Oris El Hierro Limited Edition

Two new posts about Oris watches on consecutive days and still no shame. This is the Oris El Hierro LE, a watch made to help fund research of the submarine volcanic eruption off the cost of El Hierro in the Canary Islands. Oris chose to support three student scholarships and will use the funds from this watch to help pay for it. The black and gray is supposed to mimic volcanic rock, while the red is there to represent molten lava. It will be limited to 2,000 pieces and will be available starting in May. The price is CHF 1,950 (~$2,000 USD). The specs are below.
