Dive into the future with the new Obris Morgan Port!
Introducing the Port from Obris Morgan; a non-conformist diver’s watch with a fresh new perspective that strikes a happy balance between sports and dress codes.
The Port’s design language creates a watch face that is absolutely pristine; it mightn’t possess those typical design elements that we expect from our diver’s but at its core it is still very much a dive watch – but perhaps from some other time or world.
For example the dial has eight brightly lumed segmented strips laid out in 5 minute incriminations; four on top and four on the bottom.
In addition to this the dial has large diamond-tipped hands also with bright lume; the minute hand btw is larger allowing you to easily distinguish between the two.
Meanwhile Port’s rotational bezel also has an all-important lumed 12hr marker, so too a prominent lumed sweep seconds hand that will let you know that the movement remains operational while submerged.
The diver’s bezel btw as well as featuring pronounced teeth (allowing for a good amount of grip) and having engraved graduations boasts a further unique feature, the watch’s water-resistance markings engraved and shown in feet (660) and meters (200).
Further features of the Port include: a matte micro textured dial, Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9, sapphire crystal with inner anti-reflective coating, a screw-down crown and case-back as well as screw-type lug bars.
The dial is offered in black as well as three further soft colors such as blue, olive and sand.
Power comes from a Japanese made Miyota 9015 automatic mechanical movement with a beat-rate of 28,800vph and an autonomy of 42 hours.
Finally the watch can easily be adapted with a strap of your choice thanks to its end—link adapters.

Thoughts? The new Obris Morgan Port intrigues with its avant-gardist meets post futurism design codes yet despite its outwardly stylish appearance; it is not for one moment lost on you that this indeed a diver’s watch.
But what do you think?
Size?
ReplyDeleteI really like the overall design, very distinct. I prefer a slightly thicker case.
ReplyDeleteNew design language, influenced from MING designs. I have a custom explorer from them and I really enjoy it. If it weren't for import duties I would pull the trigger.
ReplyDeleteDamn duties. You got to request that they undervalue for you. If I didn't do that I'd have hardly any watches.
DeleteAgreed this is not a serious diver but at least offers a fresh perspective. The case back could be improved.
