CANDY CRUSH
Although the sepia from cuttlefish ink turns black, the well-known toning in photography tends to go for brown and even bronze. This new reference combines both.
After its Hölstein Edition 2020 boasting a bronze case, Oris rolled out a daring combination of dials in 2021 flaunting pastel shades with cases crafted in the same warm-hued alloy. As the end of the year comes around, the Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy is back, but with novel features. This model still takes on the 38 mm-diameter case, waterproof to depths of 100 meters, and still fashioned in this coppery metal yet, for this Sepia version, it twins up with a deep black dial. On top, the hour and minute hands, the lollipop-style direct-drive and the markers dressed in Super-Luminova® stand out wonderfully-well with their golden glint akin to the glimmer of the alloy used for the case. A discreet date nestles at 6 o’clock. And, to ensure there’s no risk of allergy from this metal, the caseback is made of steel.
This watch pursues its route with the Caliber 733. This selfwinding movement comes with a stop-seconds system, which ensures accurate time setting. What’s more, it delivers 38 hours’ autonomy to the watch. And, just like the other bronze pieces imagined by Oris, the Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy Sepia will develop a patina over time in line with its owner’s lifestyle. The manufacture has opted for unstable bronze. This reference can be worn on a rubber strap or, for a perfect match, on an alternative bracelet, comprised of links forged in the same metal as the case, and attached by a folding clasp.
