Oris is reaching a huge milestone, and that?s the 60th anniversary of their renowned Divers Sixty-Five, a watch collection that?s always been imbued in 1960?s nostalgia. Today they?re updating the Divers Date, a collection that on first glance may look quite familiar to you, but upon closer inspection reveals an entirely new concept. 

Apart from the obvious changes such as the new dial options, which have now moved from the previous more outgoing array, to what can now be perceived as a more subdued industrial chic black, blue, and beige ? the watch has gone through a substantial technical upgrade in both its aesthetic and its functionality.

Oris has always catered to a loyal base of watch enthusiasts, ensuring they only produce high value mechanical watches with meaningful heritage behind them. The new Divers Date really follows along this line of thinking, but augments the owners experience with this new release. Some of the notable aesthetic changes include a slight thickening and increased weight to the case, to create a touch more presence and more compact feeling on the wrist, as explained by their designer Lukas Bu?hlmann. The side profile of the case has also been reshaped, giving it a more mature and substantial style.
The most impressive material upgrade has to be the new ceramic bezel insert, which was previously aluminum. This was a much-anticipated upgrade for the collection, seeing that most other watch brands have moved to ceramic in the past few years...
