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 Aquis serves as one of the foundational models that has seen an array of different case sizes, complications and dial configurations. This Oris Aquis Date is yet another extension of the brand's 'Change For The Better' campaign and contribution to environmental conservation while simultaneously leading the way for the entire watch industry to follow.
This piece features a 41.5mm stainless steel case with a domed sapphire crystal, signed screw-down crown and a 'ghost' ceramic rotating timing bezel. Powered by the Calibre 733-1 self winding movement, this piece comes equipped with a multi-link stainless steel bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp.
The dial is composed of recycled PET plastic with each dial having its own pattern of blue, red and purple tones. Buoyed by applied lumionus markers, matching handset and a date window at 6 o'clock, this dial is a badge of dedication for what matter most to the brand hailing from Holstein.
Certainly the brand's flagship, professional dive watch, this Aquis Date has all elements of a versatile piece with let-your-hair-down looks. Accompanied with a complete kit, this piece is easily a winner in our books.
