In the watchmaking world, a few combinations have proved to be formulas of success; one among them is the coming together of watches and automobiles. Furthermore, none is more ubiquitous in the world of motorsports than Formula 1, and every time a watch brand collaborates with F1 teams — it is a story of triumph. In 2003, Oris partnered with F1 team Williams Racing to produce timepieces inspired by the powerful design of the team’s F1 cars. This Oris Williams Chronograph is one of many well-designed and high-performance watches born out of this coalition.

The watch is housed in a 44mm stainless steel case featuring a polished finish. Paired with a knurled crown and ergonomic chronograph pushers, this Oris takes on a striking look that emulates the performance-driven personality of William’s F1 cars. The dial is a classic black with luminous hour indices, discreet tone-on-tone chronograph registers, and a date window. Contrasting touches of white and blue aid legibility and add character, while the tachymeter bezel bolsters the watch’s automotive legacy.

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.
