Oris Presents RAID 2013 Chronograph Limited Edition Timepiece

Swiss watchmaker Oris, which is the official timekeeper and watch partner of RAID car rally, has released a limited novelty RAID 2013 Chronograph.
Originally, the RAID rally was organized by the French car manufacturers to test their quality in Africa. But in the early of 90s RAID reformatted into the rally for vintage cars built before 1975. The scenic route of the race, 600 miles long, is stretching from Basel to Paris.
The novelty RAID 2013 Chronograph Limited Edition is presented in a round case with a diameter of 44 mm stainless steel. Water-resistant - 50 meters. The black dial features white Arabic numerals, pointers at the 12, 6 and 9 o’clock positions, the date aperture - at the 6 o’clock position. The markers and hands are coated with white luminescent compound. On the dial, there are design elements of the dashboard, which won the rally last year - Jaguar 420, of 1967.

An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the case on the top. The back cover is engraved with the «RAID Suisse-Paris» logo.
The new RAID 2013 Chronograph Limited Edition watch operates on the base of the Swiss automatic caliber Oris 775 (base caliber Sellita SW500), on the 26 jewels, with a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, 40-hour power reserve, and functions of hours, minutes, seconds, date, day of the week and chronograph.
The novelty comes on a black leather strap with a folding clasp in stainless steel. Watches are sold in a wooden box. The price of the novelty - 3,500 Swiss francs.
