Investment alternatives: from Oris with the best value for money to the Wecamp luxury campsite

Santa Cristina d'Aro, in the heart of the Costa Brava, has been the enclave chosen by Wecamp to open its first five-star campsite in Spain. Located three kilometers from the beach and surrounded by the forests and massifs of the Baix Empordà, Wecamp Santa Cristina was born with the aim of offering a memorable experience where it is possible to enjoy the comfort and hotel services in a privileged natural environment. But above all with the desire to lead a new generation of innovative and sustainable campsites, respectful of nature and people, where design and quality are in tune with the beauty of the destination.

The objective is to transfer hotel standards to the campsite to revolutionize the outdoor tourism sector in a commitment to simplicity and authenticity, and always in fusion with the environment. All this makes it an excellent proposal for those who, in addition to connect with the landscape, demand comfort.

The premiere of Wecamp in Santa Cristina d'Aro (there will be more in other locations in the coming months) materializes in an extension of 5.5 hectares and is located less than two kilometers from the municipality. There are a total of 47 glamping tents that adapt to the needs of guests, as well as a total of 91 exclusive pitches for motorhomes. The accommodations follow a philosophy of minimal intervention (recycled materials in light tones) giving maximum prominence to the exterior. The clientele has its own car park with 143 spaces, events agenda and geolocated maps available to all iOS and Android mobile devices.

This is how it has been building its icons, among which the 41.5-millimeter Aquis Date Caliber 400 stands out. This quintessential Oris diver's watch returns in two new forms enriched with a touch of solid gold. Both the “forest green” and “deep blue” versions have an 18-carat gold finish on the outer edge of their unidirectional rotating bezels, and gold-colored hands and indices. Even the minute track on the green or blue ceramic bezel is gold, completing the balanced and consistent look of the design.

Both watches come with either a stainless steel bracelet or a matching green or blue rubber strap that can be easily changed using Oris' patented quick-change strap system, without the need for tools.

All of this involves the new automatic Caliber 400, which changes its style and provides the watch with high levels of anti-magnetism, a power reserve of five days and recommended maintenance intervals of 10 years.

Like all watches in the Caliber 400 series, both pieces are guaranteed for 10 years when registered with MyOris.
