Oris: This watch is ready for take-off again (2022)

Our collaboration with Rega, the iconic Swiss air rescue service, goes back a long way. Years ago, we used to make mechanical watches for them with ‘Manufactured by Oris’ on the case back. Today, they’re very rare. Michael bought his directly from Rega, but when it came to refurbishing it, he brought it back to us. If we made a watch, we’ll always try and restore it – a mechanical watch is designed to last a lifetime. The watch needed a lot of work. As well as a full case and rubber strap refurbishment, we replaced the crown and gaskets. And now it’s ready for take-off again.
