Oris and the Williams Formula 1 team have spoken of their delight at the continuation of their partnership.Luxury watch brand Oris and AT&T Williams, one of Formula 1's most established teams, have reaffirmed their commitment to their ongoing sponsorship deal.
It was revealed last week that the Swiss brand's logo will continue to be emblazoned across the helmets and overalls of Williams' 2010 drivers, Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg.
Ulrich Herzog, executive chairman at Oris, says: "Our increased commitment to AT&T Williams, in this tougher economic climate, underlines our firm resolution to further build the image of Oris watches within the competitive and prestigious field of Formula One."
This will be the seventh consecutive season Oris has sponsored Williams for, with the team's chairman Frank Williams expressing his "delight" at the continuation of the deal.
Oris will join fellow designer timepiece brands Tag Heuer - which sponsors McLaren - and TW Steel, which supports Renault, on the grid this season.
The Formula 1 season gets underway in Bahrain on March 14th, with Oris likely to be hoping Barrichello or Hulkenberg can push its name on to the podium.
