Pulling from their extensive archives, the Divers Sixty-Five was based on a quirky and distinctly Oris mid-century design (originally launched in 1965) that gave the watch a unique look and flavor. Originally re-released in 2015, the Divers Sixty-Five was Oris’ first foray into heritage diver territory, and a very successful one at that. As a bonus, Oris also threw in a ventile carrying case and card holder. Additionally, the case back has been etched with TLP’s logo, and the watch is equipped with an exceptionally rugged Ventile strap in olive green. The combination is undeniably appealing, adding overt military-style to this already aggressive watch. Limited to 750 units, this model is based on the 44mm day/date version of the ProPilot, but features a matte olive green dial and a gun metal PVD case. For this new limited edition, Oris teamed up with TLP, the Tactical Leadership Programme, a pilot training school based in Albacete, Spain. A rare unique vision of a common type of watch, large numerals made of molded lume, and a distinctive turbine motif along the bezel and crown give them undeniable personality. The Oris Big Crown ProPilot line is the brand’s take on the modern pilot’s watch. Sporting classic Aquis styling in every way, this piece is a sleeper of sorts – a modern classic on the outside, cutting edge movement tech on the inside. The first watch to feature this new movement is none other than the Aquis, Oris’ very popular modern dive watch. Featuring a five-day power reserve (120 hours), high resistance to magnetism, and a 10-year recommended service interval, Oris is calling this “the new standard” for automatic mechanical movements. In late 2020, Oris released their latest in-house movement, the Calibre 400.
