Hands-On with the New Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition
Oris might not be the first watch manufacturer to introduce a dive watch in a bronze case, but the company certainly managed to link its first attempt at one to an important milestone in the history of diving: as its name indicates, the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition (Ref. 733 7720 3185) is dedicated to the first?African-American?to become a U.S. Navy Diver in 1954, and?U.S. Navy Master Diver in 1970, despite also having had to overcome an amputated left leg. (Cuba Gooding, Jr. played the role of Brashear in Men of Honor , a movie inspired by the Brashear’s life story). His motto �� “It’s not a sin to get knocked down; it’s a sin to stay down” �� can be found on the watch’s stainless steel caseback, whilst the bronze used for the case, crown and bezel pays tribute to the dive helmets used during his era. As with every bronze watch case, this one will develop a?vintage looking patina over time.The Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition is based on the

5711 steel
Forget about paying a 12-15k premium on the watch.... we don't even see them for sale anymore!! LOL.

my brief adventure to HSWA
In comparison to various Rolex(s) i own, the rotor 'whir' from my 5671 is very noticeable. I can hear the whir from about a foot away in a normal office environment. Not knowing if this is normal to this particular movement, I called HSWA. The person I spoke with on the phone asked me to bring it in so they can check to see if everything is in order.. the rotor might be off the rack (whatever that means).As most of you probably already know, after 9/11 most office buildings in NYC require visitors to present a photo ID. Unfortunately I left my wallet home today. Fearing a wasted trip (took morning off from work), I half jokingly offered the security guards my daytona as collateral. They laughed but shook their heads. Grasping at straws, I then asked them to call HSWA if they can send someone down to pick up the watch. To my surprise, an older gentleman (British) in a nicely fitted suit came down to talk to me. He then asked the guards if they mind him escorting me up.Unlik
