The New Oris Aquis Hangang Limited Edition
Oris is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1904, and since then the brand has never stopped growing and producing high-quality watches, but despite all this, Oris was also a pioneer in some social causes, we remember that it was one of the first employers offer equal opportunities for men and women. Since 2010, Oris started to embrace several environmental causes and to support them not only with its own funds but also producing limited editions of watches whose sales revert to these causes. In this context, it has helped several environmental organizations from different countries, in this latest edition that we present today the ‘Oris Aquis Hangang Limited Edition’ aims to help the KFEM (Korean Federation for Environmental Movements) in the campaign “Change for the Better” to clean the Hangang River that has been neglected and polluted in recent years. The Hangang River is the second-longest river in South Korea and supplies more than 10 million people in the city of Seoul.
On this new model, the main feature that stands out is the emerald-coloured dial, inspired by the colours of the creek waters of the Hangang’s source. Although the main specifications of this watch in relation to previous editions have been preserved, we can find some new and interesting modifications, the traditional date window has been replaced by a central disc that is almost imperceptible, as it now occupies the 24-hour scale of the GMT function from the previous edition, another novelty is the introduction of a seconds subdial at 9 o’clock with a double point hand. This watch comes with a 43.5mm of diameter steel case with a green ceramic bezel, large indexes and large hands with Super-LumiNova luminescence, a screw-down crown with crown guards, a sapphire glass in the front and a steel caseback with the Hangang River engraved. Inside we can find a Caliber 743 automatic movement based on the Sellita SW-220-1 movement with 28,800 vph, 38h power reserve and 300m water resistance. This Oris comes with a stainless-steel bracelet that alternates between polished and brushed.
Finally, we remind you that it is a limited edition of 2,000 pieces with a price of €2,400.
