Is The New ORIS Divers Date 39mm A Worthy Upgrade And New Collection? A Deep Dive And Comparison

In this video, we take a closer look at the recently released Oris Divers Date taking a moment to compare its sibling, the Oris Divers SixtyFive. This new collection from the brand may seem familiar at first but features some overlooked changes that make it stand apart. That being said, did they do enough to warrant a wholly new collection listing?

I think the revisions look great, though I didn't mind (and maybe preferred) the old 40mm size. I also love that they finally gave it 200m WR. I am glad they improved the bracelet, but I feel like we should get a quick adjust clasp at that price, though I di appreciate the number of adjustment holes offered. Thanks for comparing it to the 38 and 40mm models in the video. That's pretty valuable. I'm going to call it the beige model (looks like the Windup shop does too), but that's my favorite. It's very unusual, which I appreciate. I got distracted by other brands at my last AD visit and forgot to ask to try one on, though I unfortunately did not see the beige model in the display case. I have an excuse to go back now.

As for the elephant in the room, the pricing is a bit challenging. I would prefer a higher grade for the movement at that price. Doxa offers COSC for less than that, as does Christopher Ward (and an SW300 with 56 hours of power reserve on top of that). Oris was a fairly good value when I got into watches in late 2018, but I'm not as certain now.

Doxa 200, Christopher Ward c60 are two which come to mind with the same caliber, similar specs and arguably reputation. Both are ~2.5 times cheaper

Nobody will ever justify spending that much a SW200. Idc how good the watch itself is.

[RobMyself]

Yikes. I'm just now entering the obsession of this hobby and I have to agree with that criticism. That's really a steep price, especially when compared to other offerings out there for less. However, it's a great looking watch for sure.

If they dropped a no date with the og 3 6 9 12 numerals, plus calibre 400, just take my money.

£2000 and no on the fly adjustmen is unacceptable in 2024... even £150 microbrand watches have sliding adjustments these days. I would of much rather they invested on a quick adjustment as opposed to a a quick release for the bracelet.

I'll pick one up when it's $1, 500 on the gray market. This is pushing Tudor money. A mineral case back? Come on.

A bit pricey. 39mm is my favorite diver

[Alex-Rainmaker]

This is kinda boring looking. ORIS needs to bring back something like the Big Crown Diver 7502. The coin edge bezel on that Oris diver makes it stands out.

27 x $100. It's insane how overpriced this product is.

[craiglibby]

Way overpriced for its specs. I see the Oris 65 pricing coming in more around $900-$1200 ish.

[jaywai]

Awkward price, bad movement finishing, uninspiring design.

[RabbitWatchShop]

They made it too sterile, boring, and ceramic. The first diver’s 65 watches looked better. Aluminum inserts and better dials. How cookie cutter can Oris get?
