Introducing the Oris Carysfort Reef Limited Edition 

The latest launch from Oris comes to India. Oris launches the Carysfort Reef Limited Edition Continuing its long-standing support for cleaner oceans, Oris has committed part of the proceeds from the sales of this stunning new watch towards coral restoration Over the past few years, Oris has batted for a variety of different causes—whether it’s ocean conservation, saving the majestic blue whale or bringing attention to the world’s deepest lake, Lake Baikal. This year, Oris has picked another urgent cause in its re-envisioning of the Oris Aquis GMT Date, and it’s one that is close to the hearts of divers and snorkelers across the world who find comfort, beauty and serenity beneath the waves. It is the threat faced by coral reefs, which not only support an incredible amount of biodiversity, but also boost economic activities such as tourism and fisheries, besides aiding in the protection of the coastal line from natural disasters. Oris has been proactively involved with different foundations that are restoring the life of these magnificent, life-giving coral reefs, by allocating a part of the proceeds from sales of its limited edition watches. This year, it has teamed up with Coral Restoration Foundation, one of its frequent beneficiaries, based in the Florida Keys. We bring to you the Oris Carysfort Reef—a 2,000-piece limited edition GMT watch in stainless steel that marks the latest in the initiatives by the independent Swiss watchmaker to raise funds and generate awareness about different environmental projects related to our oceans and other water bodies that are a source of life. Oris and its tryst with the ocean and the Carysfort Reef For the uninitiated, corals are invertebrate animals that are absolutely vital to all life under the sea. They are home to 25 percent of all marine fish species. Apart from their importance in the ocean environment, coral reefs are a major contributor to the economy, through fishing and tourism. Besides human activities such as overfishing, coral harvesting and coastal development, climate change and ocean acidification are causing coral reefs to bleach, killing entire colonies in one fell swoop. One organisation fighting to protect these precious ecosystems is the Coral Restoration Foundation. This charitable organisation has been undertaking intensive restoration projects in the many coral reefs around the world. Oris had earlier supported the foundation’s efforts to revive the endangered Staghorn coral and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, through previous Aquis special editions. The foundation is also making headway in its restoration of the Carysfort Reef located in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. This Carysfort Reef Limited Edition honours and supports this very effort of the foundation. The Carysfort Reef, located to the east of Key Largo, is part of the Florida Reef Tract, which is the third-largest barrier reef in the world and the only one that’s located in the US. In the last 50 years, however, the reef has witnessed an incredible amount of degradation, decimating it by a whopping 98 percent—making it extremely vulnerable and necessitating its conservation evermore. This is where the Coral Restoration Foundation steps in—they have returned over 25,000 corals through their out-planting programmes and aim to get the figure up to 30,000 by the end of this year. The robust Aquis case that makes for a mighty presence on the wrist Based on the robust Aquis GMT Date, this model sports a 43.5mm stainless steel case. Brushed and polished to perfection, the case offers a water resistance of 300m. The two-tone bezel, with a 24-hour GMT scale, that goes from blue to black—perfectly representative of the deep blue seas—adds to the athletic look. The round case is complemented by the characteristic stubby semi-integrated lugs. The timepiece is worn on the standard tapering three-link Aquis bracelet in stainless steel, accompanied by a steel security folding clasp and an extension system.

One of this timepiece’s chief highlights, the caseback sports a complex engraving celebrating the 30,000th individual coral replanted by the Coral Restoration Foundation. The representation of multiple different species in sharp relief not only lends it an exceptionally unique look, but also reinforces the marine association for divers. The caseback also features the unique serial number of each piece in this limited edition of 2,000. A stunning blue dial with orange accents inspired by hues of coral With a sunburst finish, the wonderful blue hue of the dial is reminiscent of the shallow waters that are home to Florida’s coral. A date window at three gives the watch more functionality than one bargained for. Unlike the Aquis GMT models in the collection, this timepiece features an orange triangle on the GMT bezel that houses the luminous dot—a colour scheme seen in accents across the dial. Used in details and markers, this orange is inspired by the hues of coral. The main feature that makes this timepiece stand apart from other similar watches in its class is a GMT complication that can track three different time zones. The regular hour and minute hands track local time, the central GMT hand points to home time on the scale inside the dial, and the bi-directional bezel can be used to track a third time zone. The recessed 24-hour GMT scale has orange highlights, while the short, arrow-tipped GMT hand in the centre also has a dash of orange. This not only aids legibility but also enhances its visual appeal.

The luminous dot on bezel further aids legibility underwater or at night. The steel case—50mm lug-to-lug, and 14mm thick—comes with a notched bezel that has a two-tone, black-and-blue ceramic insert, which was, first seen on a gold model released in January. The bezel has a laser-engraved, 24-hour scale, with the markers filled with white. Like a day/night indicator, the black corresponds to nighttime hours and the blue for daytime.

The movement ticking within Powering this timepiece is Oris’ calibre 798, which is based on the Selitta calibre SW 330-1.
