Oris Williams Chronograph

Oris has announced the Williams Chronograph Carbon Fibre Extreme, made using an Oris-patented manufacturing technique never before seen in watchmaking, according to the brand.

The watch’s case is made of carbon fibre and titanium, though this particular carbon fibre is unique. Oris has developed and patented a carbon fibre manufacturing technique derived from processes used by Oris’s long-standing Formula 1 partner Williams.

Oris’s technique has been designed to exploit the full potential of carbon fibre, and it delivers three key benefits. The first two are rigidity and water-tightness. The third is in post-production, where Oris’ technique overcomes costliness.

Completing the Williams Chronograph Carbon Fibre Extreme case are polished, black-DLC-coated titanium elements, including the bezel, crown, push buttons and screwdown case back.

The watch is fuelled by Oris Calibre 674, a

modified version of ETA’s ultra-reliable 7750 calibre.
