2016 Oris Diver 65 Navy Blue Automatic 42mm on Bracelet

Here we have a 2016 Oris Diver 65 Navy Blue Automatic on a Bracelet. Unveiled in 2015 at Baselworld, the Oris Divers Sixty-Five is a heritage lineup that captures the essence of the original, utilising modern materials and movements to bring it up to date. Unlike the original, the case size is a more contemporary 42mm, and a lug-to-lug length of 50.5mm and a case thickness of 13mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a screw-down signed crown. The unidirectional stainless steel bezel features a black aluminium insert with a silver 60-minute scale. A domed, sapphire crystal AR-coated on the inside sits above a glossy navy blue dial with applied disc and baton indexes coated in Super-Luminova, marking the hours. At 3 o’clock, we have a framed date window, with slender steel baton hands complemented by a lollipop sweeping second hand, filled in with Super-Luminova. Text is precisely printed at 12 “Oris Automatic” and 6 “Water Resistant 10 bar/100m” respectively. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with the Oris shield in the centre, inside an automatic Oris Cal. 733, 26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour based on the Sellita SW200-1. The watch comes paired with its original Oris 21mm faux-rivet (secured by screws) stainless steel bracelet secured by a signed push-button folding deployant clasp; all links are provided and include its Oris presentation Box & Papers.

This watch is sold with its original Oris box and Papers. The watch comes paired with its original Oris 21mm faux-rivet (secured by screws) stainless steel bracelet secured by a signed push-button folding deployant clasp; all links are provided.

Oris was founded in the picturesque Swiss town of Hölstein by two visionary entrepreneurs, Paul Cattin and George Christian. In 1904, they took a significant step by acquiring a factory and formalising their commitment to the community by signing a contract with the local mayor. Initially, Oris focused on crafting exquisite pocket watches. However, in a pivotal move in 1925, they began incorporating bracelets into their pocket timepieces, which marked the beginning of their evolution towards wristwatches. By 1929, their ambition had led to establishing a robust manufacturing network, with six factories operating under the Oris name. As the decades progressed, Oris solidified its status in the watchmaking industry, becoming one of the largest watch companies globally by the late 1960s, producing an impressive 1.2 million timepieces each year. In 1982, the brand experienced a transformational moment when Dr. Rolf Portmann and Ulrich W. Herzog orchestrated a management buyout from the Swatch Group, expressing dissatisfaction with the company’s management style. This bold decision culminated in the establishment of Oris SA as an independent Swiss watch brand. The journey of Oris has been marked by several notable milestones. In 1906, they expanded their operations by opening a second factory in Holderbank, followed by a third factory in Como in 1908. By 1911, Oris had become the largest employer in Hölstein, reflecting its rapid growth and unwavering dedication to quality craftsmanship. By 1914, they had reached another impressive feat, having produced over a million watches. Oris has a rich history intertwined with aviation. In the 1920s, the brand made significant strides in developing pilots' watches, recognising the unique needs of aviators. This commitment culminated in 1938 with the launch of the iconic Big Crown—a distinctive pilot's watch featuring a large crown designed for easy adjustment, even while wearing gloves. In 2002, they proudly registered the Red Rotor, an emblematic symbol of their watchmaking philosophy, solidifying their identity in the horological world. In recent years, Oris has continued innovating, unveiling the Calibre 400 in 2020. This marked a significant milestone as it was the brand’s first in-house-developed automatic movement in decades, underscoring Oris's commitment to enhancing its legacy of mechanical excellence.
