It is always a good thing to discover new brands and their watches. Most of the time we are focused on the big brands and forget the wonders of smaller brands. Today I will introduce a new Swiss brand which they are releasing their first ever watch. Like bigger brands, Ultramarine makes their watch entirely in Switzerland. From the case to the dials to the straps, everything is made and manufactured in Switzerland. Main founder and designer, Lionel Bruneau, has designed a UTC watch, nicknamed the Morse UTC.

The movement used in this UTC is the Eterna Cal. 39 with 65h of power reserve. At first glance, this watch has beautiful colors that attracts the eye. The blue color on the dial has a great finish that shines amazingly in the light or sun. The watch has a water resistance of 100 meters or 330 feet.

What catches my eye most is the back of this watch. For such new brand with little experience in the market they have developed a very beautiful caseback. Engraved on the back is “Intégralement ouvré en Suisse” with its acronym « I.O.E.S. » on the dial. Which translates to English as “Entirely made in Switzerland”.

The price tag of the watch is inspired by Fair Trade. They have published the manufacturing cost which is € 950, and the selling price for the first 100 pieces is € 1,300 excluding tax. The next 200 will be on sale for € 1,600. And the Morse UTC is a limited edition of 300 pieces.

A beautiful things about this brand is that 10% of its profit is donated to NGOs committed to the conservation and protection of marine life. Also, they will provide each customer with a warranty of 3 years.

The name of the brand came to be because it was appealing to founder, Lionel Bruneau. In French, les territoires ultramarins, means overseas territories, represented by the blue.

Oris Chronoris Limited Edition

Over the years Oris has been releasing vintage style watches and the most notable collection, Divers Sixty Five Collection. Today the brand releases a reissued iconic model, the Chronoris. Oris released their first chronograph in 1970 with a typical seventies “pilot’s” or “helmet” case. This watch was also the first to be dedicated to the motorsport world. These watches had a motorsport vibe with typical color combinations and bright orange accents. The production of these motorsport watches was stopped in 2005 due to a crisis. Now in 2018, these renowned Oris watches have come back to the market.

This watch is a true “Chronoris” style, with masculine and robust features and a 1970s style case. The style of these watches are rather bulky and heavy but Oris have redesigned them to be lighter with a 40mm case. The Oris Chronoris Limited Edition is limited to 200 pieces and available either on a perforated brown leather strap, on black rubber or on a steel bracelet.

Some may realize that Oris used the same dial as the Williams 40th anniversary edition, with the only difference having the bright orange accents instead of the dark blue accents. Its a beautiful chronograph with vertically arranged 30-minute and 12-hour counters and no small seconds.

The case features a calibre 673 with a robust self-winding chronograph movement. It has the same specifications as the other Valjoux-equipped watches: 4Hz frequency, 25 jewels and a 48h power reserve. The Oris Chronoris Limited Edition is available at Oris boutiques and is priced at CHF 3,500 on a strap and CHF 3,800 on a metal bracelet.
