After all, conceiving and designing a movement from the ground up requires an immense amount of research and development, taking years on end and requiring heavy investment. Not too long ago, watches with in-house movements were not as common as they are today, and for good reason. Through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback of this watch, what you’re laying your eyes on is Oris’ in-house calibre 400. But we’re making an exception this time because what we have here is something special. Lastly, the brand offer a 10-year warranty on any Oris watch that runs on the calibre 400.It is uncustomary of us to start talking about a watch’s movement right from the get-go. Again, this can be a boon during diving expeditions or recreational outings in the deep seas. Secondly, the movement offers a five-day (120 hours) power reserve while beating at 28,800vph. This can be a vital trait for dive watches, and timing dives, given the unforeseen challenges underwater. It is why the watch can maintain an accuracy of -3/+5 seconds a day. Firstly, the watch ensures minimum deviations in timekeeping as it made using over 30 anti-magnetic components, which crosses the usual requirement as stated by the international horological standards of ISO 764. As all high-quality dive watches offer an impressive water-resistance, this Aquis model together with its protected crown and anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides, offers a 300m water resistance.Ĭalibre 400, developed in-house in 2020, is notable for three qualities. ![]() The open-worked caseback allows for a peek into this self-winding automatic movement, fitted with 21 blue jewels. With regard to the Aquis Date gold touch variants, all the four models have 41.5mm cases that perfectly enclose the self-winding automatic movement, Calibre 400, as revealed in the series title itself. Only the edges and outlines, basically the finer features, are made from 18-karat yellow goldĬasewise, the earlier Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 models began from 36.5mm, going upto 43.5mm. ![]() The four new Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 models are ‘touched by gold’, but ever so slightly. A few such legacy traits have trickled into the four models of the new Aquis Date Calibre 400 line that bring their own magic to the table with their ‘gold touch’ or outlines in gold. Before the Divers Sixty-Five collection paid obeisance to the original edition in 2015, the Oris Aquis Date collection did the same in 2011, and continues to do so with new editions in GMT and the Depth Gauge that run on evolved movements-calibres 400, 733, 761 or 798. A year before PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) was founded in 1966, entry-level Swiss watchmaker Oris jumped onto the bandwagon, and launched their first diving watch collection. From the early 1950s, the field of recreational diving started gaining ground, and the impact of the trend was felt when Swiss brands like Rolex, Omega and Blancpain introduced their first editions of divers’ watches. ![]()
