris takes the name of a stream and a valley next to Holstein in the north-western Switzerland. The word has its origin in the Roman Celtic 'Auris' later 'Orusz' meaning watercourse. In its 100 year history the watchmakers Oris turbulent times and have lived alone. But they have always looked forward, with the aim to constantly develop better clocks. Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin Holstein and Georges Christian. Both came from the watchmaking capital of Le Locle in the Swiss Jura region. Christian Georges died in 1927 shortly after the company became a public company. Oscar Herzog, brother of George Christian, became President and during the next 43 years, he continued the tradition of steady growth. In the sixties, the company with a staff of 800, was among the ten largest producers in Switzerland. For over a decade (1986 - 1997), Oris watches are defined by their classic design. Cleverly designed and engraved dials structures oversized crowns, inspired by the pilot of the clocks in the Second World War, which characterize the Oris collection, appealing to a large number of enthusiasts and collectors around the world. The introduction in 1998 of the robust collection Oris Full Steel marked for a new dawn in style. Thereafter, in a clear and defined to date the appearance of your Oris watches. Each year a new line was launched: in 1999: BC3, in 2000: XXL, in 2001: TT1, 2002: Miles in 2003: Artelier. my Clock Rep. Oris Titan Chronograph Divers 47mm Movimiento.: Maquinaria Automática Valjoux 7750 GEN. Caja: de acero de 47 mm Diámetro; 18mm de alto. Bisel: Giratorio 120 clicks Extra: Válvula de helio Cristal: zafiro con AR 4,7 mm Lumen: Aplicado por el Maestro Fleed. Correa: Armix y caucho con cierre desplegable de doble seguridad. appraisals This is a big clock! With a diameter of 47 mm, there is no way around the fact that it is larger than most sports watches. At first glance the finishing stand. It is noted that these clock before a certain "entity." The details are cared for at a minimum. Everything oozes quality from all sides. Another important aspect is the anti-reflective sapphire crystal on. Despite its thickness (4.7 mm) and convex shape, you can check the time in any situation with little difficulty. Case The box shows a neat cut. TT1 design is complex, full of hard edges and angles. It's a beautiful piece of steel. Oris quotes box measuring 47 mm. But close to 44 mm on the bezel and the total thickness is 18 mm. The signed crown is located wing 3 and the helium escape valve at 10:00 both threads, the buttons of the skate (at 2 and 4) are also secured with thread to emerge, stress that it is easy to operate. The helium escape valve to be opened after a long period of time aboard a diving bell or diving station. Like any non-screwed crown open underwater. handles Oris dive watches have large handles and complement the overall style of this model. It has a mirror finish on the outer surface of the handles and continue down to the link belt. bezel The bezel is knurled and has the standard 15 minutes the red zone. The frame can turn only left with 120 clicks accurate full rotation. The lumen pearl and inverted triangle is exactly 12 hours. The bezel bicolor I can not comment on its usefulness, but I like the splash of color on the clock.needles Tritium in the hour hand is applied in two separate areas, which helps distinguish it from the minute hand. The seconds hand, are thin and discreet. Modern design, all steel, it rides on a totalizing and sub-areas with a certain professional. Dial The dial has its entire surface waves Oris features, black non-reflective pattern. Each index ("tear" characteristic of the TT series) has a slim frame and polished metal inlay Superluminova Fleed applied by the teacher as the hands. The time is very easy to see with the naked eye by the contrast of the black dial. The shape of the index dial really gives it a clean and classic. The date window at 6: 00 is very well integrated and very discreet glassl the sapphire crystal is 4.70mm thick-cut and spherical in the interior offers a clear and undistorted full line of almost every angle .... Movement mounted on my watch Calibre valjoux 7750 suizo GEN +6 -4 Great caliber. One of the timesheets are more robust than at present. Born in 1973, has remained little changed so far Specifications: Automatic chronograph counter central 60s, 30min at 3, 12 am to 6 o'clock, small seconds at 9, stop times to remove the crown to the second position and rapid change of date and day. Lacks column wheel and instead there is a piece that does more or less all the features that made this (this concept was patented in 1941 by the clockmaker, Henri Jacot-Guyot, but that's another story). A detail in the following photo (although in a later video you can see): An interesting link.http://www.timezone.com/library/horologium/horologium631672313433425752 Strap / Armix The strap pivots freely on the handles of the box using a socket-type fastening system. This helps enormously to the suitability of any wrist watch, no matter how small it is. Belt change No springbars in this model which I think is a success in terms of security. A bar secures the strap or bracelet to the screw terminals at each end. One screw is integral with the bar and the other is loose, so you can slide the bar to change. Changing the belt is a simple operation, but be careful not to lose the screws apart, I stick with temporary fixing. Lumen I took the next picture by subjecting the watch to total darkness and forcing previamenta few moments with a light bulb to excite the Luminova application. The result is more than good. back The back .... a hatch ufffff !!!!. Machining perfect. Excellent. That's all, thanks for reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just saw this mate... first off...I hope the surgery went well mate Thats a great review and some fantastic pics I know how long these reviews take having tried a few myself so I am grateful for your big effort...Thank you Its always good to see these less commonly discussed watches on here and seeing them in such detail... I recall posting a fake spotter of Oris' on here a while back and was always surprised that the makers didnt lift thier game a bit...but I guess its becaiuse the Oris is foremost considered a lesser gen watch by the makers and given the prices of the gens especially in grey and used markets there isnt a need to make a more expensive rep version... Personally I love the size but there is something about these models that make me think its trying to be something else.... but I guess you could say that about most gen divers.... I wouldnt mind trying one on...but I have never seen one in the flesh.... This review will certainly make me make more of an effort to do so Thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Determine Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Very nice review again Maldonado! I have tried it at the AD and it is very large on the wrist. I have a narrow wrist, but wide arcoss the top, and I am use to wearing large sports models, but this one has a very tall profile. I am now sorry I did not get it, as they had a very good sale going on for that model lineup. Blessings D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Fantastic review with beautiful pictures. Don't be offended by the lack of comments my friend. If It's not a Rolex sub/GMT...or maybe a Panerai....people are just not Interested. If this would have been a sub review we most likely would be on page 20 by now. Personally I like Oris watches. They are reasonably priced good looking divers. I have always liked this coke type bezel version. 'I'm a big fan of big chunky divers. So I like your Oris Titan very much. Thanks for taking the time to do this outstanding review. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpower88 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I had the gen of this watch before selling it to buy a prodiver chrono, and i can say that this rep is scary close. i really cant even tell a difference. maybe if i still had it i could see some, but from what i can remember, its spot on. congrats and thank you for the review! i can post some old pics of my gen for comparaison if someone is interested.
