Oris BC4 flight timer
Hi guys. Anybody has experience with Oris watch? I saw a Oris BC4 flight timer for sale in oversea, less than S$2k after sale and tax refund. The shape of the watch was unique but the quality I am not too sure cos the last piece in the shop was spoilt. So if anybody has anything to share about Oris watch, please share or rant here. Thanks! :lol:

...I got her an Oris 5-6 yrs back & it has been her daily watch ever since.
Her skin is sensitive to s/s so she can't wear a bracelet watch & leather strap buckle area has to be anti-allergic type, means, the buckle area has an additional small leather patch which the buckle sits on so when she's wearing the watch, the strap buckle does not comes directly into contact with her skin,, if not, rashes will develop :|

Bro,
Is "storey" not "story"
Is amazing to drop 3 storeys and nothing happened.
Re: Oris BC4 flight timer
yeah, she was stepping into the lift, at the same time putting on the watch but so heng, the watch slipped out of her hands & so HENG, dropped in between the gap of the lift shaft where the door is and the whole watched freefall-ed 3 stories below.She called me & told me what happened, I told her 'your watch sure gone-f**k liao'
in the end, she called the lift maintenence guy & paid $50 fee for the guy to go down to the bottom of the lift shaft to retrieve her watch.
Surprisingly, the watch was as it is, no dings/scratch to the crystal.
I can't believe it myself when I inspected the watch at night :shock:
@ Ed: I bought her an anti-allergey strap, there's an extra piece of leather covering the buckle :mrgreen:

Whoa! Real life field report! Shoot man...! I should had got the ORIS Chrono in the previous DICKSON sale sia... :o :o
Re: Oris BC4 flight timer
hers is just a normal 2824 leh, i think chrono movements are more senstitive so I can't guarantee if it really drop from 3 stories,lolbut I am really really amazed that the watch is still working lor :|
or maybe she is so lucky, her watch actually landed on the hard foam at the bottom of the lift shaft? i don't know man..
lol

I like their diver series.
Just tried dropping my G-shocks from 6storey high, not bad. As good as oris
Re: Oris BC4 flight timer
Wah, really tough Oris. :o Guess I'm just unlucky to handle a spoilt one. The movt is a modified ETA 2836, one of the quick set hour button is jammed such that even if u pull the crown and turn, the hour hand is stucked. Well, lucky that I save some $$$. :D

Re: Oris BC4 flight timer
IWC and ORIS buy movement from Sellitas in recent years, mod to claim it's their own in-house.http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/873745/+1940#"http://www.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=3762999&extra=&page=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.discuss.com.hk/viewthread.php?tid=3762999&extra=&page=1" false;
