Hands-On - Oris Waldenburgerbahn Limited Edition (Specs, Price)
There is no way to describe the Oris Waldenburgerbahn Limited Edition watch without a history lesson, so here we are. As the name suggests, there had to be a Bahn in Waldenburg, and there was a rail work indeed, a 13km low-cost and efficient one that opened in 1880 to connect the beautiful Waldenburg valley villages, including Holstein, the future home to the Oris factory. Oris founders, based in Le Locle, thought to settle their business in Holstein in 1904 and used the “lifeline of the valley” to build their watch business on the principles of “reliability, quality and innovation“, shared by the Waldenburgerbahn operators. This year, Waldenburgerbahn, or WB, will be reopened after a CHF 300 million renovation and upgrade to the latest transport technology. To “capture affection and gratitude for the role played in our story by the Waldenburgerbahn“, the brand decided to create a particular watch with a design based on the classic Big Crown Pointer

The style is so popular that even high-end indie watchmakers and micro-brands are jumping on the bandwagon. Can we blame them? Surely not, as it’s just a response to what the market wants. Looking at the accessible segment, the strongest contender with a Swiss movement and one of the few go-to options is the Tissot PRX collection. Except that there is a new competitor on the block: welcome the F77 Automatic from Nivada Grenchen.As with most of the previous releases of Nivada, this new watch doesn’t come out of the blue. It is actually a revival of a vintage watch that was produced in 1977, with all the codes you would expect from a watch designed after the shockwave produced by the Royal Oak. The original model, which you can see below, certainly displayed references to existing watches – an octagon
