I'm liking it! Here is a little story to go with it:

The Hunter has landed!

Dear John T.

To commemorate the life of the legendary Hunter jet, Oris introduces the latest model in its aviation collection: the Oris Swiss Hunter Team Limited Edition.

The awesome Hunter took the world by storm when it first flew in the UK in 1951. Seven years later it came to Switzerland and became the star of the Swiss Air Force. Although the Hunter has since been retired in Switzerland it continues to fly thanks to the Swiss Hunter Team, a unique group of former military pilots who were inspired to fly by the Hunter. The Oris Swiss Hunter Team Limited Edition reflects both the strength of the jet and the quality of its design.

The 46mm anthracite PVD coated case projects an elegant silhouette with its gentle curves, bevelled top ring and oversized screw-in security crown. The dial is presented in the unmistakable Oris style of a cockpit flight instrument. The tiny Hunter jet on the pointer calendar hand is another nod to the inspiration for this limited edition pilot’s watch.

The Oris Swiss Hunter Team Limited Edition is presented in a magnificent box set, which includes a key ring with a replica Hunter ejection seat safety splint. This is used to secure the seat when the Hunter is not flying.

Great stealthy military feel on this Oris ! The color of the case really adds
a mean quality to the watch. Classic look but with an updated size and
personality. Also with the Aviation style watches..you've gotta love those
little planes at the end of the hands ! I think Oris makes some fantastic
watches, and this Aviation Series is VERY nice and adds variety to the brand !

Nice looking watch-I was'nt even aware that Oris had an aviation series. Will need to look into that collection.

Ordering one?

Not yet Alan....I need to see what the price is and then I'll have to wait for someone else to buy it and then I can get it from them....See, I'm learning real good! LOL. But, I really do like the looks of this watch and the size is right.
