What type of watches do you prefer: vintage-inspired models with a history engineered to look old or brand new undamaged pieces that smell fresh and have just come out of the hands of specialist watchmakers? For most customers, this is a fairly straightforward choice. How about eccentric collectors who dream of a new premium watch that looks like a well-worn timepiece? Can’t believe that such watches are produced? Discover the world of the Out Of Order® brand that offers unique pre-distressed timepieces!
Out Of Order® timepieces are something of a rarity among premium watches. Why? You'll find out in a moment. The unconventional idea of producing exclusive watches that look worn out was born in the mind of Riccardo Torrisi when he didn’t have the means to repair his expensive watch. Intrigued by the distinctive style of fashionable ripped jeans and worn-out jackets, in 2013 he decided with two other co-founders, Dalla Mora and Dario Ceolotto, to establish the Out Of Order® brand in Italy, near Venice.
Out Of Order® exemplifies the three founders’ out-of-the-box approach to producing inspiring high-end watches. The trio of founders have created premium watches of high-precision. Skilled craftsmen and specialised watchmakers are in control of their high standards. Out Of Order® timepieces are a form of play and a lively dialogue undertaken between the manufacturers and the potential customers. Each model features the OOO symbol and the intriguing slogan "Damaged in Italy" on both the dials and the lugs. The additional statement "Please, treat me bad" completes this alternative convention.
Let your faults become your beauty.
Riccardo Torrisi, co-founder
This sentence is the quintessence of the innovative approach to the creation of "damaged" watches created by the Out Of Order® manufacturer. The proprietary designs and innovative production techniques employed by the Italian manufacturer are astonishing and stand out in a world of mass-produced, identical products. The extraordinary signs of wear are due to hand-finished details such as hands and indices, as well as the use of the patented OOO® manufacturing process according to which all steel (316L) parts, e.g. bracelets, cases and bezels are subjected.
The patented manufacturing and finishing process gives each Out Of Order® model the appearance of a worn-out, tried and tested vintage watch. The original look of this technique lies in the fact that no two identical pieces will ever be produced. The implementation of these revolutionary production techniques using high-quality materials has ensured that the Italian company from the Adriatic Coast has taken a high, prestigious place in the premium luxury watch industry.
Out Of Order® offers high-end timepieces that differ from devices known in the watch industry. The founders' unique approach to manufacturing resulted in creating pre-distressed vintage models. Inspired by the dive watches of the 1970s, this is a real treat for lovers of retro style, water sports and collectors.

The Out Of Order® Swiss Automatic GMT collection is one of many inspired by the iconic dive watches of the 1970s. However, it is distinguished by one thing - Swiss precision combined with the best revolutionary technology and unique design. The line includes the unusual Scheletrato OOO.001-21.SK men's watch. This design is synonymous with functionality and a refined form. It was created for explorers and travellers who need to have a reliable device that indicates the exact time regardless of the time zone. For this reason, the model is equipped with a GMT complication, which, thanks to an additional blue hand, allows the user to check the home time.
The Scheletrato is not only about desirable functionality, but also a new interpretation of skeleton watches. Through the matt black dial, you can see the embellishments and the workings of the Swiss Landeron24 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve. The dial also features an eye-catching date display that looks like an old-looking steel, hands and applied indices coated with luminescent Super-LumiNova C3 and a double printed logo. Plus, the watch comes with an incredible bracelet, case and bezel made of specially finished 316L stainless steel.
If you want to make your world travels more interesting and experience the real excitement of wandering into the unknown, choose the Swiss GMT collection. Each watch has a unique design and colours alluding to famous cities located in different parts of the world, e.g. the Venezia model with the turquoise dial has a map of the Venetian "Sestriere" with the Cannaregio district, while the Havana watch will take you to Cuba - the capital of famous Cuban cigars.
A distinctive vintage style, a harmony of colours and original art showing a passion for watchmaking - this is what the eye-catching collection of Out Of Order® 143 watches is all about. The models embody everything that is history, originality and tradition of the OOO® brand. These designer watches feature everything that is important to Italian craftsmanship, from the vegetable-tanned Barbour leather straps to the hand-finished case made of old-looking 316L stainless steel. Individuality and uniqueness characterise each of the presented models, which are available in a variety of colours - blue, green, black, brown and beige.
The timeless character of the Out Of Order® 143 series is highlighted, at first glance, by the simple dials. However, what should catch the wearer's eye is the two-tone dial with a sandblasted finish and, surprisingly, its entire surface covered with Super-LumiNova that gives a decent long-lasting luminescence in the dark. Is it possible to achieve aged elegance and a classic retro style in a new, unusual version? Absolutely! Stand out from the crowd with one watch from the 143 collection!
