Gray and Gradient: Oris Launches a Fresh-Faced Divers Sixty-Five
Oris has had a watershed year since last October, introducing its first in-house movement, Caliber 400, following it up with the launch of Caliber 401, and unveiling a steady stream of interesting models like the Aquis Date Upcycle and Aquis Date Caliber 400 41.5 mm, the latter of which will be showcased at this year?s WatchTime New York 2021 event. This week, Oris continues its steady stream of new releases, adding a new, gray-and-turquoise colorway to its popular Divers Sixty-Five collection.
The new watch is the latest non-limited update to the collection since the launch of the Divers Sixty-Five ?Cotton Candy? editions (below) this past spring, which were notable for their bronze case-and-bracelet construction paired with bright pastel dials. The addition of more Divers Sixty-Five versions in traditional steel indicates Oris’s commitment to the collection as a standard bearer in the catalog rather than as a niche novelty line alone.
The latest Divers Sixty-Five is, at least in construction, highly similar in style to its predecessors, in the 1965-inspired vintage dive-watch design that informs the entire collection. The 40-mm steel case, its edges featuring a primarily brushed finishing, features a screw-down crown, sans crown guards, and a unidirectional diving bezel. On the bezel, we find the watch?s first distinguishing factor, namely the small dot, bathed in turquoise Super-LumiNova, whose color matches the accents on the dial.
