While the Aquis, which has been recently revised, represents the modern side of dive watches at Oris, the Divers Sixty-Five collection is, as you might have guessed by the name, its vintage-inspired counterpart. An instrumental model for the brand’s recent history, the ’65 has been presented in dozens of editions, with manufacture movement, a chronograph, […]
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five resurfaced in 2015, fifty years after its inaugural splash. Leaning on the design cues of its ancestor, the revisited Divers Sixty-Five oozed vintage pedigree.

Given its complexity and often lethargic pace, cricket is not a sport that pops up in the crosshairs of watch brand alliances. However, in 2022, Oris struck an alliance with the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), becoming the first official timekeeper in the club’s history. Celebrating this three-year partnership, Oris and the MMC have collaborated on […]
Oris made a splash a couple of years ago with the release of the immediately popular Divers Sixty-Five bronze series, the Cotton Candy, featuring vibrant, eye-catching dials in pink, light blue, and green, offered on a multi-piece bronze metal bracelet or leather strap.

Being an independent brand grants Oris the freedom to explore and foster creativity without undue caution. The latest release from the Swiss manufacture is based on the contemporary and well-engineered ProPilot Calibre 400, unveiled by the watchmakers of Hölstein last year.
