Oris Hangang Limited Edition Divers' Watch
Most industries are all about profits, but the horology industry contributes towards many charitable causes. Among them is Oris which has created various partnerships with organizations that mainly promote environmental awareness. Recently they have lent their support to Seoul KFEM who are cleaning up the Hangang River in South Korea. To further celebrate this endeavor they’ve produced a limited edition “Oris Hangang” divers’ watch.
The 43.5mm multi-piece case is made of 316L stainless-steel with a solid case back, which has been engraved with a South Korean map that highlights the Hangang river trajectory.
Mounted to the case is a unidirectional rotating bezel with a green ceramic insert, engraved with a 60-minute top scale. It comes equipped with a steel screw-in security crown. All topped by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. Water-resistance on this watch can reach up to 300 meters (960 feet).
Time is exhibited on a captivating green sunburst finished dial with steel applied hour index markers, followed by a ring of white printed minute markings. This shimmering gradient dial is inspired by the vivid hues of creek waters at the Hangang river’s source.
The watch also has an unusual exposed circular date wheel with white numerals under the central dial section; plus a small seconds, aligned at the 9 o’clock position. The central hour/minute hands and applied indices have all been fitted with white Super-LumiNova inserts, for an enhanced legibility.
