Oris’s flagship diver family is pretty diverse but this is in fact the first time that an Aquis has been equipped with a diver’s bezel with a 24-hour scale.
The significance of this is that the watch can now display the time in three separate time-zones on the go:
one via a traditional central hour and minute hands; the second via the yellow-tipped central hand; and a third read off against the diver’s bezel.
And despite the watch’s globetrotting attributes, it is very much a diver. Its 43.5mm multi-construction Stainless steel case is water-resistant to 300 meters and is equipped with:
a screw-down crown with protection, and it is offered with a range of straps and a metal bracelet that are come with extending folding clasps for wearing over a wetsuit.
But the best is about the Aquis GMT is its gorgeous graduated blue dial which is surrounded by a black ceramic inlay with said 24hr scale.
The new ORIS Aquis GMT Date Ref. No. 01 798 7754 4135 has a Swiss retail price 260CHF and will be available form April this year.
Thoughts? Oris has resisted the urge to go for a two-tone bezel. I wonder how this would look with a Pepsi bezel? What do you think?
