Oris Classic Men's Watch

Oris, for those not familiar with these watchmakers, are quality, precision engineers of timekeeping.  Makers of only Mechanical watches, Oris has built an unmatched reputation for themselves in their field.  Oris models include Diving watches, an Aviation line and the Culture series, where you can pick up the signature Bob Dylan timepiece.  Another Mechanical watch from the Culture Collection is the Oris Classic.  If you are the kind of person who buys only the classic everything, this is your watch.  This men’s watch is stylish in a very understated way.  The Oris Classic says that you are confident and successful, but you don’t brag about it!  The Oris Classic is available in only two versions, the black dial, or the silver dial.  Each of these comes paired with a black leather strap.  I know, it doesn’t sound like an exciting watch…but the fact that it’s an Oris, makes all the difference.  The Classic men’s watch has an automatic self-winding movement.  It’s a Mechanical, like all Oris’s, but this one takes no batteries and no winding, brilliant!  This timepiece also has a 38 hour power reserve.  It’s a large men’s size watch, with a measurement of 42 mm.  Flash is not the word here, but style and performance will win you over.

Shopping Wisely Can Save You Money

Ok, let’s go shopping.  Sound like fun, right?  Well, it can be, but shopping on the web can also be confusing…that’s where I come in.  Today we’re looking for discount watches, and trust me when I tell you, the deals are out there.  You just have to know where to look and what you’re looking for.  I feel as though I’m always putting up warning signs, and sometimes I am.  It’s just that, even though shopping on the internet is safe and convenient, in many ways it’s very similar to getting in your car and driving from shop to shop…and we can forget that.

Every site will have different prices, various shipping options, sales tax incentives, etc…let me give an example.

I have great respect for Oris watches.  I think they are incredibly well-made and have some very interesting design elements.  I located the Oris Men’s Chronograph Titanium Diver.  This is a fantastic Oris watch.  It is made from an all Titanium case and security buckle, with a durable rubber strap.  It is a professional diver’s watch and is water-resistant to over 3200 feet.  This is a current model that can be found on the Oris website.  It was on discount, for 1810 euro (what does that mean?) sounds like a deal, but when I calculated the conversion…that’s $2400.00. 

Continuing my search, this same timepiece was found on several other sites.  The best price I ended up with was $1599.00.  That’s $800.00 lower than the discount watch I originally found.  Surprised?  Well, the best part is, it only took me 5 minutes to save that cash!  Easier than driving all around town, and better for the environment, too.

Bob Dylan Limited Edition Watch

Oris is known for their unique watch designs and innovative technology.  Priding themselves on their award-winning reputation, Oris set the standard for Mechanical watchmaking.   Owning one of these amazing timepieces is a treat, and now anyone can.

In March of 2010, in celebration of their 20,000 member log-in to MyOris, the company offered a chance to own a limited edition Bob Dylan graphic.  After successfully completing an on-line quiz, a Frenchman named Sebastien Bisson was the lucky winner. 

Oris has a long history, rich in respect for all who excel at what they do.  The Bob Dylan limited edition was created as a tribute to this iconic musician.  It is a sleek and streamline design, with a black leather strap and a stainless-steel case which bears a portrait of the artist on the back.  The face is jet black and is autographed by Bob Dylan.  Only 3,000 of these amazing timepieces were produced worldwide, and Sebastien Bisson claimed his.

This Swiss-made man’s watch, from Oris is something for fans and music lovers to treasure.  The Bob Dylan limited edition watch is sold as a set, paired with the harmonica Bob Dylan is best known for, the Hohner Marine Band.
