I got one Oris and three Ball.

But there is one point i do agree is that those oldies Oris dial design is very fine and complete with complicated pattern, eg. 2nd verison Oris Big Crown Pointer date.

On year 2009 I started with brand new Oris Big CrownDate Pointer size: 40mm, on second year I bought another Brand new Oris TT3 Titanium Day Date Size: 43.5mm, on year 2013 I bought another brand new Ball Fireman ionosphere limited edition 600 pcs worldwide.

But I already sold above 3 watches on this year, now only keep Omega limited edition & Rolex.

I will go for Ball. If you open to other brand, I will suggest Orient star. I think their design is beautiful with in house movement.

Oris do have rich history, but from the range and model, I'll vote Ball Hydrocarbon due to the design and lume I think from this point should be better than the ORIS range you prefer  :Cheers: ;D

I owned both and feel that Ball has the edge over Oris

Both watches are good value for money. Each has diff design approach. But i can say both make great tool watch. In term of in-house innovation, both also got points, oris with patented depth gauge, mechanical altimeter & in-house 10 days movement, for ball its tritium, spring lock system, crown lock etc. Both easy to service..by end of the day, its ur taste will decide

A pilotwatch for pilots to check for altitude. However, if you are a pilot in a modern jet plane or fighter, this option is useless because of the pressurised cabin.

Yes, its usefulness is fairly limited. Seems that it's only good for the rescue mission chopper pilot/response team.

I personally prefer Ball especially Engineer Master II series.
