Oris is a darling amongst watch enthusiasts today.
With hits such as the Diver 65, Aquis, and Big Crown Pilot line headlining their collection, a slew of awesome special limited-edition models released annually, and a decidedly community-facing way of doing business rounding them out, Oris is appreciated — if not beloved — by beginner and tenured collectors alike.
The chronograph that we have here is a member of Oris' ever-expanding Diver Sixty-Five line - with a 43mm stainless steel case, a lovely domed sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a bronze unidirectional dive timing bezel with a black aluminum insert.
It features a luminous glossy black 'gilt' dial with applied indices, a matching ‘ladder’ handset, Oris Calibre 771 automatic winding chronograph movement with 48 hours of power reserve, and a matching stainless steel Oyster-style bracelet with a signed push-buton deployant clasp.
Though the Aquis is Oris’s flagship, professional dive watch, the Divers 65 — a kind of souped-up ‘skin diver’ — still boasts 100m of water resistance, and is ready to take a beating. Couple that with a versatile piece, with stunning timeless looks from one of our favorite independent brands - and you've got a winner.
