Oriosa Diver Chronograph c.1960s
Oriosa Diver Chronograph c.1960s
The Oriosa two register ref. 2002 chronograph.
Another one of those watches with a great balance of age and aesthetics. This manual wind chronograph from circa later 1960’s showcases the antique white aged subdials encircled by an interstellar appearing dial, thick coin-edge bezel with aged resin insert, and classic case/lugs for diver watches of the period.
The timepiece was a 20ATM design (660 feet/200 meters"), so it is definitely a diving chronograph in design, undoubtedly. Powered by the ever-solid Landeron 248 motor, you’ve got a wonderful platform to sling on your wrist and enjoy.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
