This is the one we have been teasing for the last several weeks. The guys had the opportunity to chat with Oris North America CEO, VJ Geronimo. VJ was kind enough to send us the Oris ProPilot X (PPX) and the Oris Divers 65 Chrono (with bronze bezel) to review, and both of those feature in this episode (although the reviews will be up soon on OUR NEW WEBSITE!). In his ten years at the helm of Oris North America, VJ mentioned that the biggest trend in the industry has been the strengthening of the community in recent years. With several websites, blogs, instagram influencers, and of course, podcasts entering the fold. They are one of the few larger Swiss brands that is able to have conversations like this on a regular basis, and we applaud that sense of independence from Oris.We also talk about the new release that is out today, the Oris Carysfort Reef Limited Edition, a new version of the Aquis GMT, which you can also read about on Zeitzwatches.com. From there, the conversation heads towards the independence of Oris as a brand. The two watches we have on loan could not be more different. The Divers 65 line highlights pieces from Oris's past, following the vintage trend of the last several years and is one of the best executions of a vintage feeling modern watch (that BRACELET!). The PPX, with its openworked dial and in-house manual wind movement, showcases what the future could hold for Oris, and VJ hinted briefly that if you like that direction (which we do) we should like some of the other new items that Oris is coming out with this year. The guys also make a few "requests" of dream combinations of Oris watches, some of which are rather interesting.This was such a fun conversation, and it was excellent to have the opportunity to speak with VJ who could not have been more kind to come on the show. We are ALL looking forward to the day we can all get together at a Redbar meet-up and do this again in person!
