A diver with an inspiring personality<\/h1>\n

We have already spoken about this model in a previous blog post<\/a> so you might have seen it before, I’ll give you a hint to see if you can get it… Karl Brashear. This is the second mondel that international Swiss watch brand Oris have released to pay homage to this incredibly inspiring national hero. Karl Brashear was a famous U.S Navy diver who defied all odds to become a record holder and national hero. This second release is a stunning limited-edition bronze watch dedicated to Master Diver Carl Brashear.<\/p>\n

Karl Brashear was probably one of the best divers of the twentieth century, he fought racial discrimination to become the first African-American Master Diver in U.S. Navy history. He accomplished all of this with only one leg due to losing it in the line of duty. If you visit the Oris stand at Baselworld<\/a> you can see this incredible new model premiering over the duration of the show. Carl Brashear also had his inspirational story turned into an amazing film called \u201cMen of Honour<\/a>\u201d. The new watch features a 43-millimetre-diameter case which has been manufactured from genuine bronze so each and every watch will have a different exposure and become truly individual over time. Also you can be part of the exclusive homage as this watch is a limited edition of 2,000 timepieces.<\/p>\n
