So... like most of us, I get junk emails from watch retailers. I usually just delete them, but one this afternoon caught my eye when I recognized the symbol of the Galactic Empire. Somehow, amidst all of the 8.72 trillion limited editions from my favorite maison, I missed this one from Oris. a brand I haven't ever fallen for. Other than another limited edition Okavango Air Rescue watch that I've looked at a few times, nothing in the catalog really aligns my warp core.

This almost did. Not enough to pull the trigger, but it's different and nerdy and quirky.

Just sharing. Wondered how many other Star Wars nerds were here. (If you want to call me out for the mix of Star Trek and Star Wars with the "warp core" reference, you just proved you're a fellow nerd, so... welcome aboard!)

I kinda like the look unto itself minus the star war reference. I have no problem with Star Wars or Star Trek but I am internally conflicted that Jean Luc Picard may have been better than captain James Tiberius Kirk but that is just a struggle I must face alone in this cruel world and if I am looked down upon for admitting I have those thoughts so be it.
Back to the watch, I see the 43.5mm and I’m thinking it would be too blingy, unless by some weird chance it’s a small lug to lug but I’m not getting that vibe.

I wonder if the caseback has an engraving of the flux capacitor..

The listing emailed to me is brand new, unworn, stickers intact, box & papers... $1570 US shipped. So... no. In any case, as much as I love Star Wars, that watch isn't calling out that loudly. It obviously wasn't flying off the shelves at $2,700 US, the Oris price.

Edit: i see the one posted here is bracelet AND rubber strap, so it's a better deal considering.

To answer one question; No, probably will not be adding this to the collection.

But this should answer the later question…

and yea, one pair to wear and these for the vault. 😉
