Oris: The story of how we restored a bronze watch (2021)

After five years of heavy use, this Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition’s natural bronze case had oxidised to the point it needed refurbishing. Bronze ages naturally, taking on a characterful hue and never returning to its original state. Back at our Hölstein factory, our watchmaker disassembled it and carefully cleaned and restored it, piece by piece. The results are simply stunning… /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ►PRODUCT INFORMATION Model: Carl Brashear Limited Edition Ref.
