Advantages:
- Evident Expertise: Oris watches as proudly Swiss-made, and comes from a company that has been making mechanical watches since the early 1900’s. That kind of craftsmanship is evident in the quality that can be found in the BC3 Advanced, Day Date Black Rubber Strap Watch. The Oris trademark red rotor boldly stands for its legacy in watch-making.
- Functionality Mixed with Refinement: Unlike other watches that have very sophisticated functions, this Oris BC3 watch keeps it simple yet classy. It is a handsome watch that you can wear to work, on a date, or while relaxing over a cup of coffee and having a great conversation.
- Durability in Design: The BC3 Advanced, Day Date Black Rubber Strap Watch has many elements that make it a toughie – water resistance of 100 meters, an anti-reflective sapphire dial window, a screw-in crown, and a buckled strap made of rubber.
Disadvantages:
- One disadvantage to having watches with rubber or silicone straps is that the wrists do sweat a lot under the strap and will produce a stinky smell, especially when worn after long periods.
- One thing about this watch that some users who are used to quartz movement might find inconvenient, is that this watch has to be manually adjusted if it has already stopped after not using it for 38 hours.
