Movember is well underway, and the mustaches are coming along. Perhaps the only thing more timeless than a solid mustache is a handsome watch to complement it. And what better watch for the occasion than Oris’ special Movember edition of its classic Chronoris model. Featuring an automatic movement, a suave black dial and a stainless steel case, this is a watch you’ll want to wear well past November. It’s available with your choice of a leather or stainless steel strap (both options also come with an additional NATO strap), and is packaged in a leather travel pouch with a certificate included. The best part is that the watch is made in support of men’s health charity Movember, raising awareness for men’s health issues that often go untreated.
