Oris Watch BC3 Review
Wednesday - 15 February 2012
Luxury brand Oris has created a watch to commemorate the Oris Big Crown Air Racing team competing for the first time ever at the renowned Reno Air Races in Nevada.
The team’s pilot Don Vito Wyprächtiger was the first Swiss man to qualify for the event and managed to come second in the Formula Gold Race on his first attempt.
To honour his achievement Oris has created the BC3 watch, limited to just 100 pieces. The watch’s design is inspired by the team’s race plane, The Scarlet Screamer. Made of light titanium, the case weighs 40% less than steel.

The Oris watch also has an additional 24-hour hand so that the wearer can see the time in another time zone. The screw-down crown and water resistance to 100 metres make it a real watch for real pilots the brand said.
