His father was one of the first African-American physicians, whose patients included legendary jazz musicians Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton. After learning the clarinet, at 15 Dexter switched to the saxophone. At 17, he picked up the tenor saxophone, the instrument with which he would become synonymous.<br \/>Dexter is widely regarded as the first musician to translate the language of mid-20th century modern jazz \u2013 pioneered by the likes of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and known as \u2018bebop\u2019 \u2013 to the tenor saxophone. He recorded and performed extensively, both as the lead and as a sideman to fellow jazz greats, including Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole and Herbie Hancock. Later in life, he turned to acting and was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 1986 film Round Midnight. He died in 1990.<br \/>The Oris Dexter Gordon Limited Edition is the seventeenth jazz watch made by Oris. In keeping with the company\u2019s previous jazz watches, it is a classic, deeply stylish piece. Its look is calm and harmonious, a reflection on Dexter\u2019s famously warm, sociable personality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/dos-Oris-Dexter-Gordon-Limited-Edition.jpg\" alt \/><\/p>\n<p>Oris has included a number of subtle touches that reference the great man. The index at 12 o\u2019clock is shaped like a saxophone reed, while \u2018DEXTER GORDON\u2019 is spelt out around the dial, one letter per index. The central seconds hand is brass-coloured like a saxophone and has an extended counterbalance, a reference to Dexter\u2019s nickname \u2018Long Tall Dex\u2019, which is also engraved on the watch\u2019s case back.<br \/>The Oris Dexter Gordon Limited Edition is limited to 1,000 pieces and will be available from January, priced CHF 1,800. \u2018Jazz to me is a living music,\u2019 Dexter once said. \u2018It\u2019s a music that since its beginning has expressed the feelings, the dreams, the hopes of the people.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.my-watchsite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/coffret-Oris-Dexter-Gordon-Limited-Edition.jpg\" alt \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dexter Gordon Limited Edition is the 17th creation signed by Oris around the legends of Jazz.
