The Oris Aquis Date Caliber retails for $3300 on rubber and $3500 on the shown steel bracelet and that includes a 10-year warranty.Įditor's note: Watch companies sometimes announce new products to the HODINKEE editorial team and the HODINKEE Shop at the same time. It is Oris's first watch using their new Caliber 400 automatic movement which features a 5-day power reserve, anti-magnetic design, and automatic winding. MOVEMENT: Oris Calibre 400: MOVEMENT TYPE: Automatic: DIMENSIONS: Diameter: 30.00 mm Height: 4. The Oris Aquis Date Caliber 400 is a steel dive watch with a case that measures 43.5 x 49 x 13mm. Oris remains a small and independent manufacturer with an unwavering focus on watch enthusiasts (not to mention bear-based mascots), and within that context, the Aquis Date Caliber 400 is nothing short of a solid move(ment). This movement is the current pinnacle of Oris movement development, boasting a 120.
So, while the Aquis might be the most predictable launch model, it certainly sets a strong value and enthusiast tone for the Caliber 400 moving forward.Īn Oris dive watch with a five-day, highly anti-magnetic movement that is also backed by a 10-year warranty is something I think we can all simply appreciate, and I'm excited to see where and how the company uses the 400 in future applications. Oris sets a new standard with an innovative in-house automatic movement Introducing the Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400, the first watch to carry the new. As the name already suggests, it is powered by the brands calibre 400. Heck, the brand's previous in-house offering was the very impressive Big Crown ProPilot X Caliber 115, and it retailed for $7,600. Whether were looking at a Ferris wheel with its open workings, or a mechanical watch movement through a case back, it warms us to see how things work. Also, while the Aquis 400 is a considerable leap in price over third-party-powered Aquii (I still don't know what the plural of Aquis is), it's still a good chunk less expensive than a Black Bay 41 and more feature-packed than much of the competition from other brands like Grand Seiko (big dive watches), NOMOS, or even Baume & Mercier. In this case, I don't believe such a comparison to be apples-to-apples, especially when it comes to the initial price point and the movement specs (power reserve, anti-mag, warranty).
