OXYGEN:

Founded in 1950, OXYGEN produces watches specifically intended for diving. In 1998 the PARISOT group relaunched the OXYGEN brand. In 2003 CITIME France took over OXYGEN and launched a collection of watches dedicated to travellers. Exclusively sold on board Air France, Lufthansa, JAL, Korean, Iberia, Cathay, China Airlines flights and many others, this range has been a great success for 8 years and has established the brand's reputation internationally. With this collection inspired by the “Sport Chic” trend, OXYGEN is the first brand in 2011 to relaunch the fashion for the easily interchangeable NATO strap . This collection is still available in 12 countries including France. Inspired by certain iconic models of Alpine watchmaking from the 50s to the 70s, in 2016 a new line of watches called "Legend" was launched on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré at the brand's Paris headquarters. Whether urban, sport or diving, each model embodies the pinnacle of a style of the past while offering the reliability and technology of a current watch.


DESCRIPTION and UNDER HOOD

Featuring an exclusive design, the brand is keen to maintain the originality of its collection by creating a "numbered edition". Thus each version of this watch has a serial number. Each piece is unique because individually numbered on the back of its case. For this open heart model, OXYGEN pays homage to these classic watches that housed exceptional mechanics. As a watchmaking enthusiast, it was obvious that the brand was going to move upmarket in order to appeal to fans of mechanical watches.

Dimensions : lenght excluding crown 40 mm, length at the end of the handles 48 mm and 12 mm thick glass included. Very masculine model.


Housing :The proportions are relatively classic, the design is completely inspired by the sober and elegant watches of the 1950s. The case is distinguished by its sober shape with its wide curved handles. It is entirely made of 316L stainless steel and has a brushed finish.e and shiny polished on the back. Lhe crown at 3 o'clock is engraved with the brand logo. The screwed and transparent back elegantly reveals the oscillating weight of the automatic mechanism.


Dial and glass : The black "open heart" dial hides under a domed acrylic glass, revealing the heart of time, punctuated by finely detailed indexes that mark the hours. These are accompanied by a very fine "railway"

around the circumference of the dial, completed by a delicate counter for the small seconds between 4 and 5 o'clock. The baton hour and minute hands and the small round indexes at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock incorporate a very practical luminescent treatment in complete darkness.

Movement : It is a Japanese Miyota 82S5 movement that allows this watch to come to life automatically and offers 42 hours of power reserve. Realizing 21,600 vibrations per hour, it is clearly not a fine watchmaking movement, but this 21-jewel caliber is undeniably reliable. Made in Japan, there is nothing to complain about this caliber which has already proven itself and which equips many brands today. Por many years, the Swiss have dominated the world market in watchmaking production. Today, however, we are witnessing a move upmarket for Japanese watchmakers.


strap : With a lug width of 20 millimeters, the genuine black cowhide leather strap is handcrafted from skins sourced from the best Italian tanneries.


Signatures : dial, case, strap , winding crown, original box, and its on box.

Comments : Excellent value for money for an automatic watch of this quality! A digital edition collection, this is number 002. Nostalgia for the era from the Fifties to the Seventies is at the origin of the "vintage" trend that is very Vogue today. Already offering several models of watches in the "vintage" spirit in its previous collections, OXYGEN has completely refocused its new collection around this theme. It is therefore inspired by certain iconic models of Alpine watchmaking from the 50s to the 70s, that the line of watches called "Legend" was born on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré at the brand's Parisian headquarters. Whether urban, sport or diving, each model embodies the pinnacle of a style of the past while offering the reliability and technology of a current watch.

This model with an open heart is a safe bet with a classic style, a timeless design that will ensure a chic and relaxed look.
