Re: New Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III
Is it a blue dial with a green bezel? Might be interesting but we need to see real life pics.

Nice. The Aquis is a watch that I've always liked but never tried one.

I could do without the sub seconds on this one, but the Aquis I have tried on at events have always impressed.

Looks like another beauty from Oris Terry ! Like James said, the bezel
looks green too compared to the blue dial ! ..Not sure if it's just because of the
matte finish, but if it is green that would be a cool curve ball.
Either way, it's home run ! ..Thanks very much sir !!!

Re: New Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III
Oris is a personal favorite “affordable” of mine. The Aquis is great but I’ve found I just can’t vibe with prop lugs. Instant flip for me

Oris has a few for Basel this year that are great. I like both of these.
Re: New Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III
On the GMT, I assume they have both the inner 24 ring and the outer 24 hour bezel so you can track three separate time zones, but I just find it busy. I'd like it a lot better if they got rid of the inner ring. The colors on that one look particularly good.

Re: New Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III
I agree this is the pick of the litter looks wise, but I would do kind of the opposite regarding the 24 hour scale. I'd keep the scale on the dial (given you already have 4 hands running, so the extra scale isn't that much more confusing) and I would replace the 24 hour scale on the bezel with an elapsed time diver's bezel.
I mean, it is a 300M rated dive-style watch, so you might as well be able to use it for diving. Plus, I actually use the elapsed time bezel for a bunch of stuff other than diving. I find timing bezels a very useful feature and I have yet to ever be concerned with a 3rd time zone despite years of business travel. Home and local are the only two I ever find myself referencing.

Re: New Oris Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III
Oris just seems to keep plugging away making semi-affordable watches that, for the most part, look good. They have a few odd models here and there, but most of the stuff is pretty good.
