Bangkok--3 Nov--Trocadero group
Oris has given its legendary BC3 pilot's watch a sporty new look for 2016. Part of the Oris collection since 1999, the BC3 is one of a long line of historically important aviation pieces made by the independent Swiss company that goes back to the original Big Crown of 1938. The new BC3 brings the Oris pilot's watch story right up to date.
The flagship piece in the new line-up is the BC3 Advanced Day Date with a stealthy gunmetal grey PVD-coated stainless steel case. It comes on either a beige textile or black rubber strap.
The dial is grey with special 'light old radium' Super-LumiNova® hour markers. The same material has been used to fill the white hour and minute hands, while the second hand is black with a white tip. This package has been carefully considered by Oris's designers to create a watch that's clearly legible both during the day and at night, in keeping with the traditions of the pilot's watch's practical aesthetic.
Much of the watch's robust look comes from the protectors that flank the screw-in crown. The watch is water-resistant to 10 bar/100 metres, even with its glass case back, which provides a view of Oris's automatic Calibre 735 and its trademark Red Rotor. The movement provides the watch with day and date indication in two windows stacked at 6 o'clock like an instrument panel in an aircraft cockpit.
As well as the gunmetal grey version, the new BC3 Advanced Day Date is also available in steel with a striking blue dial, or in below-the-radar black-DLC-coated steel with a black dial.
Over the last two decades, Oris's BC3 has become one of the most recognisable pilot's watches on the market, thanks to its functional, fit-for-purpose aesthetic and reliability under pressure.
