The New, Next-Generation Oris Aquis

Oris presents the next-generation, the new Oris Aquis, a fresh interpretation of the Swiss company’s high-performance diver’s watch. Oris has been making diver’s watches since the 1960s. The first Aquis was characterised by the design of its muscular horns and uni-directional rotating bezel. While the horns were designed so the metal bracelet or rubber strap would pivot to fit a wide range of wrist sizes, the broad bezel and its oversized numerals delivered outstanding underwater legibility. Both features delivered practical benefits that have made the Aquis a design icon and one of the first names in diver’s watches.

Let us say this much: The new Aquis Date continues both the spirit and design DNA of its predecessor. Oris’s designers have added a touch of elegance to the tool watch to reflect the versatility owners now expect from a diver’s watch. Oris diver’s watches are no longer just for underwater adventures, but for literally every occasion.
The horns and bracelets are now thinner, giving the case and the whole watch a more slender profile. The hands and indices have been redesigned to look bolder and sharper, and the screw-in security crown and crown protectors have been refined to give the watch a sleeker silhouette. The bezel inlay is made of black, scratch-resistant ceramic, and the dial now carries the Aquis name.

As well as aesthetic improvements, the new Aquis Date also delivers practical enhancements. The uni-directional bezel is now easier to grip, due to a small gap introduced between the case and the body, allowing greater purchase. The Aquis Date is water-resistant up to 30 bar, making it ideal for experienced scuba divers.
The case is made from stainless steel with a diameter of 43,5 mm.

The new Oris Aquis Date is powered by an automatic movement, the Oris Cal. 733 with date.
The new watch is a stylish diver’s watch and Oris Chairman Ulrich W. Herzog is proud of the companies newest watch: „We are extremely pleased with the next generation Aquis diver’s watch. This is a beautiful, hugely reliable underwater tool watch, made using the exacting techniques and according to the highest standards of Swiss watch manufacturing.“
