Oris launches
two new models of their high-performance diver’s watch Aquis: One version with a new oceanic blue gradient dial that joins
the collection of 39.5 mm models. And in response to customer feedback, one larger
version with a case size of 41.5 mm.
Both are water resistant to 30 bar (300 m) and feature a uni-directional rotating bezel (with tungsten or ceramic insert, depending on model). They are both powered by caliber Oris 733 (base Sellita SW200-1) with a power reserve of 38 hours.
The new Aquis models are worn on a stainless-steel metal bracelet with folding clasp and are enhanced by Oris’s clasp-extension system for quick adjustment while wearing a wetsuit. The larger model is also available on a rubber strap. Price: 1,950 euros with metal bracelet or 1,750 euros with rubber strap (only for 41.5 mm execution).
