The Oris Aquis Collection

The Aquis line, known for its sporty dive watches, is a cornerstone of Oris's offerings, featuring high-performance materials, thoughtful design and fit-for-purpose functionalities. Launched in 2011, this collection represents a significant evolution in Oris's dive watch lineage. It stands as a popular choice among watch collectors, notably housing the in-house Caliber 400, Oris's second movement developed for the modern consumer.

Oris Aquis watches are acclaimed for their effective performance underwater, with models boasting water resistance up to 300 meters, a testament to their real-world utility. The design features, such as the tapered cylinder case, integrated steel bracelet or rubber strap and domed sapphire crystal, are distinctively Oris. 

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Collection

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date collection showcases Oris's rich history in pilot watchmaking, with its roots stretching back to the dawn of aviation. Introduced in 1938, the Big Crown has been a signature design, continuing to inspire and lead the collection with its unique blend of vintage charm and modern functionality.

The collection is celebrated for its distinctive pointer date complication, a feature that adds an elegant and functional twist to the traditional date display. Instead of the common date window, the Pointer Date showcases the date with a hand pointing to the date scale around the dial's edge, maintaining the dial's symmetry and enhancing legibility.

Mechanically, the collection is powered primarily by the Oris 754 movement, based on the Sellita SW200-1, featuring an automatic winding mechanism, a 38-hour power reserve and the brand's iconic Red Rotor visible through the open case back. Yet, Oris has also introduced models with in-house calibres, enhancing performance and adding new features to the lineup.

The Oris Divers Collection

The Oris Divers collection pays homage to Oris's pioneering dive watches from 1965, capturing the adventurous spirit of the era while integrating contemporary design and technology.

The catalogue offers a range of dial colours, including deep blues, vintage-inspired greys and vibrant pastels, ensuring there's a Divers Sixty-Five for every style. The bezels are unidirectional, aligning with dive watch standards and come in stainless steel with aluminium, bronze or ceramic inserts for added functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Oris didn't just stop with the Divers Sixty-Five; they expanded the lineage by introducing the Divers Seventy-Five, celebrating the brand's continuous innovation while staying true to its heritage. This newer addition features a stainless steel case with a bronze bezel, printed oversized 70s-style indices and a multi-colour dial that stands out in any watch collection.

Oris ProPilot and ProPilot X Collections

The Oris ProPilot and ProPilot X collections offer a masterclass in function-based design, specifically made for aviation enthusiasts who demand cockpit-ready functionality fused with an understated aesthetic. 

A pivotal moment in Oris's history was the introduction of its first in-house movement in 35 years, the Caliber 110, back in 2014. This movement, along with its derivatives found in the ProPilot list, such as the hand-wound Caliber 111, Caliber 114 with a GMT feature and the skeletonised Caliber 115 in the ProPilot X, underscores Oris's commitment to mechanical excellence and innovation.

The Big Crown ProPilot pays homage to Oris’s inaugural flight-oriented watches from the 1930s when legibility and functionality were paramount for pilots. Today's collection retains these critical elements with case sizes conducive to easy reading and an iconic oversized crown reminiscent of early aviation needs.

Whether it's the enduring allure of the ProPilot with its homage to traditional aviation watches or the cutting-edge appeal of the ProPilot X, Oris succeeds in creating timepieces deeply rooted in the brand's storied heritage and forward-looking vision.
