Oris - A Different Type Watch Company

Oris may not be as well known a brand as Amazon or Ebay for most people, but within the watch lovers' communities, it's huge!

Oris has been with us since 1904 and is one of the most prestigious watch companies on the planet. 

Innovation and perfection in design and engineering have been central to Oris since its first days.

Oris is responsible for designing an ingenious depth indicator for its diving watches and the elegant pilots' watch at left, one of many, comes with an altimeter that can be purchased in either Imperial or Metric versions.

So what's different about Oris?

Oris is passionate about the environment and people funding projects like the Lake Baikal Foundation and manufacturing limited release watches honouring people such as Carl Brashear.

The company is even involved in dophin and whale conservation. 

And there is much more. You can read about other Oris supported projects here and the 50 people who were given watches by Oris - their "Heroes of the Hour".

I've been a fan of watches for decades - most of my life in fact, and I've never heard of such generosity by a watch company. Oris gives back!

If you'd like to support any of Oris's philanthropy or conservation programs, I recommend you visit their site and help out. You may even like to spoil yourself with one of the world's best watches.

PS: I do not receive a benefit should you wish to contribute to Oris programs or purchase one of their watches.
