Oris Divers Sixty-Five

This version of the evergreen Oris Divers Sixty-Five has a brown gradient dial that gives the watch a warm, almost hazy feel, like a never-ending Mediterranean sunset. The same rich hues are picked up by the watch’s bronze detailing, appearing on the bezel’s outer edge and in the central link of the metal bracelet. The spirit of the watch continues to evoke memories of 1965, the year of Oris’s first diver’s watch, although a 40mm stainless steel case, domed sapphire crystal, screw-down crown and automatic mechanical movement are all quality signifiers that show what the contemporary iteration of the Divers Sixty-Five brings to the table. Or should that be to the beach?
