Oris at Geneva Watch Days

Text & picture: Mia Litström

Oris always offers watches with a lovely combination of playfulness and sportiness and they are particularly attractive thanks to their prices, which suit a broad customer base. The latest collection includes an impressive diver's watch as well as elegant Aquis Date in black and white. In addition, a special edition of the Divers Sixty-Five Date is presented, where the proceeds from the sale go to a charity organisation, which makes it a meaningful choice for conscious customers. 

Aquis Chronograph ref.0177177934155

This is an impressive chronograph in steel, with a striking blue dial and a rotating case ring in ceramic. The beautiful blue colour, called Gradient Blue, also adorns the smaller dials that are used for the chronograph functions, which creates a harmonious whole together with the case and the link in steel. The heart of the watch is the automatic movement 771, which offers an extended power reserve of 62 hours and a date display at 6 o'clock in one of the small dials. With a generous size of 43,50 mm in diameter and a height of 16,2 mm, the watch is nonetheless smaller than earlier generations. The overall impression is both powerful and elegant, which makes it a perfect companion as a diver's watch. Its water resistance of 300 metres reinforces the functionality under water. The price is 55 400 kr

Aquis date ref. 0173377924154 & 0173377924151

A pleasant smaller model of the Aquis which has the size 36,50 mm, which is a more elegant type of watch but which still feels lovely and sporty. The model has an automatic movement, 733, which has a power reserve of 41 hrs. The new models have either a black or a white dial and are available both with a steel link and with a bracelet in rubber. Both versions are very good-looking and I think they come off best with a rubber bracelet since it becomes a more delicious contrast and more exciting. The versions with a link are also very becoming, but it becomes a cooler sporty style with a bracelet in rubber. 

The price is 29 200 kr with a link and 28 100 kr with a bracelet in rubber. There is also a version with a multicoloured dial which has a price of 29 800 kr. 

Divers Sixty-Five Date LFP Limited Editon ref. 0173377714085

This watch stands out with an elegant dark blue dial, and on a closer look you discover a playful detail. The text “Water resistant”, which is in lovely colourful shades instead of in the traditional white. Oris has chosen to create a watch that is not only very good-looking, but that also makes a difference. Through a collaboration with LFP (Ligue de Football Professionnel) and CNAPE, the French organisation for child protection, Oris supports a football tournament for children, where the proceeds from every watch sold go directly to CNAPE. This is a very positive and meaningful initiative. The watch has a handy size of 38 mm and it is driven an automatic movement called 733 which has a power reserve of 41 hours and is water resistant down to 100 metres. The watch is limited to 1 000 pieces and has a price of 29 900 kr.
