Oris clearly believes in the robustness of this movement. The best bit? It comes with a 10-year warranty and a 10 year recommended service interval. In the current configuration the movement features central hours, minutes and seconds, a date at 6 and it hacks.
Thanks to the silicon escapement the movement is also anti-magnetic, a very welcomed feature for everyone who had suffered from magnetized watches in the past.
Its impressive 120 hours of power reserve is generated from of its twin barrel configuration. People have even spotted the Oris Bear’s face in their case back. Not only does it adhere to tighter accuracy standards than mandated by the chronometer certification from COSC (-3/+5 spd) but it’s also much nicer to look at. I n-house Calibre 400, -3/+5 seconds per day, COSC certified, 4 Hz, 120 hours power reserveĬompared to the usually used Selitta SW200-1 automatic it’s immediately apparent that Oris went all out on the development of their in-house calibre. It is just steel which makes these two releases as toned down as two tone watches can get. Thankfully, it is tastefully done, with no gold on the bracelet not even in the form of coating or capping. Both dial colours, which are already rather vibrant, were already in the collection before this release but the 18k gold bezel with its ceramic insert really pushes luxurious vibe of these watches up quite a bit. But these small changes make quite a significant difference. Quite frankly, these watches are basically the same as the rest of its similar size Aquis modes the only new thing in these watches is the gold bezel, indices and hands. Rubber strap or steel bracelet (brushed or polished) with diver’s extension with quick release mechanism, with AR coating, screwed crown guards. Design & Watch SepcificationsĤ1.5mm diameter steel case, 18k yellow gold bezel with ceramic insert, sapphire crystal green or blue sunray dial, gold indices & hands, Super Luminova BG W9 inserts, 300m water resistance Well, now we have another option with the in-house movement, dressed up two-tone versions, kicking things up a notch. If you just wanted to enjoy that beautiful Oris Aquis aesthetic– by all means go for the Selitta version. If you valued the internal mechanism over just the look and wearability of the watch then you could go for the more expensive in-house to enjoy all the features this movement can deliver. They left the choice of the movement with the buyer. At the same time, the did not discontinue their Selitta based watches. And all this could be had without excessive price increases. It came with very impressive features 120 hours of power reserve, instantaneous date change, and an antimagnetic escapement. When Oris released their in-house automatic movement calibre “400” just two years ago, it caused quite some excitement in the mid-price watch sector.
