Oris Williams F1 Watches

Oris Williams F1 Review

In the watchmaking world, most sponsorships' greatest success results from the brands' superficialities that decide to partner. A great example is a partnership between Oris and William Grand Prix Engineering that resulted in Oris Williams F1 Collection. Both brands have established a reputation for producing some of the most technically advanced and capable machinery in their fields. And when it comes to watches, they have shown prowess in features, functionality, and aesthetics.

A Brief History of Oris Williams F1 Watches

Oris and Williams F1 team have been partners since 2003. Since then, several developments have been made on their timepieces, giving watch enthusiasts something they can proudly own. However, it was not until 2006 when the first watch linked to a Williams F1 team was released. Specifically, Oris launched a titanium timepiece, which was worn by Nico Rosberg. Rosberg's debut was quite monumental in F1 sports since there are not so many father-son-stories since his father had won the 1982 championship in his first year with Williams F1.

Up until 2018, Oris has released several models under the William F1 collection. The collection comprises the day-date model in steel, the skeleton dialed model, one steel and three carbon fiber cased chronographs, the Special Valteri Bottas limited edition, and the William FW41 limited edition. Oris does not plan to stop at these editions and is poised to find other models based on their collaboration with the Williams F1 racing team. Read on and learn more about the Oris Williams F1 watch collection. 

Oris Williams F1 Watches General Craft

Oris William F1 collections have adopted exceptional craftsmanship that gives them their reputation in the watch industry. Below are different aspects that define their excellent craftsmanship.

Chronographs in the Oris Williams F1 Collection

Any watch collection inspired by motorsport, including the Oris William F1 collection, has to include chronographs. The 44 mm Oris Williams chronographs are powered by the Caliber Oris 774, based on the Sellita SW 500 or the Oris 647 based on the Valjoux/ETA 7750. These two automatic movements are nearly identical since they both include balances of 28,800 half oscillations per hour, 25 jewels, a date display, a stop-second mechanism, and a 48-hour power reserve.

Oris has also equipped their Williams F1 collection with their winding rotor, its trademark. Their rotor is usually red and has the inscription "HIGH MECH."

Oris Williams F1 Collection High-end Aesthetics

Oris Williams F1 collection combines a sporty design with a functional timepiece technology. For instance, the collection's top model, the Valtteri Bottas Limited edition, adopts ultra-light carbon, which draws inspiration from the Formula 1 Williams- Mercedes FW38 race car, which has thousands of carbon parts. The material is light, with only a fraction of the weight of stainless steel or gold watches. 

The Oris Williams Engine Date is a real eye-catcher with its skeletonized dials that offer a view of its movement. With the windows at 3 o'clock for the date and day, the Williams Day-Date is a tidy and straightforward timepiece that any watch lover would like to own.

Valtteri Botta's limited edition currently sits on the top of Swiss Oris "motorsports" watches. Oris made it to honor the Finnish driver Mr. Valtteri Bottas who has been on the Williams F1 team since 2003. The watch model from the non-limited Williams Chronograph Fibre Extreme, although its carbon fiber dial, makes all the difference.

Williams F1 Chronograph Carbon Fibre Extreme

The Williams Chronograph Carbon Fibre Extreme came into the limelight during the Baselworld 2016. The watch represents a subtle appearance and an expression of the essence of Williams F1's spirit. The carbon fiber manifests a case that is five times lighter than stainless steel and twice as stable. It also adds titanium clasps and case backs, which keeps them light. Apart from being super comfortable, the carbon fiber is a real eye-catcher, especially in sunny conditions, when the surface comes alive.
