    New Oris Worldtimer

    Always liked these, seems good size-wise too.

    I have a soft spot for Oris, my introduction to watches. I always liked the Worldtimer, but sadly the thickness / diameter ratio kills it for me (again).

    Always likes the way they did the worldtimer, I don’t like the lug/bracelet arrangement.

    Looks like normal but it appears the lug and end pieces are part of the case and the bracelet is flat ended and fits underneath.

    Looks ok on the bracelet but but put it on leather and I can’t see it working.
    Cheers,

    Ben

    My brain just locks up calling a ‘GMT’ a ‘world timer’. I love pusher GMTs but not this one.

    I like the sub dial for the home time and the plus and minus indicators also. What i don't like is the size, way too small especially with and integrated bracelet, my biggest hang up with the Aquis range is the bracelet is fantastic but the integration only works on the 43.5mm and bigger, as i think it overpowers the case on smaller sizes, and this case is swamped by it.

    Same here, my first automatic.

    Would like to see this one on a strap as I agree the bracelet swamps it.

    IMHO the watch is too small and the pushers are too large, - I've a soft spot for Oris watches, independent - doing their own things their way, visit their website and take a look at their history...

    I bought this one on sale at Garrards in the '90s, it was about £400 I think. I don't have it now but I'm not so keen on this new version, looks a bit bulky and inelegant to me.
