Oris Artix GT Chronograph

The Oris Artix GT Chronograph is the latest addition to build on Oris’ motor sports heritage. The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, with chronograph function and date.

The two-piece dial, with a matt black dial ring and a Tachymeter scale, is assembled in the case with both minute and hour counters, along with applied indexes.

Perhaps the most interesting and novel feature is the retrograde mechanism, which allows the small seconds to build like the RPM counter in a racing car.

The watch is powered by the Swiss automatic ETA calibre Valjoux 7750, seconds and hours are at 12 and 6 o’clock and the special, smaller seconds RPM style display is at 9 o’clock. Turn the watch over and you can see all the gear trains in action through the skeleton case back.

The polished nickel hands are finished with Superluminova inlay, which stands out against the dark backdrop of the watch.

Water-resistant to 100m, the Oris Artix GT Chronograph comes on a rubber strap with folding clasp, a fine balance between sport and elegance, designed as a versatile timepiece for business or leisure.
