I had seen this model of the Oris line before, and had tried one on, but this is my first Oris I have owned. It has a rubber strap that needs to be cut to be sized, so if you cut to short, I think you are out of luck. So you must go SLOWLY when sizing, to make sure you don't cut it to short. Being that it is a rubber strap, and there is no way to really wear it and get a feel for it before actually sizing it, I wasn't really sure what to expect.
Well, I was really in for a treat. This is one of the most comfortable watches I have ever worn. The rubber strap allows it to basically mold to my wrist, and never feel like it's in the way. The clasp has a small adjustable setting, as do most watches that are sizeable, so I was able to get the actual strap cut down right, and then fine tune it with the three avail size adjustments on the clasp, which has worked great. I left one slot so I can expand it slightly if I wish, but haven't needed to. Sometimes it feels somewhat tight, but that's if it's hot out and I'm running around, when naturally your wrist swells slightly, but being that it's a rubber strap, it feels snug, but doesn't have the restrictive or overly tight feeling a stainless steel band leave you with if it's to snug. Long story short, better on the wrist than any watch I have owned in this general size.
As far as the quality, AMAZING. Even though this has a black dial, which some say is harder to read than a white or light color dial, I can always easily see the time. It has Super-Luminova dots for each hour mark, on the outer most rim of the dial. There is a "9, 12, and 3" numerials that make up the dial, while the rest have small indexs or marks for hours besides those above. The Super-luminova is on the outside of both though, so in the dark, there are beautiful glowing dots around the watch as a signal for each hour, with the 12 o'clock getting two dots side by side, and the hour and minute hands having Super-luminova strips on them. In very dark settings, everything is completley black, except the Luminova, which looks absolutley classy and modern on this watch. Again, excellent design went into this watch, and the night viewing of it is nothing short of perfect.
And to wrap up, the wonderful automatic movement. I don't have it in front of me, but for those looking for more technical specs of the movement, google will provide those answers easily, I will just offer my take. EXCELLENT, to sum it up in one word. I have set it, to the second, with the U.S Navy clock online, and checked it two days later, and it was within 5 seconds. Checked it after a week, and I was within 25-30 seconds of the clock. That is with me wearing the watch, running around, taking it off for an extended period, probablly till the point it almost ran out of reserve power, then winded it up manually, left it on the dresser for another 24hrs, and then wore it again. So the testing of the time included many different enviorments, pretty much a real world test, as opposed to a full wind, and leaving it on a table for 24hrs and checking it to a reference clock might yeild better results, but my results were with full movement on the wrist, and all the ups/downs etc etc that come with moving around all day. Anyway, I can be completley wrong, and having it dead still and moving around on ones wrist might not make one difference, but I feel it most likely would.
I am very happy with my purchase, purchased directly from Amazon, however it did not come with a 2 year Amazon Warranty, just the Manuf. I have heard/read info about Manuf to be difficult regarding service/warranty work if watch wasn't purchased from an AD, so not getting a 2 year warranty included from Amazon might be an issue down the road, but based on how the watch is now, I don't see any trouble at all, it should run great until the movement needs to be serviced, which I beleive is every couple years, but I am still learning.
