Last year, Oris launched a re-edition of their iconic Chronoris, the watch that took the traditional Swiss watch brand into motorsport in 1970. This re-launch model, the Chronoris date model became an instant hit.

In 2018, the Chronoris series returns in a new limited edition run of just 200 pieces. The new model features a high-performance 1/4 of a second chronograph with vertically arranged 30-minute and 12-hour counters, and is distinguished by its orange elements, a design detail lifted from the original.

Crafted from stainless steel, the fluid, retro case comes on either a dark brown leather or rubber strap, or a 1970s-inspired stainless steel metal bracelet. Each piece is delivered in a vintage leather pouch, complete with a NATO strap and a strap-changing tool.
