The 40mm stainless steel case is water resistant to 100m. While it’s still a diver under ISO 6425 standards, and I am aware that the very first diving watches had bi-directional bezels, it is a little baffling. I may be being thick here, but what is the point of this? The unidirectional diving bezel keeps you safe as the bezel is designed to move backwards (in the safety direction) if knocked. For reasons beyond my understanding, they’ve swapped out the unidirectional for a bi-directional watch with 1-hour intervals. Speaking of the bezel, Oris has fallen into the same trap as Omega has with their Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT. The domed crystal over the dial, thin bezel and lugs with large diameter crown come together to form that historical vibe. Inspired by Oris watches from the 1960s, as the name implies, the Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400 with its long name takes us on a trip back in time. Most brands have a range of watches that are dedicated to looking quite historical, looking back at where the brand has come from as a springboard to lead onto where they’re going next. It’s a heck of a machine but in the past, I didn’t personally see it rolled out in watch models that really resonated with me. The Divers Sixty-Five range is one of the ranges Oris is most well-known for, it could be the most, but they also make the Aquis, and there are loads of them on forums. Oris Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400 Updated: AugBy: Michael Penate At TBWS, we’ve admittedly been guilty of slightly brushing aside the release of Oris’ in-house Caliber 400 movement. Oris, ever the crowdpleaser, is presenting some new models, the one that caught our eye the most is the Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400. Think of it as a mini Watches & Wonders event. Geneva Watch Days, which is happening right now, shows off lots of new and exciting creations from all manner of brands.
