I'm liking this new one from Oris and I'm sure my Gumba Tony will too!  BaselWorld 2010: Oris Col Moschin Limited Edition Watch February 24th, 2010 Posted at Baselworld 2010, Oris 9th Parachutist Assault Regiment, Baselworld 2010, Col Moschin, Oris, Reggimento d'Assalto Paracadutisti  | No Comments To pay homage to the Italian 9th Reggimento d’Assalto Paracadutisti (9th Parachutist Assault Regiment), Oris has released its “Col Moschin” Limited Edition watch. Only 2000 pieces are made available for this model.  The 9th Parachutist Assault Regiment Seal The company validates its worthiness by having the watch field tested by the Col Moschin, the most elite unit of the Italian Army. “Field tested” means the Col Moschin special forces wore the watch on jumps from 9,000 meters and on dives down to 40 meters, and in some other extreme environments. It proved that the watch is a reliable Special forces watch.  To match military spirit, the watch employs a very striking 49mm case coated with “gun metal grey” PVD. Although massive just like it looks, the case is probably much lighter than you might think, since it is in titanium and mounted on a rubber strap. Also adding to its manly appeal is its thick, brush-finish bezel that looks very tough. The power reserve is done in the Italian colors of red, white and green, to make clear what country’s elite special forces this watch is inspired by.  The overall design of the new watch may remind you of the Oris ProDiver Chronograph, a slightly larger (51mm case) introduced by Oris last year. However, this “Col Moschin” Limited Edition watch is even more to my taste, because it seems like a perfect Special Forces gear. Technical Specifications Movement Automatic Functions Several parts in titanium, gun metal grey PVD, 49 mm Tungsten ring Screw-down crown and crown shield Convex sapphire crystal with interior anti-reflective coating Water-resistant to 1,000 m Case/Dial Titanium Black Applique hourmarkers and hands with Superluminova BG W9 Power reserve in Italian colours at 7 o’clock Strap Extendible black rubber with safety clasp Retail $3,000-5,000 |

the use of case materials and finishes is pretty cool while keeping the overall look very toolish yet simple....the power reserve complication is one of my favorites on a watch and the new ratcheting dive buckles!!drool.gif |

Saw this one a few weeks ago when it first was shown. Does anyone know what the "Force" meter is for? |

I believe the "Force" meter is just a numerical representation of the Power Reserve which is shown with the colors of the Italian Flag on the other side of the indicator. I'm seeing 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 gradations showing on the "Force" dial (and since I don't see any reference to the Jedi Council on this particular piece, I'm going with my first guess on this one).  |

Cool looking Oris. Does the Italian flag somehow work with the power reserve/force meter? |

the color wheel coincides with the Power/Force left to power the watch....right now it is at 1/2 force and the white of the flags color is predominant...when at full force/power the wheel should be all green and when at it's lowest or no force/power left it will be red....hand6.gif |

Just a guess on my part Mark, but I think Oris has tied in the colors of the Italian flag with the power reserve in the sense that Green is full power reserve and Red is low power reserve. ...it seems like that dial has redundancy by design though since it has both the "color" indicator and the "numerical" indicator on the force part of the meter. This is how I'm interpreting it at this point...I could be completely wrong...cat28.gif |
