Swiss watch brand Oris introduces the Hammerhead Limited Edition, a special edition watch to raise funds for a shark conservation project run by the non-profit organisation Pelagios Kakunjá, and supported by Oris ambassador and professional diver Jérôme Delafosse.
The Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition is based on the second generation Aquis collection, also launched this year. The new line picks up on the spirit and design DNA of the original 2011 Aquis, bringing the same high-performance together with a more stylish silhouette. The new Aquis has a visually lighter feel than its predecessor. But it still offers a uni-directional rotating bezel with a black ceramic inlay, and water resistance to 50 bar (500 metres). The Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition is powered by Oris Cal. 752, an automatic movement with big day and date indications at 3 o’clock.
The Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition’s stainless steel case back is embossed with a hammerhead shark and the limited edition number. Limited to 2,000 pieces, the Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition reflects the colour of the ocean with a blue central seconds hand and a blue minutes scale around the outer edge of its grey dial. The case back is embossed with a hammerhead shark and the limited edition number.
The Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition comes in a special presentation box with an insignia of a hammerhead shark. This timepiece is available with a stainless steel bracelet or a black rubber strap. The Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition goes on sale in June 2017, priced at CHF 2,550.
