Drafting Our Favorite Watches Of The 1970s – A TGN Special With Collective Horology

This is a special bonus episode of The Grey NATO brought to you by Collective Horology and their new collaboration with Oris – The limited edition Divers "Seventy-Five" Caliber 400 C.04 for Collective. It's a new bi-color take on the classic Oris Divers Sixty-Five that captures the vibe of California in the 1970s. This free bonus episode for the entire TGN audience features an enjoyable chat with Collective Horology’s Gabe Reilly that covers Collective, the brand's latest collaborative dive watch design, and a special – and rather competitive – draft of our favorite watches of the 1970s.

Focusing on the watch, it's a 250-piece limited edition that reimagines Oris' Divers Sixty-Five as a creation of the seventies, with a bronze and steel construction accented by warm orange, red, and brown coloring. Based on the original 40mm format for the Divers Sixty-Five, this funky limited edition creation features a lovely dial design supported by Oris' automatic Caliber 400 in a no-date execution that boasts a full five days of power reserve and a 10-year warranty.

But wait, there's more! If you're part of the TGN Supporter Crew, be sure to swing by the Slack today for access to a special bundle that Collective has offered exclusively for members of the TGN Crew that order the new Oris Divers "Seventy-Five" Caliber 400 C.04 for Collective. 

A huge thank you to Asher and Gabe at Collective for the support and especially to Gabe for being a great guest and an exceedingly talented drafter. We hope you all love the episode! Please hit the comments below (and the TGN Slack) to share your favorite watches from the 1970s.
