A tasteful homage to the memory of a great ballplayer, and an even greater humanitarian.
This is my first Oris and I love it. I had been looking into Oris watches since getting more serious the past 6 months but had hesitated to up my game due to the price point. But, ...view moreonce I saw this Roberto Clemente Limited Edition online, I was smitten. I was vacationing at a beach house in mid-September, escaping the hazardous air quality from the Oregon wildfires, and decided to order this. Very glad I did. I wasn’t actively looking to buy another watch, but Roberto Clemente was one of my favorite baseball players growing up. Even though I was only 11 years old when Roberto Clemente died tragically in a crash of an overloaded plane with aid to Puerto Rican hurricane victims in 1972, my admiration for him has remained strong all these years. I can’t say the same for any other ball player and I had many favorites during my youth.
The watch is beautiful, and feels beautiful on my wrist. It feels like it was made for my wrist. I don’t want to take it off. In the 5 days I’ve worn it since it arrived it has gained about one second total against the World Clock (timeanddate.com). This is my most accurate watch compared to automatics from Orient and Glycine and quartz movements from Tissot. I wasn’t sure I would like the Big Crown, but I love it. On my wrist the crown size compliments the coin edge bezel perfectly. And it is so easy to use compared to much smaller crowns.
Clemente finished his MLB career with exactly 3,000 hits (only the 11th player to reach this milestone at that time), spanning 18 seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates. With this glorious tribute from Oris, Roberto Clemente has his 3,001st hit, a home run! view less
