Oris’s popular Aquis Date dive watch collection got a refresh at Watches & Wonders 2024. While maintaining its core identity, the new Aquis Date boasts a range of improvements focused on comfort, wearability, and sustainability.
41.5mm
The most noticeable changes are the size options. The familiar 43.5mm and 41.5mm models are joined by a new, smaller 36.5mm size specifically designed for a more comfortable fit on smaller wrists. All models benefit from shorter lugs and a slimmer profile for improved ergonomics.
43.5mm
A redesigned stainless steel bracelet with tapered links enhances comfort further. The iconic unidirectional bezel gets a makeover with a refined ceramic insert, while the dial receives subtle upgrades with sharper hands, cleaner indices, and a new, more legible font. The date window now seamlessly integrates with the dial color for a more polished look.
36.5mm
Sustainability is a key focus with the Aquis Date Upcycle model featuring a recycled PET plastic dial.
Movement options cater to diverse preferences. The 43.5mm flagship boasts the high-performance Caliber 400 with a 5-day power reserve and a 10-year warranty. Other models utilize the reliable Oris 733 movement.
The prices range from EUR 2,200 to EUR 3,700 depending on the model, bracelet/strap choice, and additional features like the Caliber 400 movement.
