Ik kwam dit nieuw model tegen op instagram. Zeker niet mis van Oris. Mooie kleuren voor €1.700
Rectangular is the case, which measures 25.5mm x 38mm.
This illustrates the range in sizes that are possible with a rectangular case, and also that Oris and Cartier seem to be going for a size and shape that has a unisex appeal
(of course, both Jaeger-LeCoultre and Cartier offer their rectangular watches in an enormous range of sizes, so just about anyone can find whatever it is they’re looking for if they’re set on one of these).
The Rectangular case’s distinguishing characteristic beyond the shape itself would have to be the steps along the case flanks, which give the case a muscular quality and also link it to the decorative flourishes found in watches and jewelry associated with the Art Deco movement.
The Oris Rectangular runs on the Oris 561 Caliber, which is a modified ETA 2671. This is a somewhat rare movement these days, as it’s made in a smaller size to fit in watches that are traditionally marketed toward women, as well as the rare square or rectangular case. It’s still a capable timekeeper though, running in 25 jewels and holding a power reserve for 38 hours in a footprint measuring just 17.2mm in diameter.
