The new Oris Carysfort Reef Limited Edition is really something special. Not only is it a gorgeous watch, but it also marks the moment in time Oris may have jumped the pricing shark.

You’ve heard the term, “jumping the shark,” before, right? That moment a previously credible entity goes a little bit too far and alienates its core fanbase? Well, as much as I love Oris (and the Oris Carysfort Reef LE in particular) the price may be a bit much for fans of the brand to swallow.

The term has its roots in the popular TV Show Happy Days. The Fonz, in an attempt to prove his bravery (and, apparently, to showcase actor Henry Winkler’s water skiing skills), jumps a confined shark on water skis. You might think that sounds ridiculous. You’d be right. But it’s also kind of cool. And thus we arrive at my feelings towards the CHF 17,900 price tag of this latest Oris.

The Coral Restoration Foundation


This is the second model produced by Oris to support the Coral Restoration Foundation. Oris has been working with the Foundation since 2014. Together, they are working towards cleaning up the world’s oceans and raising awareness of the very real danger posed by neglecting such essential work. This model is named after Carysfort Reef in Florida. It is the only barrier reef in the USA. Sadly, its existence is under threat. Without the help of the Foundation, its days would surely be numbered.

what's new is old...talking AU here busting out as new even though the ETRUSCANS used it for bridge work... and it has been a permanent store of wealth since man kept written records... and way before

- not warming to it yet...but I am sure if i see enough of it my herd instinct will kick in... I was slow with SLINKY-ETCH-A-SKETCH-HOOLA HOOP-TROLL DOLL-BEANIE BABY ( i think i remember off loading a valuable /scarce 1 before the market collapsed... TULIPOMANIA any body ? )
 
One very impressive, mid size, automatic, three hand, GMT, Pro Diver, from Oris. Dignified, and stylish.:dance2:Thanks Mike.:hat:
