VIdeo review of the Oris Rectangular collection, could this be Cartier Tank killer ?

[@hendersonshorology]

Simply the best video on Rectangulars I’ve seen on KZbin! Congrats Tom, it’s an epic creation that documents these unique pieces beautifully 👌🏻

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thanks bud ! Hopefully the shots can be helpful to someone in the market for one of these.

[@morgansaignes8021]

I remember when you weren't sure about liking white dials or not. I think you have your answer ! Awesome video as usual Tom!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Hehe true that. 😜 the rabbit hole of watch collecting

[@harinasokan9467]

Great visuals and a classy review! Well done Tom 🥂

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thank you doc 🙏

[@pete5534]

They all look terrific…

[@rscotthinkle]

Just saw this watch today and bought it within 30 mins of seeing it. I would love a Tank...but this watch works perfectly for me. It will also pair well with my Aquis. Great video!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

omg! i'm unfluencing :) thanks man . enjoy your NWA !

[@tbprofile1295]

Can you see the date well, or is the date window too small?

[@rscotthinkle]

@@tbprofile1295 to be honest, I never look at the date on any watch, just the time. I don’t recall it being any harder to see. The only thing I have noticed is that the lum markers are useless at night. Then again, not anything that really gets to me. It’s still a great looking watch on my wrist.

[@tbprofile1295]

[@jeanlefranc3817]

The Oris Rectangular has caught my eye the minute it appeared on Instagram and even Oris themselves have not made a better job than your video. Well done, Tom Yes, the red or the blue are watches I am very tempted to add to the collection as the brand has succeeded from the get go to release a model with its own personality, which does not look like a cheaper Reverso. It think it was about time Oris proved they were more than the Aquis, the 65 Diver and weird looking Propilot, but a proper independent watch brand with a rich catalog.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Couldn’t agree more. I obviously had to ref the other brands but I do feel they have their own identity.

[@tunokies]

Fantastic video of these models. I haven't seen these in any of the Oris stockists I've passed by yet.... hopefully they'll start to make their way into more stores soon.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

A bit the same in my region too. Yet, I really like these models

[@wh1chw4tch]

Thanks for sharing this Tom! These are pretty compelling pieces!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thx Michael ! 🙏

[@apaullo2367]

Awesome video mate! These look really good ngl and I agree with you on the white dial version. It’s best looking out of the four watches. Well done! 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@BowlOfSalmon]

great minds ;)

[@BrandonMenancio]

Great video! One of your best yet!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thanks man. Can you help me understand why you like this one ?

[@KealanJamesBrady]

Just tried one on today, tempted to get the yellow and swap out the strap. Though i did prefer the dial on the last rectangular model they done.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Haven’t had a chance to check the older model. How doesn’t compare in size !

[@marvoski547]

Beautiful image quality btw!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thanks!

[@robertfeast7691]

Beautiful watch. Definitely the next on my list. Totally agree about changing the strap. A tan or brown, maybe an ostrich, strap would look perfect

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thanks for watching! I think loads of classic combinations would work well

[@ManoloVintage]

Brushed and polished finishing on the brownish Anthracite dial would look manly. 💪

[@BowlOfSalmon]

maybe we can run it over some sanding paper ? :p

[@paulkojat1526]

Got a great deal on the white one . Dumped the yellow strap .added decent black leather strap . And boy does it look great .

[@BowlOfSalmon]

i can imagine it does ! i didn't have 19mm options at the time of video to try more combo's

[@aslaponthewrist2542]

Love the video buddy, incredible, very well done. I think I gotta see it to believe the quality, I'm still on the fence. After having the seiko tank, to me that's already scratched the itch a little bit sorta (auto eta doesn't do a whole lot at this point), also that jlc has spoilt me a bit. 🤪

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thx man. JLC I is a bit of a different league. And i guess in the same price point of a sturdy diver this might feel like less quality. But it’s really not

[@orisfanboy2729]

oh, I did not know they used a ETA movement in these, maybe SW doesn't have something which fits? also might be why Oris has been struggling with the production speed Thoroughly great job, with pros and cons. Theres some thought behind this video, not just quck upload. And video is top notch as always

[@BowlOfSalmon]

You had me race too check their specs. 😅 production speed issue is a global issue. Thanks for your time !

[@stavros_katsopr]

I'm a fan of square watches and definitely a fan of the Tank. There is something about it, must be one of the very few watches i can accept the Roman numerals on. Last year's introduction of the SolarBeat was a big break through in my opinion, would love to get that one. As for this Oris, i must say that the dimensions are spot on, but all the straps are not! Case design is really nice, especially the sides, the dial is a tad... meh... May be the 3 numerals, could live without them in fact. Personally i'd get the anthracite dial, always with a change of strap, for sure. White ain't bad either, rest two colour are not for me, although i like red dials... Thanks for another great vid Tom, be well mate. Cheers.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts man. In terms size I almost picked the solarbeat xl. But the date annoyed me on that model. Not really on this one.

[@japd7897]

Go for this one Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque.

[@stavros_katsopr]

@@japd7897 I go... and go... and go... and go...

[@edwardkollar448]

I agree with your comments on the white one, the tan one you show or a nice leather black strap would work wonders. I wonder who came up with the color Oris has on it now. Or if Oris offered a choice when purchasing the watch. I’ve been looking at adding a rectangular one and the Oris is probably my choice, but unsure of what color, I like the white, my wife prefers the gray/green one.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

hehe . yeah. especially the yellow strap color was a weird choice imho

[@Eliehbk]

Awesome review! thank you. What's the strap width?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Thx. 19mm.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

[@bobbywooten3]

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I'm afraid I can't remember .. Something delugs ... maybe ask Ken (the owner) with a screenshot

[@rafayz9033]

You should also look at the longines dolce vita!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

personal preference ... but something about the dolce vita that I don't like

[@japd7897]

If you like rectangular watches, for just $1.600.000 more, I would recommend you the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Hybris Mechanica Calibre 185 Quadriptyque.

[@jharris947]

@@BowlOfSalmon 😂Nice one.

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

The anthracite dial version you mention is listed as a green dial on the Oris website. I agree that in all of the pictures (including in this video) that it looks black/gray but why does Oris list it as green?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Scouts honour. Nothing green about it 🫣. I think it must be a mistake

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

@@BowlOfSalmon Thanks for the reply!

[@mikec3454]

I think these are really sharp, but I would drop that date window. It’s so small that it seems very irrelevant.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

But it’s there when you need it and really you have to know it’s there to see it. I prefer the look of nodate watches but honestly always find myself checking the date when I happen to be wearing a no date 😅

[@simonthomas5113]

I can't get over just how awful that yellow OEM strap looks on the white dial model. You picked up on it, I'm a newbe and I picked up on it. So we have the cost of the watch plus the immediate replacement of the strap when considering this one.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

Yeah. Who decided on that right ? My advice. Ask the ad to change in on the fly for you. Without added costs ;) They have straps in store

[@JOseDurand]

Is the Oris Rectangular coming in Black this year?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

are they still in the catalogue ?

[@lupodisol]

WHERE DID YOU PURCHASE THE BROWN STRAP FOR THE ORIS RECTANGULAR WHITE DIAL?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

its in the description ;). delugs

[@LockheedMartinF22Raptor7]

Unfortunately, the power reserve is quite weak. If they found a way to increase the PR to above 45, I would consider buying one.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

I tend to rotate a lot so PR is never sufficient :s not a big deal breaker for me

[@blackwood3243]

Sorry if I missed it in the video, is the movement bi-directional winding?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

no clue tbh .. sorry

[@Juanjo191]

My favorite is the white too or maybe even the grey one, but as clear colors make things look bigger maybe the white is the right choice for me. I also believe that is the more masculine. I’ve heard that it wears like a 36 mm circular watch. Is that accurate?

[@BowlOfSalmon]

they certainly wear bigger than the cartier tank !

[@EmperorProtects4848]

I've been looking at those ever since they announced them.., there is very little coverage even now, I guess it too old news by now. I wonder what it would look on my 18cm wrist, but can't get over the price tag which I think is too high. Incidentally I just stumbled over a Frederic Constante rectangular watch today which I will also give a closer look.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

these look a bit bigger than a tank large ... but still might feel odd on a 18cm wrist... yeah.. this video performs well for me because there is no other coverage out there :)

[@Ces1um]

What colour is the dial at 2:38? Is it the anthracite or is it the blue? I’m having a really hard time figuring it out! Please help!

[@BowlOfSalmon]

sorry, so it was grey :) got one in the end now ?

[@Ces1um]

@@BowlOfSalmon Watch arrived! One thing nobody mentions about this watch is, if you’re 50 or over you can’t make out the date at all! It’s hard to see even with 2.5x magnification! Otherwise it’s a real joy on wrist. Thin and lightweight. Anthracite dial is very grey- not black at all and the strap is far more green/olive than brown. Also, the movement is so small that the exhibition caseback wasn’t really needed. You can’t see very much. Looks great in photos at magnification though. Still- nice looking watch. Very refined look.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

@@Ces1um yeah it’s small. But also the reason why it doesn’t disrupt the dial. It’s there if you need it tho. Maybe I won’t miss to mention these details in 10 years tho 😂. Congrats with the watch !!!

@@BowlOfSalmon thanks! It hasn’t left my wrist!

[@EzioDCM]

it could have been a valid alternative, but with such a basic caliber, they would have had to give us something more that didn't cost too much to make, maybe a higher water resistance: 10atm and it would have been a best buy.

Look way better than the Longines Dolce Vita

[@BowlOfSalmon]

i would tend to agree there

[@theoldsargesays6176]

Interesting video, yes. Good looking watch, yes. Those straps, no. In search of an affordable alternative to the JLC/Cartier rectangulars, I've looked at Hamilton, Longines & Oris. If I'm going to buy a watch with the intent on changing the strap/bracelet then I'll go with the Longines Dolce Vita on bracelet which allows me to alternate, rather than the Oris in which any of these straps go straight into the trash can. It's too bad really because it's a great looking watch but at $300 less, the Longines Dolce Vita makes more sense.

[@BowlOfSalmon]

i don't disagree on the straps :)

Thanks for making this vid, like the live footage, appreciate that view of those watches. But.....Dude, stop harping on about masculinity. It's an elegant dress watch. It needs to be pretty, slide under a cuff and it needs to be discreetly elegant. All of that it seems to accomplish, even if I wish it was only 9mm thick. Again, thanks for the video, but this world certainly doesn't need more masculinity in it. I find it a stifling affair to have to be so damn masculine all the time, and the women I speak to seem to agree with that view by and large. :)

I like this watch too, but at I0.2mm, it is too thick to be a proper dress watch and certainly not a Tank killer.
