Why we love it
Oris chose this watch to debut Calibre 401, its small-seconds in-house movement, and gave that first outing to Carl Brashear, the first amputee to serve as a US Navy diver and, from 1970, its first African American Master Diver. The Oris Divers Carl Brashear ref. 01 401 7764 3185 is limited to 2,000 pieces and was made with the Carl Brashear Foundation.
The movement belongs to the Calibre 400 family, which Watchonista reports took five years to develop. It offers five days of power, strong resistance to magnetism and a ten-year service interval by design. Bronze honours the diving helmets Brashear wore, and on this piece it has deepened into a warm patina all its own around the navy-blue dial.
Specialists took note. Monochrome named it the most compact bronze Brashear yet, and aBlogtoWatch describes the steel caseback, embossed with a diving helmet and his creed. Released in 2021, it is no longer offered online by Oris.
Graded Excellent and complete with its original Oris box and papers, this is a Brashear to live with and to keep. It marks an in-house debut, its bronze will keep recording its owner's years, and it carries the story of a man who refused to stay down.

Provenance
Ownership & Provenance
Every timepiece offered by Luxepolis, including this Oris Divers Carl Brashear Limited Edition, undergoes a rigorous ownership and provenance review before being presented for sale. We verify the seller's identity, review available supporting documentation and seek to establish lawful and traceable ownership wherever reasonably possible.
Seller transactions are conducted through registered banking channels and are supported by executed agreements, PAN verification, government-issued identification and ownership declarations. The reference, 01 401 7764 3185, and serial details are reviewed where available. The original Oris box and papers that accompany this watch may support that review, although no single document is relied upon in isolation.
As an additional safeguard, Luxepolis screens watches against recognised independent stolen-watch registers and recovery databases. Where available and appropriate, checks may also be conducted through manufacturer-operated stolen-watch or ownership-verification programmes. Since no single global register records every luxury watch, database screening forms one important part of Luxepolis' broader ownership-verification process.
Founded in 2014, Luxepolis is India's first, oldest and pioneering authenticated pre-owned luxury marketplace. Over the past 12+ years, Luxepolis has authenticated and facilitated the sale of thousands of luxury timepieces, serving collectors across India with uncompromising standards of authentication, provenance and buyer protection.
