I imagine there would have been a meeting at Oris HQ when product teams would have thrashed out whether its exciting new in house developed movement, the Calibre 400<\/a><\/span>, would be used first in an Oris Divers Sixty-Five or the more eye-catching Aquis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Team Aquis carried the day and the anti-magnetic movement \u2014 with its 5-day power reserve, accuracy that would pass COSC certification standards and 10-year warranty \u2014 is adopted by two Aquis Date models that go on sale this week.<\/p>\n

Oris says its current collection is full of high-performance, fit-for-purpose mechanical watches, but there was only one candidate when it came to which collection would use the\u00a0 Calibre 400.<\/p>\n

Whatever.<\/p>\n

The Aquis would have been my choice as well, not least because it is Oris’s most commercially successful collection right now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It also has more window appeal thanks to the almost luminescent sunray dials framed by elegant ceramic bezels; in the case of the Aquis Date Calibre 400, Oris has opted for the graduated blue dial that looks like a sunlit ocean under a clear blue sky.<\/p>\n

There are subtle changes to the Calibre 400 over previous Aquis Dates including “5 Days” written on the dial to denote the watch’s power reserve.<\/p>\n

The date window is also slightly larger and the date is picked out in white on a black background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Flip the watch over, and the new movement can be seen through a larger sapphire exhibition case back.<\/p>\n

Oris has maintained important attributes for dive watches including a uni-directional bezel, 300 meter water resistance and legible SuperLumiNova-filled hands and indices.<\/p>\n

There is a version on a rubber strap or a steel bracelet that can be quickly swapped without tools.<\/p>\n

They are selling for \u00a32,600 on rubber and \u00a32,700 on steel.<\/p>\n
