But, if it were me, I'd get the Oris because I like the offset seconds and cleaner look of the dial.
However, the Fortis does have better visibility due to the large numbers/hands plus it has a Day display. The added utility has got to be a bonus.
Still, Oris makes great watches as well and their diver's models are real standouts in terms of style. So, if you like the style and don't mind the lack of illumination (compared to Fortis), then you can't go wrong here either.
Another factor could be resale. In my opinion, its probably easier to sell the Oris, should you choose to do so. This is always a plus since our tastes change all the time and having the option to sell your old stuff is a real benefit.
Just my two cents...

Thanks lorsban - I've had 3 x Fortis is the past I really like 'em, but I'm leaning more towards Oris this time... I was initially attracted to the blue (if only because it uses C3 lume), but now the black/orange is starting to call... reminds me of the Carlos Coste SE they did a few years ago...
Cheers
