Celebrating Carl Brashear, his unwavering determination, and strength of will – this Oris Divers Carl Brashear Chronograph is a unique timepiece from a limited edition of 2000 watches.
Why we love it
This special, limited edition Oris Divers was created in 2018 in conjunction with the Carl Brashear Foundation in honour of Carl Brashear, a legend who inspired millions of people with his indomitable will and incredible talent as a master diver in the U.S. Navy.
This is the Oris Divers Carl Brashear Chronograph 01 771 7744 3185-SET LS that manifests Brashear’s inspiring character through a well-designed case back featuring the engravings of a dive helmet and his encouraging words – “It’s not a sin to get knocked down; it’s a sin to stay down.” Besides that, it has a captivating blue dial echoing the calmness of the sea contrasted by Superluminova indices and hands. At 3 and 9 o’clock, the two sub-registers take control of the timepiece, further elevated by an engraved rotating bezel. Simplicity and elegance score maximum points here, making this timepiece a truly versatile beauty.
Smitten by its aura, if you like to wear this watch every day, you certainly can. With the aid of a robust bronze case, 100 metres of water resistance, and the very capable calibre 771 that provides a 48-hour power reserve, the Ref. 01 771 7744 3185-SET LS is a reliable smasher to adorn your wrist. Oris’ ingenuity is put on display with this limited-edition Divers as it encapsulates Carl Brashear's attitude of never giving up most beautifully.
This Oris Divers Carl Brashear Chronograph 01 771 7744 3185-SET LS boasts an overall very good condition with a few minor scratches on the case back. Please note that the straps show visible signs of use.
Provenance
At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
