Oris knows exactly what they are doing. Instead of reinventing the wheel, they just keep making it spin a little smoother. The 1965 vintage-inspired Diver Sixty-Five line was a massive home run for them for a decade, but the 2024 overhaul into the “Divers Date” took the watch into a much more modern territory. For 2026, they are expanding the lineup with a shade that feels entirely right for this watch: military olive green.
If you loved the old Sixty-Five but wished it felt just a bit more solid on the wrist, the Divers Date architecture is where Oris fixes those gripes. The 316L steel case hits that sweet spot at 39mm x 12.1mm, and 46.5mm from lug to lug. They slimmed down the caseback and thickened up the middle of the case to give it more presence, while actually shortening the footprint so it sits beautifully on almost any wrist size.
The bezel got a major upgrade too. Gone is the old-school aluminum insert that was prone to scratching. Now, you get a grippy, unyielding black ceramic insert that frames the dial. Coupled with a screw-down crown and a heavy-duty double-domed sapphire crystal with antireflective coating, the water resistance climbs to a proper 200 meters. That is double what the original baseline Sixty-Five models used to offer, giving you actual peace of mind if you take this thing past the pool edge.
The star of the show here is the dial color. Joining the existing black, blue, and beige family, this deep olive green takes its cues straight from classic vintage military gear. It is muted, industrial, and looks sharp against the stark black of the ceramic bezel.
You get chiseled, applied hour markers stuffed with bright Super-LumiNova, a matching handset, and that classic “lollipop” seconds hand tracking the outer track. The date window is tucked away at 6 o’clock, keeping the dial layout balanced.
Under the hood, Oris is sticking with their trusted workhorse: the Oris Calibre 733-1. Based on the ubiquitous Sellita SW-200, this automatic movement runs at a smooth 4Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and packs a 41-hour power reserve. While it might not have the multi-day power reserve of their in-house Calibre 400, it keeps the watch affordable, reliable, and cheap to service down the road. You can check out the signature red Oris rotor spinning away through the clear sapphire exhibition caseback.
The watch ships as a complete set. You get their vintage-style riveted 316L steel bracelet along with a durable black rubber strap. Thanks to the integrated quick-change system, you can swap between the two in seconds without scratching up your lugs with a spring bar tool.
The Oris Divers Date Olive Green 01 733 7795 4057-Set is dropping straight into the permanent collection, so for the hardcore fans, no limited-edition panic here. It is available immediately and carries a price tag of USD 2,800/CHF 2,450/EUR 2,450/GBP 2,100. If you want a tough, heritage-styled daily diver that skips the usual black or blue options, this olive green variant is about as versatile as it gets.
