The Oris TT3 is back in two Darryl O’ Young Limited Editions. Darryl O’ Young is the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Double Class A Racing Champion, driving the Type 997 Porsche race car. Oris has designed two watches, each model is limited to 997 units –to match the Type 997 Porsche. Available in 43.5mm or 41mm, the curved cases of the TT3 are black DLC coated and the watch comes with a black rubber strap with the signature TT3 flexible lugs.

The unusual glass dial is printed with a Porsche wheel rim pattern and offers a glimpse of the watch’s automatic mechanical movement, as well as the calendar date wheel. The SuperLuminova numerals on the dial are the same Microgramma typeface as used on the Porsche cars.
Another introduction for Oris is the BC3 Sportsman, a redesign of Oris’s most popular pilot’s watch, the BC3, which was introduced 10 years ago. This timepiece features a brand new 42mm case.

The ‘Sportsman’ in the name refers to the first classification level for aerobatic pilots and was influenced by Oris’s partnership with Don Vito Wyprächtiger, a test pilot for world air race champion Hannes Arch.
The watch is water resistant to 100 metres and comes on a choice of three straps – classic leather, elegant stainless steel and sporty rubber.
