Oris Artelier Pointer date... Still have it.
Owned this one briefly;
Must say though, I do think as a brand they are really hitting new heights. I particularly like the depth gauge above and the altimeter model. I think they may be a good, less showy tool watch alternative to Breitling.
I have only one Oris now. I think they are great value for money watches... Im loving the one in the S.C. too! Mine is just back from a service too.............so good for a good few years yet!
I've got a second date but waiting for the 111 to be released. It was supposed to be out in August, that changed to September, then November and finally late December but still haven't heard anything yet. No UK ads hold any info regarding release dates, I've emailed Oris and they don't know themselves. It's only been advertised since last March.
I had these two. I thought they were pretty well made watches, but it's funny how you can get hung up on the silliest things with a watch. After a while I couldn't stop noticing how the brand name is essentially the last two syllables of a word describing a female body part. Then it became one of those "once it's been seen, it can't be unseen" sort of things*, and I had to sell them both.
*same reason I can't make myself consider an Oceanus, or a Zuriner.
Long gone...
I had this one, a World Timer, but sold it about four years ago.
Actually looking at the photo, I sort of wish I hadn't.
Here is mine. Not getting a lot of wrist time lately, so I need to sort that out.
Really like the look of this vintage divers watch

I'm after the Carlos coste cenote next, I'm thinking of trading my depth gauge for one
My two Oris divers:
Love everything about this brand. A great watch, good design, nicely understated. Have owned two and will own another.
I'm another Oris fan, but aren't they getting a bit big these days? Many of the current range seem very (too?) big to wear.
Still have my big crown pointer date from nearly 20!years ago. It was my first proper watch purchase and still looks good and keeps good time.
Highly underrated but suffered from heavy discounting in their past
My first "real" watch, was this (long gone but not forgotten)

My last in "real" watch, was this:

Have to say I am very impressed with it, more so than I thought I would. The new style rubber is exceptionally comfortable, and the quick adjustment on the clasp is very well done.
I've had it for several months now, and the bracelet has remained in the box.

Here is mine. I love the shape of the case and the cut out indices on the dial.
I love the deep black dial with orange markers set off by the polished bracelet
Phew.. wonder what I was going to see then, thought I read "Show us your Orifice"
