this partnership was established, Oris and Carlos have launched some of
the World’s most technologically advanced diving watches and are now
looking forward to pushing the boundaries even further, developing
innovative timepieces which inspire both watch lovers and diving

Born in Caracas
Venezuela in 1976, Carlos Coste became the first person to break the 100
meter barrier in the free immersion discipline in 2003. Coste held 11
freediving world records. In 2005, he won the first world championship
in constant weight with 105 meters. In 2006 Carlos set the world record
for free diving in the variable weight modality with a mammoth depth of
140 meters in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. Carlos was injured in late 2006
whilst pursuing a world record in the no limits category. He resumed
full training a year later and in 2010, Carlos established a new
Guinness World Record for free diving, by completing a 150 meter
underwater swim using no apparatus through Dos Ojos, a colossal cenote
(cave network) that twists for 31 miles under Yucatan, Mexico.
To
honour Coste’s incredible feat in 2010, Oris launched the Carlos Coste
Limited Edition Cenote Series – the ultimate performance accessory,
which followed the introduction of the Carlos Coste Chronograph Limited
Edition in 2007 and the Carlos Coste Limited Edition in 2006. Oris also
works closely with Carlos in testing and approving the entire range of
diving watches.
