Recommended Posts

Got this today as a trade for my Oris diver (got some cash also), nice watch and feels a bit more modern and less in need for a service than the 2004 Oris :)

 

Specifications:

ETA 2892-2 movement

40mm across plus crown guard, 14.1mm height

4mm anti-reflective sapphire crystal

Double-sized micro gas tubes

Shock resistance: 7,500 Gs

Water resistance: 300m

Antimagnetic: 12,000 A/m

SS bracelet

 

Not sure but I think it is COSC certified.

It's got a relatable classic look but style all it's own... sweet piece.

Nice glow on these, but the DW and CG's put me off, but they do look a different beast on the wrist. Wear in good health :thumbsup:

Really like some of the pieces from Ball.

 

Especially like their Gas tube luminosity.

That lume looks pretty amazing.

It's not so amazing in day or low light but in the middle of the night it is very good. Wish they had normal superlume as a complement to the tubes also like dots for every hour and filled end of the hands.
