    Oris adds second retro Divers Sixty-Five model

    Oris first launched the Diver Sixty-Five, inspired heavily by a model they originally produced in 1965, at Baselworld 2015. The Sixty-Five just started hitting stores in August/September 2015. And already it is selling very well. So, Oris has decided to release a second version (Ref. No. 733 7707 4065). The 40 mm stainless steel case,…

    Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition Hands-On

    We previewed the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition bronze dive watch back in January. Today, we have hands-on images of the actual watch, taken at the Baselworld 2016 watch show where it officially debuted last week. Quite frankly, the professional brand supplied product images don’t do it justice, as it looks much better once you…

    Photo Report: Oris at the beach

    An Oris Divers 65 is my go to watch for wearing with short sleeves, going to pool parties or the beach. I really like vintage Tudor and Rolex Submariners but with old watches, you always worry about water entering the case. Not to mention, they are often in need of costly overhauls and repairs and…

    Oris Williams Chronograph Carbon Valtteri Bottas Limited Edition Watch review

    What shocked me was that, compared with diving or pilots watches, the racing theme Oris Hours may not get the attention it deserves. In all three major sports watch categories (diving, flying, driving), there are many options for consumers to choose, and in all three areas, there is little this to say if you like…

    Reach for the skies with the Oris Pro-Pilot Big Crown Day Date

    Avalon will be one of the busiest air spaces. Usually sleep when the airport will convert the most advanced aircraft, including the huge British Air Force Atlas transport aircraft and f – 35 joint attack fighters (first seen in Australia), the lightning pulled from the sky down. Of course, the reason is twice a year…

    Reviewing Oris Artelier Jumping Hour

    Jump hours are one of the more uncommon, but cool complications you can find on a watch. Well, in my opinion that is. By removing the hour hand and creating a digital readout, one that in a true jump hour instantly changes at the top of the hour, you get something that is both interesting…

    Reviewing Oris ProDiver Chronograph

    Designed for Extremes While the recreational diver would find as much appeal in the Oris ProDiver, this professional Oris dive watch is the deep-water equivalent of heavy machinery. “In this world of diving, we’re not talking about pretty turquoise waters and dolphins — we’re talking about tough and uncompromising conditions in inhospitable waters,” Oris CEO…
