I’ve long been a fan of Oris – an Oris watch was my first ever Swiss watch. Since then I’ve gone on to own many fine Swiss watches. Although I own several sports watches (Suunto and Breitling being two of them) I wanted to buy another one. I chose the Oris TT3 Chronograph and am really glad I did.
Wearing is believing. One can only appreciate the TT3 Chronograph by Oris when it is worn. It’s incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s lightweight,Jaeger LeCoultre Replica, thanks to its titanium casing and feels warm on your skin because of its rubber strap. By comparison,zenith watches,Patek Philippe Replica, my Breitling feels like I’m wearing a shackle.
Apart from the Oris TT3 watch being incredibly light, I also love the dial and its size. The dial is carbon fiber with the chronograph functionality. The dial is both captivating and classic. Even thought the watch is a Chronograph the dial isn’t cluttered or overdone. The dial of a watch should stand the test of time. The design should be subtle and elegant, which I think the TT3 certainly is. The size of the dial is 42.5mm – not too large – the design is clean, with large and immediately readable hands and indices. The hands are simple silver pointers and some of the indices have been painted red – the combination of black,Seiko Replica, silver and red is pure class.
There are two sub dials at the 12 and 6 o’clock position. They are additional second and minute counters for the chronograph function. All the 3 chronograph hands have bee painted red at the tips.
If I have a criticism of the Oris TT3 Chronograph watch it is the lack of a second hand. I really like seeing a watch count away the seconds – the second hand is like the beating heart of a watch. Also, the lack of this second hand does make checking the movement accuracy more difficult ? instead of working in seconds,Louis Vuitton Replica, I now estimate partial minutes by observing the distance of the minute hand between the minute markers.
