EDITOR’S PICK: Win the sold out, bronze hotness that is the Oris Carl Brashear Divers Sixty-Five. Here’s why you want it…

Editor’s note: The Divers Sixty-Five has been a runaway hit for Oris. Now, in its second collection, it’s offered in two sizes, with an ever-increasing range of dial options (green being the latest).
