WatchesOnNet - Luxury Watches For Men And Women Review

After being online for just 12 months, Oris recently had its 20,000^th member sign up for its online service, MyOris.  With members coming from 145 countries, it’s clear the service’s popularity has spread far and wide.  What is MyOris exactly?  The online membership service provides Oris wearers a variety of perks: a 12 month extension on the guarantee of any registered watch; access to “MyWatch Finder,” which helps members find their perfect watch; exclusive access to the latest Oris news; and the opportunity to enter in exclusive contests.

To celebrate MyOris’ first birthday, Oris did two things for its members.  It first held a contest for members to win a limited edition graphic by musician, artist, and Oris ambassador Bob Dylan.  Only 295 pieces of the graphic, entitled “Still Life With Peaches,” were produced, making it a true collectors item for any Bob Dylan fan (the contest was closed on January 31^st, 2010).  Oris also announced two new languages for MyOris: Thai and simplified Chinese.  Bringing the total languages of MyOris up to 12, the addition of Thai and Chinese open up the service to millions of potential users, making the possibility of adding another 20,000 members by its second birthday a real possibility

The world of luxury watches is competitive as each watch brand (and there are hundreds) are competing for the same audience; always trying to one up the other in terms of design, originality, complexity, luxury and more.

Oris watches are truly unique in that no other brand offers anything close to the men’s watch we’re about to review: the Oris Bob Dylan Limited Edition.

“There is a story behind every Oris, a reason why it became a watch.” These are the words from those that create Oris timepieces. Inspiration for Oris watches are found in the finer things of life: good music, great voices, fast cars and the wonders of the sea. Each watch is developed in collaboration with personalities from the arenas of motor sport, diving, aviation and culture.

During the 2009 Baselworld show Oris presented its limited edition Bob Dylan watch, which was created with input from the legendary singer himself.

The case is rectaungular and made from multi-piece stainless steel. The dial features a subtle pattern and limited edition engravings are seen on the back. The caseback shows a portrait of Dylan  and his signature can be seen across the dial. Limited to just 3,000 pieces worldwide, the watch comes in a special presentation box and sits alongside a Hohner Marine Band harmonica, the instrument which Dylan plays and has given him his iconic sound.

The strap is made from black leather and comes with a stainless steel folding clasp.

The Oris watch company was founded in 1904 and has become well-known for only producing mechanical watches. Oris watches have distinctive designs and are marked by the red rotor, the symbol of Oris mechanicals. Turn over any Oris watch and you will see, through a visible case back, the workings of the watch.
