I personally would like to see more watch brands utilize sterling silver in their watch cases and bracelets because it patina's to a very beautiful yellow blue and easily polished if so desired
Honestly the bronze look is growing on me day by day, with every new browsing session that I do on watch websites. I’m so close to grabbing this watch with the burgundy dial, it would be the most expensive watch in my collection by far, and of course my first bronze watch. The thought of not liking the patina doesn’t worry me, because I believe I will enjoy the look of it no matter what, but I will say I feel as though I could break into this price tier with a different choice and be happier. I know I will enjoy this watch a lot, but at this price point, it will be a while before I am able to dip back in and look to purchase another watch, say 16 months, so I just want to be sure I’ll be happy. Full honesty too I intend on attempting to wear it daily, and do a Timelapse of the patina, and also possibly using a heavy metal hand cleaner, like auto techs use, to try and keep my wrist clean, but I’m going to look into the discoloring effect more too before I buy. I’ve been looking at it for about a week now and I’ll give it another week before I make my decision. So far though, out of any bronze watch I’ve looked into priced USD$2500 and below, this one seems to be leagues above other bronze models in this price category. Love the cotton candy full bronze too, but those colors are a bit adventurous for me. Great vid!
My blue/bronze with bracelet is in the mail now… I did such little research before pulling the trigger, that’s how awesome it looked to me. After watching this video, I traveled back in time and ordered one even sooner 😓
Good video! As a long term Oris customer( 5 in collection), I am.finding that with time, I prefer not to worry about magnetism. I have upgraded to Omega, Railmaster, as a daily watch, mainly for this reason. I have the 80th Anniversary Oris,Pointer date, and it's a nice watch, to wear sporadically. I believe, the Sellita movements , in Oris , are slowly be coming a liability, in terms of specs , such as power reserve, anti magnetism, and increasingly, value for money, as their prices increase.
I've been a fan of the pointer date for a long time after all it's a date that you can read whatever the time without it being obscured once an hour by the minute hand. I have a steel oxblood dial on the reindeer strap and it's one of my favourites. I do like the bronze but I'd need to see it in the flesh first, it would also have to have that oxblood dial.
The Pointer Date is probably my favorite Oris along with the classic Aquis and this bronze version is really interesting. With the burgundy or the blue dial I think it looks amazing. The only thing that I haven't understood yet is how I feel about the patina that the bronze naturally have. Is it for me or I only like it when it's brand new? I have to understand this before to decide if this could be my first Oris.
Hi. I have 2 Oris bronze watches and they are awesome. I do NOT like patina, so I clean them regularly. It is very easy. Have this standing ready close by: A cloth and a bottle of lemon juice. Splash juice on the cloth and rub for 45 seconds, and the watch is clean and shining like new. I probably do this once or twice a month. It really takes very little time, but that is the price you have to pay if you don’t like patina. I happily pay this price. So try to patina the watch and if you don’t like it, use cloth and juice.
@@juansole8918 Hi. I have cleaned my 2 Oris bronze for years, since 2018 and there is no harm to the materials. I clean several times a month. The bronze looks as new, not a worry.
It's very Bad when a CEO has to use reverse psychology to sell a product! It is quite simply an excuse for the bad choice of material used on a NEW release. Excuses are usually never admitted publicly by any manufacturer and are often addressed with an updated model after public feedback, and only once they manage to sell existing stock. Bronze is just not a practical metal to use on a bracelet even if you do shower everyday. It looks great of course. It's an expensive and impractical novelty. Great review as usual Bruce, you have one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Hey I was wondering I live in Logan and I hear that you have a group of people in SLC that gets together to talk watches. How I can connect with you guys?
Excellent video Bruce. Love Oris, not tried a bronze watch, really don't understand the appeal TBH. Not a colour I'm fond of when it's new, & a patina'd watch just looks dirty to me. Did enjoy the video, thank Bruce 👍🏻👍🏻
Completely agree. Bronze watches look great brand new but after a year they look dirty and like they've been worn for 20 years. May be a look some people desire but I can't understand why.
Any reviews coming up of the Oris rega fleet limited edition??, seems a bit pricey but I made parts for one of the helicopters so I am drawn to buying one or should I wait till the price drops?

Very profesional, and well spoken. You've really matured as a collector. As usual, this review was very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing them
Thank you Tara, I appreciate that

Did you get it in the end? :D
Great points, love the bronze.

It is cool. In fact, bronze bracelet is always enticing. Zelos, Tudor and Oris, well done.
I like this. Great watch
How noticeable is the different color crown? Apparently more orangey than the rest of the watch and bracelet
Currently saving for the blue dial version, it will be a watch that can cut in line of my rotation whenever it wants lol
I think it looks great. Don't own an Oris, yet. The big crown pointed date likely will be my first of theirs.
Hansome watches for sure. I wish Oris made more day and date or no date options.

What a trip and opportunity Bruce!

100 percent
I have the same exact dilema. Do u know how often you clean the patina without harming the materials?

Great video Bruce! Love Oris fantastic brand I think
I cannot get over the patina created from the bronze material. Wish they made these in stainless steel
They do :)
What do you mean? They made these watches in steel already, these are just the followed versions made in bronze.

I am a fan of Oris I think they do a great job ,however I'm not a fan of bronze watches.
I'm largely not a fan of red or burgundy on watches, but I have to admit, nobody does the color better than Oris.
Is the bracelet solid links? Looking to get one green face this month (:
Love the bronze models. Did I hear correctly that the crown is “treated” or a different alloy? So the crown will not age like the watch case?
I believe it's bronze like the rest of the watch. Oris did not state during the event that it was another material
I have the bronze Dial bronze model with the brown leather strap and the crown patina is exactly the same as the case
I pray they make a bronze bracelet for the 36 mm. This is too big for me, but it's a sharp watch.
Any reviews coming up of the Oris rega fleet limited edition??, seems a bit pricey but I made parts for one of the helicopters so I am drawn to buying one or should I wait till the price drops?
I don't have any reviews planned for the rega fleet. The next Oris videos will be about the Cervo Volante and the Aquis Sun Wukong limited edition
@@BruceWilliams ok, thank you Bruce. Love your videos.
Bruce’s hair is from shower every day, or from not shower at all?
From sticking my finger in a wall socket
Great video, but the music for the intro was godawful.
I love a bronze watch, but the full bronze bracelet is just too gaudy for me. Dark leather straps look better, IMO.
Why do you factor in your purchase decision how a watch looks in a few years? You are flipping it within months anyway :-)
Some I flip quick and some I don't. No rules is the only way to go about this hobby for me
Nice watches apart from being bronze its just a fad
That pretty full bronze is going to look rancid when it oxidizes uneven.
My girl says your hair is from 2003
Close... From late 2007
Hands look dated
Lol....Just apply body lotion on your wrist before you put the bronze watch....
Shower.....hahaha....
