Description

The spirit of Oris’ first diver’s watch, launched in 1965, continues to inspire the shape of the Divers Sixty-Five, but now, for the first time, it is equipped with Caliber 400, a revolutionary automatic movement.A diving machine with a vintage lookThe Divers Sixty-Five collection pays tribute to Oris’ first dive watch released in 1965. Updated at Baselworld 2015 as Divers 65, its success is undeniable thanks to its contained dimensions, vintage look and controlled price, regardless of the version.On this reference, we find a steel case of 40 mm in diameter with a water resistance to 100 meters and an oversized winding crown screwed. Its matte black dial tends towards gray, and its legibility is optimal. The date display is discreet but legible at 6 o’clock, still with the same objective of functionality.The other particularity of this Divers Sixty-Five is that it is equipped with a bi-directional rotating bezel at 12 o’clock (hence its name), designed to serve as a second time zone.Technical sideThe Oris Calibre 400 presented in 2020 was designed to fit a wide range of models from the independent house. It was therefore logical to find this movement in this new ProPilot X range. Totally new and designed entirely by the Oris Manufacture, this automatic movement defines “the new standard of performance in watchmaking” according to the brand. Indeed, there are four important characteristics to remember about this caliber:Thanks to the use of two barrels, this Calibre 400 can deliver up to 120 hours of power reserve.It offers an accuracy of up to -3/+5 seconds per day, exceeding the COSC requirement of -4 to +6 seconds per day.About thirty non-ferrous components are present within the Caliber, thus allowing a proven antimagnetism. One finds in particular an escapement wheel and a silicon anchor.It comes with a ten-year warranty and only requires maintenance every ten years as well.Moreover, this caliber is visible on the back through a sapphire crystal. Its finishes are sober and correspond to the philosophy of the caliber and the brand. We can appreciate a uniform sandblasting that highlights the different parts of this Caliber 400, and we can also notice the head of the teddy bear, mascot of the house Oris. The rubies for the eyes, the barrels for the ears and the openworked oscillating weight for the smile.In briefA vintage style dive watchAn Oris 400 movement with exceptional performanceA waterproofness of 100 m
