White gold, inlaid with Akoya pearl moon phase. The dial, made from black mother of pearl, large and small diamonds, depicts stars and planets in the Milky Way. The bridge supporting the carriage in the open heart resembles the orbit of a satellite, and the hand, a rocket. The refined rebellion cut diamonds, a cut unique to TASAKI, are used in the crown. The case displays a true sense of Japanese beauty and colour, incorporating another TASAKI original gold, SAKURAGOLD™, a gold with a slightly deeper red hue than conventional pink gold, inspired by Japan's famous cherry blossoms.

ORIS – Carlos Coste IV Edition


ORISCarlos Coste Limited Edition IV NEW

Setting a new standard

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...             BIG FOTO
 
Oris is delighted to introduce the new Carlos Coste Limited Edition IV, a highly functional diver’s timepiece made with freediving in mind. This extreme sport requires the diver to hold their breath for several minutes and – perhaps most importantly – to be fearless enough to push themselves to the limit.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...             BIG FOTO

This is what drives Oris’s long-time brand ambassador and record-breaking free diver Carlos Coste. In 2003 he became the first person to break the 100-metre barrier in the free immersion category, and in 2010 he set a new Guinness World Record by swimming 150 metres through Dos Ojos, a vast underwater cave network in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, on a single breath.

Impressively, he can hold his breath for seven and a half minutes, earning him the nickname ‘El Acuaman Criollo’ (which roughly translates as ‘the natural waterman’) in his native Venezuela.

There’s no one better qualified to test watches underwater, which is why Oris has worked closely with Carlos since 2006. Ahead of his latest record-breaking attempt in 2015, the independent Swiss company is delighted to introduce the new Carlos Coste Limited Edition IV.

The watch’s diving credentials start with a multi-piece 46mm case made from robust yet lightweight titanium. In the murky depths underwater, legibility is hugely important, which is why Oris has equipped the unidirectional rotating top ring with a white Super-LumiNova® minute scale set into the black ceramic inlay to allow the wearer to read the dive time remaining at a glance.

Its black dial has applied indices and hands filled with bright orange Super-LumiNova®, while the sapphire crystal is domed on both sides with anti-reflective coating to minimise glare. The watch is water-resistant to depths of up to 50 bar (500 metres).

Another smart touch is the dark orange dot on the manual helium valve at 3 o’clock, designed to help divers quickly distinguish the valve from the time and date setting crown at 2 o’clock. Inside the watch ticks an automatic movement, which powers a date at 3 o’clock and a small seconds sub-dial between 7 and 9 o’clock.

The watch comes on a black rubber strap – with the option of a titanium bracelet – which features Oris’s ingenious quick adjustment sliding-sledge folding clasp system. Oris has engraved the case back of the Carlos Coste Limited Edition IV with Carlos’s unique emblem, and the watch is limited to 2,000 pieces. It’s another example of Oris’s belief in making ‘real watches for real people.’
