Watch Of Honor - Oris 65 Automatic Diver Carl Brashear LE Review & Tissot Visodate Watch Unboxing

[@dr.inking5339]

I don't know why everyone complains about the depth rate of the watch. Usually the maximum depth Carl Brashear was going down to 300feet = 91.44meters. If the watch is dedicated to him and to that time, 100 meters is more than enough and really well done.

[@Kiwi_Dad]

Tgv, this has to be one of the most beautiful pieces you have ever reviewed. I guess, I fall into that camp that LOVES the bronze. But so much more than its aesthetic, what this represents is so important and fantastic, what a truly timeless way to honor such achievement. Absolutely love it.

[@JustinMiles17]

"Sometimes I would come back from a run, and my artificial leg would have a puddle of blood from my stump. I wouldn't go to sick bay. In that year, if I had gone to sick bay, they would have written me up. I didn't go to sick bay. I'd go somewhere and hide and soak my leg in a bucket of hot water with salt in it--an old remedy. Then I'd get up the next morning and run." Carl Brashear. The man lives on as an inspiration. Great video T.

[@samuelcuadrado3969]

What a piece of gorgeous art I absolutely LOVE this watch and the fact that it high honors Carl Brashear just takes it to a whole new and way cool dimension. I'm in love!

[@rebelman11]

I bought the white dial Tissot Visodate as my first mechanical watch after watching a video you produced a while back in which you mentioned it. It is awesome! Very good quality for the price in my opinion. It was the starting piece in my now multi piece collection. Thanks for the quality content TGV!

[@haakonfisher2260]

The ORIS looks soo good. With the right weathered leather strap it looks stunning. Great guy and a great movie about him. Now a great watch to carry on his legacy.

[@andrewm5017]

I love!!! The Carl Brashear, it's my favorite watch right now!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Andrew, I don't blame you, something very special. Best regards, TGV

[@andrewm5017]

+The Urban Gentry indeed!

[@raindog951]

Can't wait for the in depth review of the Tissot. That's one of the best looking watches I've seen in a while, I'm saving the cash to get it.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, long over due, it certainly is a stunner. Best regards, TGV

[@marktuyet]

That Oris is gorgeous . It looks vintage right out of the box and with time will look even better . I like the crown and glad they didn't go with crown guards . Nice review TVG !

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@brandonharrison9102]

Thank you TGV for this Review... I've been waiting on this review for quite sometime! Keep up the great work Sir!

[@tcdevotie]

I certainly plan to take mine diving when I do go. 100 m resistance is MORE than enough for anything that doesn't require special mixture of air. A review on aBlogtoWatch actually took this diving for a vacation with zero issues. Great review. I love mine.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Tanner! Best regards, TGV

[@chrisd3829]

that oris blue is beautiful! Great video TGV and YES would love to see a good ol' fashioned duel again! Tissot v Seiko!

[@Leathersladekitchen]

+The Urban Gentry Not sure if it's been mentioned, the other reason for the s/s case back is that bronze will corrode/bond/weld to itself, thus s/s case back, even with a bronze crown it'll have a s/s thread/tube too

[@osemekeugbo999]

MEAN intro gov. friggin awesome !! so gripping !!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much :D Best regards, TGV

[@osemekeugbo999]

Oris 65 Carl.B. This really is one of the most beautiful watches. The aesthetics, the story behind the watch itself, everything about it! I must own one. One day.

[@bearclooneywatches4186]

Carl Brashear was remarkable man! Good review as usual. It will be interesting to see duel between Tissot Visodate and Seiko SARB 033. I have feeling SARB will remain champion, but we will see. Looking forward to it. Sorry that you have to work so hard, but please know that here is one guy that truly appreciate the fact that you produce great content after working all day. I wish I can give more tha one like. But it is from heart!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so Mike, from the heart is always worth so much more ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@zekestone]

Spot on points about the crown protrusion, water resistance and depth rating, I think water resistance is also different from being water proof as well. I think they did sacrifice some functionality for commerciality, valid points about whether you'd wear this show piece whilst diving.

[@blacktornado1999]

The Visodate looks gorgeous, with the black inky dial. Would love to see a comparison between the Visodate and a Tissot Le Locle, since they are practically the same price and each have their own passionate supporters.

[@phantomdrac]

Also owned a tissot V8 with blue and silver accents...such a nicely balanced piece

[@theurbangentry]

LOVE the V8, almost bought one after trying it on in a store many years ago. Great watch for the money. Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@Ruthlessbone]

Men of honor was a fantastic movie. Cuba nailed that role. That ORIS watch is something else. However, I would've liked it more if the strap wasn't just a plain leather strap and add a bit more detail to it. The Tissot watch is such an elegant one!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, totally agree, awesome movie. I would to see it on a rubber strap myself. Best regards, TGV

[@dutzumiho9449]

Thanks TGV for the 1st look at the Visodate. I agree, a comparison with the SARB would be fantastic! I was actually in the market for a dressy watch under $500 to compliment my other dress watch, the SARB065. I strongly considered the Tissot, but I end up with the SARB035 because I did not care for the layout of the Visodate's day and date complication. I thought the day made the dial less symmetrical than the SARB's.

[@RoelfvanderMerwe]

I love that deep blue colour of the dial!

[@theurbangentry]

Me too, so rich and enticing. Thank you Roelf, Best regards, TGV

[@snoweh1]

That bronze looks stunning.

[@alexandrebesson217]

Your intros are always stunning!! Great editing work !! Thumbs up

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you so much Alexandre, Best regards, TGV

[@vee10pfs]

Although I have always liked watches, thanks to you I have become a avid fan of horology, been changing batteries and straps for a while for friends and relatives. But I now feel I need a collection my wallet and wife will not be impressed. I needed a new watch for work and basically copied your F91W & nato strap idea. Such a comfy setup and for peanuts, this my first nato strap and I find it so comfy especially with the featherlight F91W. Just got my first Seiko as well so I am starting at the bottom and working my way up!

[@IcevsFire98]

i had my Visodate on a nomos perlon for the summer and still in love since getting it las jannuary

[@theurbangentry]

OMG Viso on a perlon! YESSS, bet it looks killer. Enjoy, Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@webberfan1234]

I recently purchased a visodate as my first automatic and I love it.

[@ARM-xl4xg]

How weird - was just talking about this watch today....great video bud, and love the entrance to your videos over coffee time 🌟

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you my friend :D Best regards, TGV

[@freshramses]

First Tissot ever that talks to me! What a nice watch!

[@theurbangentry]

Nice! Thank you. Best regards, TGV

[@BroMorris0341]

You're going to make me remind you about badmouthing the wrists aren't you? I thought we had this talk young man. Now for the last time good sir, I'll ask you kindly to not speak on your wrists unless you have something positive to say. They are yours and have served you faithfully since birth. Excellent content as always my brother and I already looked up that Tissot. it's going to be a few paychecks for me but definitely going to be worth it. Hope the healing is still getting better and your rest is increasing. Cheers!

[@ryandarbin6507]

If the Visodate doesn't beat the SARB, I would be surprised. I had the pleasure of borrowing one for a week, and I loved it to bits. The biggest downfall will be the black dial, which tends to be a bit hard to read in direct sunlight. Outside of that, I would wear a Visodate over the SARB any day.

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

The Oris looks great. The Visodste is a nice watch and was one of the first watches I liked the look of.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Bob, well one thing is for certain, you have good taste ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@Eric_Nielsen]

One of my favorite patients is a retired (black) Navy master diver, "Lead Foot". He can't remember names any more. Used to call me "Motrin". After explaining that I was NOT a Navy medic, my new nickname is "7.62" which I quite like.

[@DerpEye]

The Oris , very beautiful watch. That dial is amazing. I think they should've done this in the 40mm like the normal 65.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, OMG if it was 40mm I would buy it myself!!!! Best regards, TGV

[@ianharley7709]

A day/date Tissot 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I'm all over this piece.

[@theurbangentry]

Fantastic, so glad to hear, thank you Isambard, Best regards, TGV

[@amiw3804]

Finally the Visodate, looking forward to the full review. Cheers Tristano.

[@fatshadow2062]

Wow, wasn't expecting to love the look of that Tissot as much as I do. Great. Add it to the list. Thanks a lot, lol.

[@theurbangentry]

So glad to hear :D Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@richardleeke337]

That is a really nice Oris and really stands out with the brass case, it's always nice to see something a little different. I am looking forward to your review of the visodate. I tried one on in an AD a few months back and to be honest I don't know how I resisted the temptation to buy it. It is a gorgeous watch!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Richard, you hit the nail on the head, it certainly is a nice change. Best regards, TGV

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I'm a huge fan of Oris. Glad to see a great review of this model. Thanks:)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, anyone that loves Oris is always welcome here! Best regards, TGV

[@Hgoenge81]

Great video! I'm a huge Oris fan. Got a Prodiver Date and a Big Crown Propilot, and I love them!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kendeng4381]

two amazing pieces, gold episode!!!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Ken, very kind. Best regards, TGV

[@michelecalo1107]

Fantastic video, TGV. Love the Carl Brashear Oris, I agree that 100m WR is too low, but again as you said, I don't think you want to go diving with a 2000 pieces limited edition watch. Steinhart released a bronze version of their ocean watch, and it's just stunning, available in three version and it has exactly the same dimensions as this one, maybe just 1mm thicker. And obviously it's 300m WR. Was not familiar with the Visodate, really stunning. Can't wait to see more about it. Thank you very much! Best regards, Michele.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Michele, spot on as always. Best regards, TGV

[@diegomaraffio1196]

Ciao TGV! The ORIS watches look really good and...The Visodate...wow! It was in the wishlist of mine but I choose SARB035. I wait for the full review and the comparison between them. your style is always great! Ciao, Diego.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Diego :D Best regards, TGV

[@mihamoto]

Nice the Oris, but water resistance is a massive letdown for such heavy diving inspired watch. I like the Tissot very much! Very dressy for an affordable price. good review! thanks!

[@haybob2527]

Let's be honest, most people who buy dive watches don,t go diving myself included. Beautiful watch, well done Oris ..

[@vrg3250]

just bought my own tissot visodate last week so come through with a detailed review soon

[@theurbangentry]

Congrats, enjoy it my friend. Thank you Ravi Best regards, TGV

[@sk8brdninja746]

Against that bronze, the engraving really pops! Awesome watch.

[@theurbangentry]

Yes! Absolutely, spot on, Thank you SN. Best regards, TGV

[@carloscerritos7748]

Excellent video TGV, that Tissot it's beautiful.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Carlos! :D Best regards, TGV

[@OFD]

Great video. I love the Oris 65, but was immediately turned off by the depth rating. I've since reconsidered this. The original diver was only designed for 50 fathoms (just over 98 meters). We just love 200m. The watch is beautiful in bronze, and recognizes a legendary diver. Very cool. The Tissot is beautiful. The dial immediately reminded me of my Verizon 1 Bambino. Very retro cool watch. Love that leather strap. Have a good one!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Aron, always love hearing your feedback, specially as you are a "diver" watch guy, aaaah yes the first Bambino! That watch really is the ultimate fashion mall watch killer right??!?! ;-) Best regards, TGV

[@Wvk5zc]

That Oris looks good on your wrist, TGV!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@edwardgordillo4577]

The Tissot Powermatic 80 Chronometer is on my watch list. great vid again TGV! keep up the great work (:

[@theurbangentry]

LOVE LOVE LOVE that watch :D Thank you Edward, Best regards, TGV

[@stu632]

I know that Oris said they put 100 on it because of the bubble sapphire, they said it can go further but restricted it just to be sure.

[@hellotabasco]

love that version of the Oris 65!!! nice video, thanks a lot for the review! keep the good work! cheers!!!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you H :D Best regards, TGV

[@Shakespeer90]

Tgv great video as usual . Your talent makes the watches seem much better btw .. Cheers mate

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@mikemantho9426]

My first Swiss mechanical and the watch that started the craze for me! I have the silver dial with the brown croc strap and I feel it is even nice than the black dial version. Can't wait to hear your review.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Mike, what a great place to start btw. Best regards, TGV

[@joaovitoramaralsilva9745]

Its weird that a watch that is a homage to a diver has such a small water resistance. But its a very beautiful and interesting watch. The history of Carl Brashear is really fascinating, the movie is definately a must-see! My regards my friend!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Joao, he is an absolute legend! I think I am going to have to re-watch the film soon.. Best regards, TGV

[@davidwaller6369]

Loved that Tissot, beautiful, I WANT ONE!!!

[@paulballantine4614]

That Tissot Visodate is beautiful

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@gboyce975]

I'd like to see a comparison between this watch and Black Bay Bronze.

can't wait for the visodate full review

[@theurbangentry]

Up now! Thank you :D Best regards, TGV

[@lennybolo]

+The Urban Gentry wow!! that was fast!!!))

[@flow2tech]

That oris is my next piece... The stainless version and blue dial tho... Awesome!

[@theurbangentry]

Great choice Trevor, something very special, I hope you get one. Thank you. Best regards, TGV

[@rodrigomussak]

I really liked the Visodate. Cheers, TGV.

[@DavesWatchLove]

The Tissot is a great watch, but it comes completely alive on a milanese bracelet. I chose this over the SARB because of its 60's vibe.

[@theurbangentry]

Ohhhhh I can totally see that!!!! Thank you, Best regards, TGV

[@fredso]

Good video to watch before i go to school! cheers from Sweden! :)

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, LOVE SWEDEN!!!!! Best regards, TGV

[@XDemonicBeastX9]

I kinda want one of those Tissot's now... Thanks TGV!!!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, they are totally worth it, but I will give it a few weeks, see how it fairs. Best regards, TGV

[@XDemonicBeastX9]

But I'm saving for my black bay!!

[@Cougar139tweak]

@ 1:25 Have to love it! a man with a grasp upon watch history regardless of the era :D Very grounded, Bravo sir!! Great stuff as always TGV, I'm keeping my gravers sharp for our future collaboration, let me know if I need to source the Knife or if you have something specific in mind Guvna' :D P.S. @ 3:27 JEEZUS look at all those service stripes, goes to show in the Navy being Salty is as just as important, perhaps even more so then Rank!!!

[@billk6863]

I have the white faced Tissot with a brown strap and i really enjoy wearing it, i'd be interested to see a duel with the SARB, I suspect it would be very close. BTW I really enjoy the vids, keep them coming!

[@RLBuckner]

That is a beautiful visodate! I also like the T52142113.. Thanks, RB

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Robert, love that one too!!! :D Best regards, TGV

[@anthonyandrades4264]

So far out of my comfort zone, but dayum that Visodate had my eyes a poppin'

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Anthony, Best regards, TGV

[@eetulahti3223]

Please review the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro in Bronze

[@NicolaPoluzzi]

I love the Oris and its colour combination between the gorgeous bezel and the dark blue dial! On the other hand, I'm not sure about the Tissot. I think the dial is really beautiful, but the case proportions looks a bit odd, in my humble opinion. It looks like it is a bit too thick, but I can't understand if that is really the case. I can't wait to see the full review of it!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Nicola, Best regards, TGV

[@rossyeadon8843]

Loving the tissot some much. I will be buying the winner of the duel between the sarb and the tissot so bring it on!

[@theurbangentry]

Nice! Hopefully will be up early next week. Thank you Ross, Best regards, TGV

[@gardehusar24]

LOVE the look of this and the bronze. But I would never wear it because it would patina...

[@johnprice909]

Bronze is a very interesting material. I have a Dino Zei Nautilo in bronze and it's aged/patinated beautifully. Also, if you want to refresh it, a quick polish with something like Simichrome Poly will get it back to nearly new. Between the bronze and the deep blue dial the Oris is a nice looking watch. Nice of Oris to create such a tribute to Mr Brashear. That Tissot is a looker isn't it? They provide such a lot of watch for the money. Oh and it doesn't look too big on you. Another fun video TGV. Ciao, John

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you John, knew you would like them! :D Best regards, TGV

[@samkuang3100]

I really like the Oris Carl Brashear for what it stands for! Too bad about the water resistance but it is still a great watch!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Sam, Best regards, TGV

[@jeremycorrao]

Great video! The Oris is a nice looking watch but I think it should have been at least 200m water resistant. The Tissot is very sharp looking!

[@bmjengland4966]

The Tissot is looking very nice indeed! Sarb & Tissot Duel will be very interesting!! I think more expensive watches are not up to this Tissot!! As for the Oris, not my style but the Oris quality you can clearly see is there. Really Good Video! Nice One TGV! BMJ ENGLAND!

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Benjamin. Just out of interesting, which would you pick from the SARB and Tissot? :D Best regards, TGV

[@ryanmead3939]

Hi tgv great vid and review, the oris lovely, but the tissot very nice, cant wait to see it go head to head with the sekio, keep up the good work, keep smiling, and forever ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, all the best your friend Ryan.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you Ryan. Your comments always make my day! Best regards, TGV

[@wolferwolfer8744]

excellent review on d beautiful oris.... sadly too expensive for me..... great review TGV

[@sbsb4995]

You finally talked about a real watch.

[@augustsingmuang8666]

Great video TGV, what's your wrist size? And does the SKX007 fit you well? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one.

[@arthurscargill8010]

Having seen it in the flesh, I'm on the fence with the Carl Brashear, especially at the price it's being sold at. In a way you're buying a unknown quantity as the -brass- *bronze* will change colour (potentially dramatically) as it oxidises. I love Oris but as of this moment if I were buying a -brass- *bronze* watch it would be the Tudor Black Bay Bronze; which is just 100% sex on a strap. I have that exact version of the Visodate, it's a great watch. The only thing that annoys me is the day/date complication. If they were shown in negative the watch would be dramatically improved IMO. Thanks for the video TGV, keep up the great work.

[@mikemantho9426]

I have the silver dial and the day/date is black on white. While I like the black dial, I do think the silver is even more beautiful. :-). Are brass and bronze the same thing? I know they both change color with age, I can't help but think of the Bronze Age when I read that word.

[@arthurscargill8010]

As a politician might say, I mistyped; I meant bronze!

[@TraptbyBenjamin]

+Mike Mantho Brass and bronze are not the same. Both have copper, but brass uses zinc whereas bronze uses tin (or other metals, for example aluminum). Bronze is known for its resistance to water corrosion.

[@richardseekins24]

The Oris is to die for but just too expensive. If it was £2000 and not £3600 in the UK I would consider it for sure. Got an Oris big crown anniversary in bronze as a compromise 😊 Update on this While buying The Oris Bronze big crown The dealer looked up the price of the Divers 65 in Bronze. It was Indeed £2100 and limited to a run on 2000. The new Chrono version is £3600.

[@bmjengland4966]

That is a tough one! If I had to choose, it would be the Tissot! However I would probably Sneak the SARB in at a later date! 👍.. I would go for the Le Loche & SARB! Only because I can't do things by halfs!! Ha! BMJ ENGLAND.

[@blabrada5627]

i dont know about this bronze version, but the regular 40mm version has a bezel that is difficult to grip and turn.

[@KakashiHatake-ou7mp]

Nice review TGV! Beautiful watch! Btw, any updates on the Titan- 'Edge' review?

[@subjectiveone1937]

Beautiful watches! Great video as always TGV. What do you think of Fortis Watches? Did you do a review on them I may not be aware of?

[@Trotsky1981]

The Oris is a nice watch, but the best of the current crop of bronze divers in my opinion is the Halios Tropik - by a country mile. Would be cool if you could get one in for review.

[@theurbangentry]

Would never say no. Are they friendly to deal with? Best regards, TGV

[@Trotsky1981]

That would be cool. I've only ever dealt with their European distributor, but feedback on the forums has been generally positive. The problem is that Halios has limited runs, and the baton dial Tropik (the nicest one) is no longer available in North America. But the Arabic dial still is, so drop them a line and see what happens I guess. Keep up the good work!

[@PatentRob]

I love it. Great review. However, why did the new edition scrap the date?

[@TheSavagederek]

I do like the Oris Divers.

[@rickmarsh571]

Love the whole Carl Brashear story ,great story great movie! I wonder if the blue and gold on the dial is because it's navy colors? Great video ..

[@henk144]

Great review. One comment with respect to the corrosion resistance of bronze. Bronze does perform outstanding in seawater but I am not sure how it does in combination with the stainless steel backplate? This is because of galvanic corrosion.

[@monstermav]

does the bronze discolour when touched by hand / fingers

[@zl952011]

Hi TGV, where did you get the brown perforate strap for the visodate? Did it come together with the watch?

[@Vidar.m]

i like the dome shaped crystal

[@madaurel1986]

Do you know lug to lug size of Tissot Visodate? I'm looking to buy one dress watch and i can't decide between SARB035 or Tissot Visodate, because of my skinny wrist (6.5") i think Tissot mai be to large.

[@aidansugrue6263]

Hi TGV im 15 years old and and in the past week i have been watching many of your videos im in the middle of learning to be a pilot and i you have convinced me into buying the seiko sna411 but i was wondering were would be the best place to buy this timepiece anyway keep up the good videos you have inspired me into becoming a collector and i hope you keep up the good work

[@AG-hr2bk]

Great vid, I'm going to have to save up for an oris or a tissot. Keep it up.

[@theurbangentry]

Thank you, you cant go wrong with either, amazing quality brands. Best regards, TGV

[@deansusec8745]

Hi TGV, I am a recent follower and watch enthusiast. Dont have any yet but am slowly coming up with favourites. I think my first will be a Seiko Alpinist. Just love the retro look and especially the green dial with gold numbers. I have a question-I believe my 'grail watch' (I dont see myself spending much more than a few 1000$ on a watch) is going to be a really cool bronze. So, what do you think of Anonimo militaire? It seems really off the beaten path and really high quality. Thanks for your great videos! Regards
