Oris Divers Date

A much-loved Oris watch is reborn. Meet the stylish new Divers Date, a playful design inspired by a 1965 original and now upgraded for today’s world citizen. While the relaxed form of the outgoing Divers Sixty-Five is still evident, every element has been reworked to deliver elevated style and performance. The steely silhouette is slightly weightier, giving the watch more presence, a maturer profile and increased water
resistance, up from 10 bar (100 metres) to 20 bar (200 metres), and making it more suited to recreational diving, the sport that inspired the original. 

The uni-directional rotating diving bezel has also been upgraded to offer more grip and robustness, while the insert is now scratch- and fade-resistant ceramic. The dial has been sensitively improved, too. The hour markers now have bevelled edges, a subtle, almost imperceptible tweak that increases legibility.

The condensed typeface used on the dial has been developed exclusively for the new Divers collection to give it a commanding presence, while still capturing the retro spirit it’s inspired by. And the black, blue and beige dial colours available at launch pick up on a 1960s industrial palette. The metal bracelet has been gently refined and now has a quick strap change system so it can be switched out for the supplied black rubber strap. While increasing the water resistance, the Divers Date now has a transparent case back, too. Even its Oris Calibre 733 automatic has been upgraded, now promising 41 hours of power reserve. Six decades on, the Divers Date continues to bring joy.
