Introducing the Oris Hangang Limited Edition

Oris presents a new green Aquis for a noble cause. Oris’ Hangang Limited Edition for the Korean Federation for Environmental Movements Proceeds from sales of this watch will help support KFEM's mission The watch industry in recent years has witnessed an increasing number of brands collaborating with environmental conservation initiatives. However, independent marque Oris ranks above many when it comes to making these efforts as an integral part of their overall brand message. They have made a mark in the horological world with their marine and aquatic preservation efforts around the globe. For their latest release, Oris look eastward to South Korea. The ongoing Oris ‘Change for the better’ campaign is highlighting the plight of the Hangang River, the second-longest and most vital river in South Korea as it supplies water to 10 million residents in Seoul. Oris have partnered with Seoul KFEM—part of the Korea Federation for Environmental Movements—the country’s largest environmental non-governmental organisation, to help clean the most important of the nation. A product of this association is the latest in Oris’ portfolio of limited edition watches for the environment—particularly water. From their diving collection, Aquis, we present: the Oris Hangang Limited Edition. Dedicated to the Hangang River, a major source of fresh water for the city of Seoul Watch connoisseurs are abreast with Oris’ penchant for environmental conservation and its deep-rooted commitment to cleaning the world’s waterways. Over the years, the watchmakers have promoted awareness through partnerships with the Clean Water Project, Reef Restoration Foundation, Coral Restoration Foundation, and other non-profits. These efforts have mostly been complemented by limited edition Aquis dive watches. This time around, Oris take us to the Hangang River in Seoul, South Korea—a vital resource for millions, as well as Korea’s wildlife. Years of continuous pollution have not only jeopardised the drinking water supply, but also taken a toll on the delicate ecosystem that the river supports. By joining forces with Seoul KFEM, Oris are lending support to the clean-up days that the organisation schedules throughout the year, during which hundreds of local volunteers come to collect rubbish, plastic and other harmful pollutants. As a non-profit organisation, Seoul KFEM rely on partnerships for donations and awareness, and sales of the new Oris Hangang Limited Edition, in part, will help fund these clean-up initiatives. The brand’s global reach will also raise critical awareness of ongoing volunteer activity in the city. This unique limited edition Aquis not only commemorates the partnership but also celebrates the beauty of the Hangang River. The Oris Aquis Hangang Limited Edition combines handy functionality with a green colourway evoking the riverfront. The caseback depicting the Hangang, with the unique limited edition serial number While the watch does stand for a noble cause, its representation is quite subtle, as it steers clear of the dial and only makes a prominent presence on the reverse of the watch. The caseback sports this unique touch—the course of the Hangang River embossed in steel, starting from its source in the Taebaek Mountains to its mouth at the Yellow Sea. Also seen is the name of the river in the Hangul (Korean) alphabet. The caseback also features the serial number, unique on each watch from this limited edition of 2,000 pieces. Built on the Aquis platform with few fresh twists If you are familiar with Oris’ flagship diver’s watch, the 316L stainless steel case with an unconventional diameter of 43.5mm will surely strike a chord with you. Don’t be misled by the hefty case size, as Aquis’ trademark short and narrow lugs coupled with a prominent downturn ensures that the watch sits snugly on your wrist. Its commanding presence is reinforced by the beefy crown guards and the vertical case sides. The signed, screw-down crown has a wide, knurled pattern and is partially guarded by extensions in the case. It boasts the same 300m water resistance that the Aquis is known for, but what primarily sets it apart is the unidirectional dive bezel. It comes fitted with a ceramic insert, rendered in a deep shade of green that almost looks blackish under indirect light. It features diver’s bezel staples—a demarcated 15-minute scale and Arabic numerals engraved for every 10 minutes on the 60-minute timer, in addition to the 12 o’clock triangular marker.

In this case, the dial and the ceramic bezel insert are evocative of the vivid hues of creek waters at the Hangang’s source. The exposed orbital date display indicates the date via a marker on a disc beneath it. The circular date adds a layer of depth which gives an edge to the overall aesthetics. Nestled within the orbital date is a minimal small seconds sub-dial positioned at nine o’clock. It employs a double-ended seconds hand. Luminous details and a domed glass for optimum readability The bold applied hour indices mark five minutes along a simple outer track, while the Super-LumiNova inserts on the hours and minute hands, as well as the indices, ensure impeccable readability. The visual flair of the dial can be enjoyed through the sapphire crystal glass, which is domed on both sides and has an anti-reflective coating on the inside. Powered by a reliable, self-winding movement At the heart of this timepiece is Oris’ calibre 743, which is based on the Selitta SW 220-1. This automatic movement includes 28 jewels, vibrates at a frequency of 28,800vph and promises a 38-hour power reserve. The otherwise undecorated movement is accompanied by the signature red Oris rotor, although it’s hidden behind the steel caseback.

Equipped with solid, rounded links and a dive extension, the stainless steel bracelet exudes refinement owing to the nuance in its finishing—a mix of finely brushed and polished surfaces.

The colour palette is surely a welcome departure from most of the recent pieces from the Aquis collection, and is sure to take watch collectors by delight.
