Every Minute Counts With\u00a0The Oris Dive Control Limited Edition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oris<\/a> have released their latest Limited Edition timepiece, in the from of the Oris Dive Control Limited Edition<\/a>. Following on from last years Movember limited edition<\/a>, and the\u00a0TT1 Engine Date<\/a>, the Dive Control is a watch targeted at reaching new depths with professional divers.<\/p>\n

The Oris Dive Control has been created with a lightweight, black DLC-coated titanium case, and is the ideal professional divers watch. One of the most precise, most legible watches that the Swiss watchmakers have ever produced, which is saying something! Most standard chronograph watches will feature a 30 minute counter, whereas the Oris Dive Control has a full 60-minute counter, which is highlighted by the yellow detailing on the 12 o’clock sub-dial.<\/p>\n

This piece is limited to only 500 pieces, and comes as part of a box-set, with an additional yellow rubber strap, to replace the black rubber strap that is fitted to the watch as standard, if desired. The 51mm case of the Dive Control houses the\u00a0Rotation Safety System innovation, and the automatic winding chronograph movement, which is all water resistant to a level of 100ATM (1000m).<\/p>\n

This model is available to purchase now from our site here<\/a>, but with extremely limited availability, make sure to be quick before stock runs out!<\/p>\n

Technology Innovations – RSS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Oris Dive Control Limited Edition has been developed in partnership with Swiss commercial diver, Roman Frischknecht, who has spent the best part of his working life deep underwater, servicing the subsea industry. Working closely with Roman, Oris have been able to develop their patented RSS, or Rotation Safety System, which is a prominent feature on every ProDiver, and has been created to lock a watches dive bezel securely in place whilst under the water.\u00a0This innovative device has become an Oris signature.<\/p>\n

1. Activating the Rotation Safety System<\/b><\/p>\n

In order to activate RSS, you must firstly hold the\u00a0bezel\u2019s black vulcanized rubber edge and lift it outwards. This will release the RSS\u2019s lock and the bezel\u2019s black ceramic minutes scale top ring. When properly activated, you will be able to see a yellow ring appear around the edge of the top ring. of the bezel.<\/p>\n

2. Setting the timer<\/b><\/p>\n

Now that you have the yellow ring visible, you must rotate the top ring anti-clockwise in order to align the number to correspond with your desired dive time with the watches minute hand.<\/p>\n

3. Securing the time<\/b><\/p>\n

Next, once you have everything lined up as you desire, you must push the top ring down until it clicks into place. The timer is now set, and secured in place, which means that it is now ready to begin diving with confidence!<\/p>\n

Created With Swiss Diver Roman Frischknecht<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As previously mentioned, the Dive Control Limited Edition, and the RSS more specifically were thought up with the help of professional diver\u00a0Roman Frischknecht. Roman has spent a large portion of his life in the water, working in the most extreme conditions, often spending days at a time deep underwater! For the Oris Ambassador,safety is second nature.<\/p>\n

As a commercial diver, Roman is often required to spend large portions of time under water, occasionally reaching depths of 180 meters when required, with work on oil rigs and off diving ships. Diving is an extremely physically and mentally challenging job, with different obstacles to cross every time you dive. Some dives can last almost a month, with a large portion of this time being spent in a\u00a0pressurized chamber breathing in helium-enriched air\u00a0to avoid daily decompression.\u00a0This is known as saturation diving, and in this unique environment it is crucial that you are kitted out with reliable and high quality equipment that will not let you down.<\/p>\n
