The Oris Carl Brashear Chronograph is stylish, elegant, and uniquely made. It celebrates the inspiring life and legacy of Carl Brashear, the first African American man to serve in the US Navy, who later became a Master Diver as an amputee. The watch is beautifully crafted from pristine bronze, the same material used in diving gear in the seventies.
This limited edition timepiece comes with a demure blue dial and a generous 43mm case. The 771 automatic movements of the hands are based on Sellita SW 510, known for having a 48-hour power reserve. The steel case at the back of the watch has an engraving of a diver’s helmet under the quote “It’s not a sin to get knocked down, it’s a sin to stay down,” attributed to Brashear.
