Oris extremely have excelled themselves this time with the introduction of the Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph LE Watch. Created in partnership with free-diving world record holder Carlos Coste, the production of the watch has been limited to only two,000 worldwide. I simply love this diver's watch from Oris and would love to urge my hands on one.
The first issue I couldn't fail to note was that it's a 'lefty' timepiece; the screw-down crown and pushers are located on left side of the case! When taking this in, the following issue you could not fail to notice is just how huge it is; the dimensions of the case is 27 mm (1.eighty five inches) - it's a huge chunk of metal.
The case is created of titanium, that makes it look cool and helps to keep the load of the Carlos Coste Chronograph down. The bezel is unidirectional. The bezel looks like the bezel you get on a number of the Breitling divers watches - it's quite thinner than traditional, which means that that the face of the watch is larger.
The casing is perfectly complemented by the titanium bracelet. I think its nice, easy and chunky style very offsets the watches case and dial. As you'd expect with a significant diver's watch you get an extension which will be used for when you're wearing wetsuits.

This Oris watch comes with a 4.80mm sapphire crystal high glass, that is slightly domed on the surface with an anti-reflective coating on the inside. Combined with Helium valve, the watch contains a diving depth of a thousand meters.
The movement - like several Oris watches - is automatic.
Like I said, this watch from Oris is strictly restricted in numbers. The case back is imprinted with the emblem and signature of Carlos Coste.
But it is the dial of the Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph LE Watch that basically impresses. The dial is painted black with a refined wave pattern print. The hands are chunky and they're coated in placing Superluminova dark orange. The indices and rim of the stop watch seconds dial - at the six o'clock position - also are of Superluminova dark orange.
The dial is busy however the watch gets away with it - I think as a result of of the huge 27 mm dial. You get a show of hours and minutes at the center, a tiny second at the three o'clock position with day and date display at the nine o'clock position.
The titanium combined with black dial with touches of dark orange build this Oris watch visually stunning. There is little doubt that this watch is really visiting be a winner for Oris.
Do I've got any reservations? Not really. Some would possibly say that the watch may be a little too big for everyday wear. However, I prefer sporting giant watches and regularly wear my Suunto Stinger watch and my Breitling Navitimer.
If there was one small flaw with the Oris Carlos Coste watch it may be that the rotor is red - the trademark color of Oris. It'd be thus cool - and would make the watch truly special - if the rotor was in orange to match the hands and indices.
This watch from Oris is really a beautiful timepiece and would positively be a watch I'd love to have in my collection.
