I just picked mine up today! For your hard-earned dollar, you get:

- A nicely-finished bronze case
- Exhibition caseback with a pretty good-looking movement
-cool vintage markers (especially the 4) without the faux patina
-a beautiful, warm green dial
-a cool red-tipped pointer date
-quick release strap

I’m also really warming up to Oris as a brand. They have a nice long history, and they withstood the Swatch takeover and subsequent butchering of the company to re-emerge as a brand that offers up quality watches accessible to a wider audience.

You succinctly and articulately describe what drew me to the brand. Great watch, solid value, and a very colorful history, including some near brushes with death as a company.
