- Hands on with a fantastic dive watch! A watch that truly made me so happy and have hope in the world again! The Oris Aquis New York Harbour Limited Edition made in partnership with The Billion Oysters Project. Honestly, I loved this watch. This has become my new favourite Aquis AAAAND I learned, the 41.5mm Aquis fits me just fine!
Anyways, this video is just all my thoughts and feelings on this watch. :) I'd love to hear yours.

Ok a couple of things I need to clear up! 1. It is the Oris 733 movement in this watch :) not 722! Typo on my part haha. And I have to wear a vest because it is so dang cold in the garage where I film!
Haha. I am waiting for Winter when it is Britt in vest, scarf, winter hat and gloves 😂
A garage is for a car or bike NOT for a superstar CZcams Queen…. Shame on you Watch Papi , take better care of your lady 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

🙂👍
you have a nice name
5:23 Never EVER leave or abandon that fight. For fighting with it, you have my deepest respect!!
Oh thank you!!! Honestly, it is my reason to wake up in the morning! …. Oh and my husband. I guess I love him too 😜
Oris is awesome. I own a diver 65, I bought my son an Aquis GMT, and we bought a family member in Korea the Aquis LE supporting Han River cleanup. He was genuinely moved that a Swiss watchmaker even knows the Han River exists. You are crushing it, congratulations. And we wear vests all the time to stay warm - own it and ignore the naysayers!
In a world of toxicity and negativity your bubbly sunny disposition brings a smile to my face, love this style of review and thats a beauty of a watch.
Don't clam up over the integrated bracelet, the bracelet is so good you sea, you won't even mind them making it harbor to find straps that fit.
Boom 💥 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
BAHAHAH! so good to see someone shellabrate the art of puns!
I think we need more of these semi sponsored watch reviews. They’re fun light hearted and honest.
Oh thank you!! I’m so so glad it read that way as well! I just wanted this to be light hearted, honest and always…. FUN! 💕 You rock DHJ!
@@justmeeagainn I really don’t think that’s what’s happening but you’re entitled to your opinion
@@JW_Haze he’s just constantly, overly negative, some people are just like that, I’ve already told him we got no money or watches for any of this but he wants to live in his own bitter little world. 🤷🏻
@@justmeeagainn oh I wish I was getting free stuff! 😂 it’s a good deal tho! They obviously want more exposure for cheap… well free really! 😜 and I always need more watches for content but can remain objective because… well… it’s free!
@@watchpapi gotcha
Everyone loves to have a sick day off. Go Britt! Thanks for introducing watches to the faraway lands of New Zealand.
Just bought one of these for my father as an anniversary gift. He's from New York and met my mother while he was a diving instructor so I thought it was fitting. If anyone is interested in this watch in the slightest I'd encourage you to try to see one in person. No picture, video, or social media post does that dial justice even in the slightest.
Great video as always!
So glad I came across your page. You make the watch CZcams world fun and that’s a great thing.
Whaaaat! This has genuinely made my day! 😭💕✨
I like the fact that they’ve released smaller versions with this mother of pearl dial.
“I don’t give a shit about oysters!” I love your honesty LOL
LOL! I wish I did! But I had literally never thought about oyster populations until reading this promo hahaha
@@BrittPearceWatches Makes two of us. At least we can thank Oris for educating us hahaha.
I just subscribed this week because Britt's outgoing, funny and "you don't know what she's going to say next" delivery is hilarious. So refreshing to see that you don't need a 3-piece suit presentation to love and appreciate watches. Plus, the commentary asides like "I don't give a shit about oysters" really brighten my day. I'll clam up now...
My first watch into luxury watches was a green oris aquis, which I happen to be wearing today. Its one of my favourite brands.
Love the work, best of luck on your channel and your passion!
Great video! This watch is a stunner and it's for a great cause. I love this brand i have the green aquis calibre 400 and the big crown pointer date green dial. Congrats on having watch brands reach out to you but PLEASE PLEASE give your honest opinions on them and don't let the watch brands alter your opinions. Thanks! 🍻
Look out Britt making big money moves so happy for you gringa that oris reached out to you to lend you this watch great review love the over all look of this watch
Gringa!!!! 35K SUBS!!!!!! 1K up in a week! Congratulations Britt, You earned it and I cannot wait to see where the Cult goes from here. Well you "Pearce'd" the opening pun through the heart. Better luck next time. HA. I do love the Aquis, except for the non standard strap/bracelets. I applaud Oris and their actions to raise money or awareness to good causes. I love the Wings of Hope connection. I am currently stuck between an Oris or a Nomos as my next addition, but Oris does have a slight lead in my head. If I can find the new Big Crown with the "Caliber 403" at my AD it will be mine.
CAN YOU BEEEELIEVE?!?! 35K?!?! 😱😱😱 absolutely out of this world! I never thought this weird little channel would grow this much! 😱✨ and I think we have the exact same opinion of Oris! I love the watches, I respect them so much for the awareness they bring! And I have very few complaints! 💕 just great watches!
I have an Oris on my wishlist. The Aquis is my favorite. I like the smaller multi-color dial version and think it would be the perfect summer watch on a white rubber strap.
Britt, I love your reviews! This watch looks amazing on you.
I got my Aquis NY Harbour LE just a few days ago on 21st Sep. Just looking at the piece online made me enquire about it and see if it's available. I had enquired about the watch on a Monday and by Wednesday all the pieces across India had been sold (there were 2 pieces available but they had advance payments against them). The dealer tried contacting Oris to see if one can be sourced from the factory, but he was told that Oris had sold all pieces worldwide so no more could be made.
I had given up and thought no way I'm getting this and started looking at other brands. Then I get a call on Sunday from the AD that one of the pieces that had an advanced payment on it is available because the customer went for the Carl Brashear LE instead. I immediately paid for it then without ever seeing the watch. Such a relief when it arrived and I tried it on to see that it was a piece of beauty that fits perfectly on my wrist.
I only wished they went for a movement with a longer power reserve like the 798 or the 400. That’s the only thing I find lacking in the watch.
I was doing the washing up in the kitchen when the patreon song came on..just when I was losing faith, it gave me the inspiration to carry on!.lol..dial looks crisp
LOL! This isn’t a watch page. This is a music page, trying to get discovered! 😜😂✨
I watched so many Oris videos. Never got attracted to it….. you release a video about Oris and suddenly find myself on their website
Whaaat! This is extremely high praise! 😱✨
@@BrittPearceWatches I Love your channel! I am always excited when you upload a new video:)
Greetings from a german watch collecter:)
That dial is beautiful. From a distance it is a light moss that has a creamy luminescence afforded by the shimmer of the shell. Up close, the dial is a mix of green tones, and non-uniform strokes and smudges that provide texture and depth. Marvellous.
Oris was my first Lux watch after a Rolex AD told me, "You don't want a Rolex Sub" when I asked to see one, leaving me at the counter he just walked away. After waiting awhile to see where he went, I left. 🤔 Still have the Oris, still works but hasn't been my best watch. The movement had an issue and after sending it back to Oris under warranty it was returned with the same problem. 😕 Finally took it to the local watchmaker a short bike ride from my house. He looked at it, took it all apart, called me and said he could order the part from ETA and have it fixed in 6 weeks for $xxx. He returned the watch and it's worked perfect ever since. 🤣Then I went off to Tudor land 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious! 🤣🤣
I actually thought at first this was recycled, too. With plastic specifically from NY harbour. -The green is very nice indeed
This is a great call out to Oris Rising. They seem to try harder in an honest way without taking themselves too seriously. And yet, this thing about oysters does make you think.
That dial is incredible. Great review!
I should send you my Oris Aquis with the Tungsten bezel and leather strap for a review! It’s pretty rare 😊
Excellent video Britt 🎉 obviously still watching 😅
😱😱 that sounds soooo cool!!! I’d never say no to having such a cool watch in!
Thank you so so much for this comment tho! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the vid! 💕
@@BrittPearceWatches have a look at my recent instagram post and let me know if you like it and I can send it over!
Initially I loved the look of the Aquis model range but like you disliked the ability to just swap out the bracelet for a different band and then ...... I tried one on the wrist... The Aquis cal 400 for some odd and crazy reason ended up on my wrist at the AD just to look at you understand and it was so comfortable and the dial was brilliant and I left the AD wearing it on my wrist... after paying for it of course. The upcycle was a very brave move and to a lesser extent was the Dat Watt but they made these watches both of which they should be commended. The Oyster Bay is another example of Oris putting its money where its mouth is, quite tempting.
Congratulations on your new level of a watch reaction channel ❤🎊
Edit: That watch looks awesome 😎
I'd also like to say your outro music is phenomenal!!!
Great video, Brittany, thank you. I watched it on TV instead of phone to get a look at that gorgeous dial. Beautiful.❤. Unfortunately, I just can't get on board with the design. It's the lugs or something. That's a good thing, though. I don't need to be crushing on ANOTHER watch🤪
You know, the lugs throw me off too! But sweet Jesus is protecting you! 😂😜😜
Well done Britt, nice review. This one was quite humorous.
Oh thank you so much! 💕✨
I have one. Love it. Thx for the vid!
I wish it was smaller. I got my wife a 37mm White RADO Captain Cook she loves but its prob her limit in size.... Great video and a beautiful Oris
I have to say its a stunner..that dial is fabulous! all round a great piece
Rifht?! Love this watch!
I'm in love. Sorry gorgeous, but I ment the watch. 😜 What a true work of art it is! Thanks for this review, it made me decide to get my second Oris Aquis Date Relief (already own the grey dial with red strap version).
Britt: your Rubber comment was so spontaneous...very you 😅... I share the same spontaneously situations with my wife so often 😂im used to them...
Great presentation Oris should have let you use the complete set bracelet and strap tool. The watch should have the 400 movement. Longer power reserve and 10 year warranty.
The straps are usually inverted when you have a buckle clasp instead of a pin buckle because the clasp forms better to your wrist this way when closed
This one folds away, opposite of all the other deployants we have which fold towards us… it’s less comfy.
I feel like some people give Oris a lot of eye rolls around their social and environmental initiatives but I don't get it. Why can't a company do positive things and make a lot of money? Big Oris fan.
Agreed! People are just so cynical these days!
Oris is the most exciting brand in watches right now.
I got one. Love it. Big fan of Oris.
Dear Britt, thank you for showing us a video of Oris . I hope you make a review of the Oris big crown pro pilot date . And day date . Because I’m thinking of buying it . But I need your opinion . Thx
I love that watch but I would buy it and it would just sit in my watch winder as I’m struggling to find time for any of my other watches other than my Omegas or Rolex, and the only oyster I care about is the Perpetual types lol 😂
35k is amazing. Kind of want the cult of Gringa to stay small but if you can do this full time I’m here for it.
Right?!?! The cult is getting too big! I never saw it growing this much! 😱 but I am very close to being able to make this full time! Maybe after Christmas!
@@BrittPearceWatches congratulations on the recognition that you deserve. That would be awesome. Plus the brands are coming. Yes
Awesome video as always keep up the good work Britney 👏
Oh thank you so so much! 💕
Hi Britt i got mine yesterday its wonderful
The New York Harbour looks fantastic on you. Oris has become one of my favourite brands! Just picked up the Oris 1917 , would love to see you do a review on it. Hahahahaha love the end part lol where you ramble on about sick days etc…
Man! I was surprised by just how much I loved this! WHAT A WATCH! I love it! And I will reach out to Oris RE: 1917😱 maybe I can get my hands on one!
Loving the dad fit xD. But on a more serious note, great video Gringa!
I like your singing at the end of the video. Oh yes the watch is great also. Cheers!
To be clear, this is a singing channel with a side of watches and NOT a watch channel with a side of singing 😜😂
love the colour, love the dial love Oris
I normally dislike watches with proprietary lug designs but I really like this! Why does it have to be limited edition idk if I’ll be able to get one
Came here for the dope watch content...now i come here for the dope watch content, and Gringa's singing.
amazing watch, beautiful dial, cool movement
Right?! What more could you ask for!
Great watch! My only comment is that the 38 hour power reserve could be a lot longer.
I'd love to see something about Oris Full Steel, there is hardly anything on the internet featuring it.
That dial looks real nice, Britt. I’d like to own an Oris but they have too many cool watches for me to pick just one LOL.
Ouuu time to get a BUNCH OF ORIS’ 😜✨
Great video and quality editing.
Love this Oris, it’s my favourite of theirs - amazing MoP dial. Wish there were more dive watches with natural/stone dials.
My only concern, whilst I love the rubber strap on a dive watch, is I wish the brand wasn’t emblazoned all over it - this feels unnecessary and cheapens it for me. I feel it would’ve been better with a subtle texture on the rubber instead. (bit like an Aquanaut). Then I’d buy one in a heartbeat. But kudos to Oris. Great brand.
As to oysters, I’m a big fan. After your disappointing (but honest!) admission, next video - expect to see you in a “Oysters Matter” top!
Ugh. Oysters aren’t the only ones that matter. ALLLLL SEA LIFE MATTERS. 🙄😜😂💕💕💕 joking aside! I know what you mean about the strap! The heavy branding doesn’t bother me! But I definitely think it is divisive!
Beautiful watch! And great review as always👌
Ahhh thank you so much! The Aquis did all the heavy lifting here 😍
Sweet and sassy. Love this channel
Hahaha the Patron song 😂
It’s a BOP!
@@BrittPearceWatches can your merch come out already? Need a new mug. Or a shirt/ pullover/ cap.
Whoa that's a drop dead gorgeous Oris! At 41mm, it's just the perfect size for boysters shellfies for instagram!
Isn’t it just!! 😍😍
The dial was nice.
Love the shellfish attitude 👌
Love their Carl Brashier
Would have gotten it with a 43,5 mm. Lovely watch. Beautiful dial.
TEAM GRINGA 4 LIFEEE!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
YASSSS!! ✨✨ I’m team High Tower for life! 😜💕✨
Looks awesome. I want the rubber strap for my cherry dial but I can't pay £200+ for some rubber I'm just going to basically cut in half. 🤣
My local Goldsmiths say Oris is good for the youngsters getting into watches.
Me personally, rather a Hamilton in that price range
I live in New York and there were 9 Humpbacked whales spotted in the Hudson. I remember the Hudson as being a sewer. Far too dirty for whales. Oysters clean the water. I am not a fan of the watch, but I am interested in the 5 day power reserve movements of Oris.
“It made even my cold oyster apathetic heart, my shellfish attitude…” 😂😂😂
LOL! I was trying sooo hard to work “shellfish” into this hahaha
Love your videos...love Oris more and more...but the strap limitation is still a bummer for me :( i love NATO straps from time to time, love rubber bands from time to time and love some steel bracelets...i switch the straps on my Longines Hydroconquest and my Tudor BB all the time. Keep on the great word with the videos and greetings from Slovenia
Your puns were too funy hahahaha
hi GC, rolex, cartier, panerai due,oris, omega, and tudor are the only watches any one will ever need!!!!!!!!!! love kevin from n.y.
Well done 🎉
Great review Britt ! The world is your oyster once could say... Maybe oxblood pointer date next time or full bronze Oris (or both?). Check out Fortis - quite a piece of actual space history there with no hype what soever - might be an interesting episode
Ouuu I love a fortis! But I’ve bot been on their website in some time! 🤔 better go have a bimble!
@@BrittPearceWatches their new space-tested chronographs are soooo slick
Top notch, entertaining content as usual by my feel good CZcams watch content creator. My next watch is going to be an Omega Orbis - look up that work that Omega is doing with Orbis - definitely making our world a better place - would love for you to do a show on that
Maaan! I nearly bought the Speedmaster 38 Orbis. Amazing reason to buy a watch! And the bear is adorable! 😜
@@BrittPearceWatches I lost my son 17 years ago at the age of 13 months as he was born with significant birth defects. I have been saving up for the Orbis and should be able to get it in the next 6 months - I have the Speedy and the Seamaster but the Orbis will be my most meaningful watch and I am glad that Omega does through their partnership with Orbis, amazing and impactful work for underprivileged children in some of the poorest parts of the globe….
It’s a good thing I actually like oysters Britt! Natural or Kilpatrick!🤤🤭 Oris needs to do a similar collaboration with our Aussie oysters from South Australia! Although a Oris “Coffin Bay” aquis doesn’t exactly inspire conservation!🤪 P.s. Probably the best oysters in Oz!👍🏼
Love the dial. in 40mm and 12mm thickness, i would really think about getting one. Funny vid, as always, keep it up :) you should sing more :D
Oh thank you so much!! Plus. I think we all know this reeeeaallllly is a singing channel with a side of watches. 😜
Can't wait to have some Oysters Rockefeller when I return to NYC!
Just curious, is the MOP the same used in bigger brands like ALS? For the same price, I would go for the Longines 190th anniversary though!
That’s a great looking watch! Those engraved numbers 🤤
@@watchpapi Indeed, James. I was eyeing the IWC time only Portugueiser previously but now I think the Longines is more value for money. :)
@@royleow totally! I’ve yet to see one in person but going by the pictures, they look fantastic, they’re a lot like a Naoya Hida I’ve had my eye on for a while now.
Love the Aquis.......although not so sure about the green one, not my favourite colour.
Hola Britt! :) Oris is amazing, I own a Chronoris Movember and I absolutely love it!.
I definitely would buy this Aquis but its not pearl-fect for my wrist :( Maybe I should hit the gym more often, or maybe I should eat oysters more often (Sorry Oris and sorry NY Oysters).
As always, love your content! Adios!
Hahaha ooooh noooo! I’m so sorry it’s not quite Pearl-fect! 😜💕✨✨✨ Oris is amazing Arent they?! I love their watches!
i almost wanted to get this watch last week…………but im still holding back…till this video…
Looks good in person - I saw it on a trip in Cali this week and pointed it out as a cool watch to my wife 😁 (Eduardo in Hyde Park Jewelers @ Fashion Island if someone is looking for it)
So Oris is trying to make oysters perpetual in NYC? 😝
PS love you Jermaine Clement esque ode to Patreons at the end 😂🙌
Very nice! But mostly I'm happy to hear they're releasing these coloured MOP ones in the smaller 36.5mm Aquis. Are you planning to review those?
If they’ll lend it to me, I will take it! 😜✨
@@BrittPearceWatches Can't imagine why they wouldn't after the great video you've made for this watch!
Stunning Watch, ok as for the Singing, ,Ah now GOD Bless.! 😎🙏🙏🙏
BAHAHA! This channel is REALLY about trying to progress my singing career 😜
@@BrittPearceWatches Oh That's OK Then..!
None of your subscribers are surprised you have got to the point where brands are offering you watches to review! Nice job too with a properly gorgeous piece. You must be getting close now to where your subscriber numbers are approaching the population of your home town. Start planning the video that marks that :)
We need to get an accurate up to date population number! Hopefully it’s not grown too much since 2016 (the number Britt keeps quoting 😅)
I've never given Oris that much thought mainly because the Aquis exists in a world where I can save up a little bit more and get a used Omega Seamaster 300 or if I am patient enough a Tudor Black Bay 58. I've seen black bays at 2500 from time to time and I have seen Seamasters anywhere between $2000 and $3500. I will admit however that I've not checked the used prices on Oris.
OUU! This is making me want to look at some used Oris prices! 😱
@@BrittPearceWatches Make another video if you end up finding something that strikes your fancy.
I’m an incorrigible snob however I would certainly stop by the window and have a look at that green one
Great video 😊

U should try diver65 glow..its soo tiffany..i think u ll love it.
I am proud ! You rock like a boss 😘

Gringa Friday 🙌🏻
It’s that magical day!! It was meant to come out on Wednesday! 😂🤦🏻♀️ but it’s been such a busy week at my real job! It’s so hard keeping up with my upload schedule!
Damn Britt! My next acquisition was going to be the Oris Aquis cherry red dial. I was so enamored with that dial, and then you introduce me to this stunning green limited edition, and now I am in a quandry: Do I choose the cherry red dial or the Harbour, or do I just break the bank and buy both!
Green Oyster will always be more special. The red one doesn’t do it for me, and I’ve really tried bonding with it.
This dial is really beautiful. Hard to capture on film.
I went to get a cherry and was legitimately disappointed. Think burgundy it really is that dark and from a distance it looks black.
Go with the green.
@@Geordie6740 Thanks for the advice
I hope Laco and Stowa contact you too.I love their pilot watches.
Ouuu I’d love that!
As much as I try to like the Aquis I just don't like how it looks on my wrist. It's not the size, but it just looks like all dial even with that bezel. I'm not sure why but it's just odd to my eye.
Great content, fantastic hair.
Oh why thank you! ✨
Been enjoying the hell out of my Rolex datejust Wimbledon. What are your thoughts on it?
OH YESSS!!! I bloody love the Wimbledon! I’d love to add one to my collection!

LOLLL IT HAD TO BE SAID! Aint none of us woke up this morning caring about oysters.
