MECHANICAL DELIGHT
The Swiss brand extends the pleasure of summer’s mild weather with a new collection of steel watches featuring dials in vibrant, gourmand and radiant colors.
It’s no secret that color has a prodigious influence on our emotions. As a source of inspiration, it can be naturally energizing, reassuring, calming… Even more effective than any chemical molecule sold in pharmacies! Oris understands the importance of putting nuances into our lives and on our wrists to bring joy and stand out from the crowd. The Hölstein-based brand invites dynamic hues into its catalog, from the lime dial of the ProPilot X Kermit Edition unveiled last spring to the summery Divers Sixty-Five “Cotton Candy”. Building on the success of the 2022 bronze pieces, they are now available in a steel version, whose soft silvery reflections allow the colored dials to express themselves fully. A real treat!
Divers Sixty-Five is first and foremost an emblematic design that evokes the spirit of a 1960s diver’s watch, hence the name of the collection which recalls the date of the first diver produced by Oris. This Sixties silhouette blends perfectly with the available palette: pool blue, candy pink and Persian green. Protected by a delicately domed sapphire crystal, the dial features applied geometric hour-markers curved by a thin minute track, two central baton-style hour and minute hands, a polka-dot “lollipop” second hand, and a date display in black on a white background in a window at 6 o’clock. The presence of Super-LumiNova® facilitates information gathering in all light conditions. Carrying the “diver” gene inherited from the past, the Divers Sixty-Five “Cotton Candy” has a 38mm-diameter steel case, topped with a graduated bezel in relief, whose solid screw-down caseback and crown help guarantee water-resistance to a depth of 100m. The case houses the Oris 733 automatic caliber, based on a Sellita SW 200-1, which delivers 38 hours of power reserve.
