Oris Begins In-House Watch Movement Production With The Calibre 110
Oris is one our of favorite Swiss watch brands when it comes to offering a durable, useful design in a relatively affordable package. We especially like their sport watches including racing chronographs and of course divers. Until now most people know Oris as a company that sources movements from other Swiss companies to put into their watches. There is nothing wrong with that, but for 2014 Oris¨Clike many others these days¨Cis beginning to produce watches with their own movements, starting with the Calibre 110.To be fair, this isn't the first movement Oris has produced, though it is the first under the current ownership and modern era of the brand. Oris as a brand was formed in 1904 and from then until 1981 is said to have produced a total of 229 in-house made movement types. In 1982, Oris stopped making full movements but kept on making modules that would got over other movements. In recent years all base movements have been Swiss ETA or Sellita. For 2014 Oris returns to a fully in-ho

Picked up a new Eco-Drive
I just got my third Citizen Eco-Drive, a model BN0032-59E. It is the same model that foghorn just bought but with a green bezel and gold tone bracelet. I like it for how dressy it looks but it is also a diver WR to 300M.Russ

The Swatch Group Classification
I was looking at this site: swatchgroup and found the classification that the "group" make for their brands...Honestly I thought that Hamilton was over Tissot, and not in the same rangeAlso I thought that Longines was somehow the same in quality as Omega, but it's a step below...Check it out if you didn't already knew this

Speedmaster Pro - 3570.50 vs new 005
Hello all,I was wondering if there was a clear difference, or preference if you will, between the classic 3570.50 and the current new Speedy Pro (reference ending in 005). Aside from the nice presentation (suitcase) box set and screwed in links, would you prefer to have one over the other and why?The reason I ask is that I have a mid 2000's 3570.50 and was offered a newer 005, 3 months old, LNIB. All things considered, which would you choose and would you flip one?

I rarely get this excited about getting something in the mail...
