Oris Divers Sixty-Five automatic black dial steel bracelet 42 mm

A diver's watch with vintage allure

The Divers Sixty-Five collection pays tribute to Oris's first diver's watch released in 1965. Revived at Baselworld 2015 as Divers 65, its success continues thanks to its contained dimensions, vintage look and controlled price, whatever the version. But this time around, Oris is adding to its emblematic Divers Sixty-Five collection with a two-tone model featuring a little something special...

This reference features a 42 mm-diameter steel case with 100-meter water-resistance and an oversized screw-down winding crown. This watch features a domed black dial, contrasted with cream-colored elements that complete its vintage look while offering optimal legibility is. A date window at 6 o'clock completes the functional look. The historic Oris coat of arms, the brand's logo at the time, is engraved on the caseback. But what is the subtlety of this model? It's the introduction of one of the most fascinating materials in contemporary watchmaking: bronze.

In fact, Oris has introduced the alloy in a very subtle - and unconventional - way, as the watch features a bronze highlight on the outer contour of its unidirectional rotating bezel. This combination with the rose gold PVD-treated hands and hour markers gives the watch all its warmth and vintage charm.Why is this alloy fascinating? Because bronze is a natural material, and depending on factors such as the pH of your skin or ambient humidity, a patina develops over time, giving each watch an absolutely unique look!

Finally, this Oris Divers Sixty-Five nonetheless retains the technical features of a 21st-century watch: a black aluminum diving insert, a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides, and hands and indexes coated with Super-LumiNova® instead of the tritium used in the 1960s.

A "Swiss Made" automatic movement

This Oris Divers Sixty-Five is powered by the Oris 733 movement, designed on a Sellita SW 200-1 base. This automatic caliber beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, offering a power reserve of 38 hours. It features an instant date window at 6 o'clock, as well as a fine adjustment and stop-second system.

In brief:

• A 100-meter waterproof diver
• A "Swiss Made" automatic caliber
• A subtle blend of steel and bronze
