Oris unveils Audi Sport Limited Edition II

DUBAI, August 17, 2015

Oris, the official watch partner of Audi sport teams, has come up with the second edition of its Audi Sport collection, dedicated to the Audi R18 e-tron quattro, featuring its silhouette on the case back.

After winning the endurance event at Le Mans an unprecedented 12 times, Audi once again took gold in 2014, with the Oris-sponsored Audi R18 e-tron quattro, which was piloted to victory by a team including Swiss driver and Oris Ambassador, Marcel Fässler.

Like Audi Sport’s high-tech cars, the Oris time piece is engineered to be as light and as strong as possible, and is packed with a series of innovative features, said a statement.

Aimed at drivers looking to keep track of race start times, the watch has an automatic chronograph, powered by Oris Calibre 778, which features a 10-minute countdown.

Another great feature is the Oris-developed retrograde small seconds at 9 o’clock, which takes its design cues from the dashboard instruments of modern race cars.

Oris has given its new Audi Sport timepiece a stealthy all-black look: its case is cast in lightweight titanium and PVD coated in black DLC; it has a black dial; and the bi-directional rotating bezel has a scratch-resistant black ceramic insert engraved with a minute scale. Eye-catching red central seconds and sub-dial counter hands protect the watch’s legibility.

The Oris Audi Sport Limited Edition II will be worn by Audi Sport drivers during the 2015 season, and is limited to 2,000 pieces. It has been available since June. - TradeArabia News Service
