We are also delighted that this special watch, limited to 2,000 pieces, is the first to feature the Oris Cal. 401, the second of our new automatic movements designed entirely in-house.  <\/p>\n<p>The new watch features a 40 mm case in bronze, a material chosen not only to symbolize the diving suits worn by Carl during his career as a &#8220;Master Diver&#8221; in the U.S. Navy, but also as a metal with its own story to tell. Bronze is a natural material that develops a patina through reaction with oxygen in the air and moisture on the skin. Over time, the hue becomes unique, a visual record of the wearer&#8217;s life.  <\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the watch is Calibre 401. Designed entirely in-house by Oris watchmakers, it is inspired by Calibre 400, launched last October. Not only more accurate than a chronometer (from -3 to +5 seconds per day), it solves many of the problems of today&#8217;s mechanical movements, offering a high level of anti-magnetism, a five-day power reserve and an extended 10-year warranty.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>The Oris Calibre 401 differs from the Calibre 400 in that it incorporates a small seconds-hand at 6 o&#8217;clock. A movement designed to withstand the turbulence of life &#8211; it is a timeless symbol of the spirit shown by Carl Brashear during his military career. <\/p>\n<p>The watch features a naval-inspired blue dial, a bronze unidirectional rotating bezel with embossed dive scale, and a parachute webbing strap, hand-crafted and custom-made exclusively by Erika&#8217;s Originals.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2031288 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/01-401-7764-3185-set-oris-carl-brashear-calibre-401-limited-edition_highres_12936-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"216\" height=\"160\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/01-401-7764-3185-Set-Oris-Carl-Brashear-Calibre-401-Limited-Edition_HighRes_12936-216x160.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail lazyload\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 216px;

It&#8217;s not getting up that is.&#8221; These were the words of Carl Brashear, one of the 20th century&#8217;s most determined figures to triumph over adversity. Carl overcame many challenges, both because of his origins and because of his disability, to become the first African-American diver in the history of the U.S. Navy and the first diver to undergo amputation. This man of honor is a source of inspiration for many people around the world.  <\/p>\n<p>In 2015, as part of its Change for the Better mission, Oris partnered with the Carl Brashear Foundation, created in his memory to perpetuate his legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Oris has had the privilege of working with the foundation and, in particular, with his son Phillip and his family. Today, we are delighted to unveil the Oris Carl Brashear Cal. 401 Limited Edition, the third watch to bear his name and the first to feature the new Oris Calibre 401.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Carl Brashear is one of the 20th century&#8217;s most determined figures to triumph over adversity&#8221; automatic high performance. The Carl Brashear Foundation carries Carl&#8217;s story to inspire people to never give up. Born into a poor rural community, Carl overcame racism, lack of education and even disability, the result of an accident while serving in the army, to achieve his ambitions. His story is the subject of the film Men of Honor, starring Oscar-winning actors Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert De Niro.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>The funds raised through the sale of Oris Carl Brashear watches have helped a huge number of veterans and vulnerable people, giving them hope and helping them achieve their goals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Carl&#8217;s legacy is extraordinary and we are extremely proud to pass it on and support the foundation,&#8221; in the words of Oris co-CEO Rolf Studer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Together with the Carl Brashear Foundation, we hope that every time someone wearing this watch looks at<br \/>\n, they will remember to never give up, and to keep going no matter what happens, no matter how insurmountable the obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Oris Carl Brashear Calibre 401 Limited Edition<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oris presents the third watch made in partnership with the Carl Brashear Foundation and the first powered by Calibre 401, a highly resistant in-house automatic movement with a five-day power&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1628075,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30122],"tags":[67952],"class_list":["post-2031288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-watches-and-jewelry","tag-oris-carl-brashear-calibre-401-limited-edition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2031288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2031288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2031288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1628075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2031288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2031288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2031288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
