My very first watch given as a birthday gift from my parents when I turned 10 was an Oris, a complete surprise which I clearly remember thinking was a new harmonica as I unwrapped the blue slender cardboard box to be greeted by a shiny new Oris watch. It was totally unexpected as my Dad was a postman at which time wasn't a highly paid job, this is why any special purchase from "Doves Jewellers" in St Mary's and had to be of high practical value. I remember that watch and the one which Dad also had. I've just turned 70, Mum and Dad left this life too early, I still think of them often and how much they loved us kids and always showed it in special ways. I occasionally visit this site and couldn't leave without remembering them and that special Oris watch.
That’s so great you shared this moment with us sir ! I’m 18 and a watch collector!
Thank you for sharing that wonderful story. Watches are far more than just tools to tell time.
God bless you Robert.
Well done to Oris for offering essentially the same watch in different sizes. It's a mystery to me why more manufacturers don't do this. I'd go for the smaller one.
I was totally sure that I was going to buy the 39.5mm (matte black dial) for my 6.5 inch wrist. However, when I visited my local Oris dealer I realized the 39.5mm was a little too small. After trying it on I was surprised at how much smaller it was in real life. It looked like a ladies watch to me. I decided to order the 43.mm instead. As it turned out, I am very pleased with 43.5mm and am sure that I would have regretted going with the 39.5mm, even though it might have fit better in my wrist. The dial/crown is so beautiful and in my opinion--in this case--bigger is better. It's completely subjective, I know, but I love the 43.mm.
I have the 39.5 mm, actually wearing today for Easter! Love the watch and it fits beautifully on my 7 1/4” wrist.
Seeing no ads makes me think CZcams's algorithms are working fine.
This is seriously in the running for being my first grail watch when I graduate from university in a couple years. Really appreciate the video Jodi!
I too have a 7 in wrist and own the magnificent blue Aquis in 43.5. Post pandemic I’ll get the equally gorgeous green Aquis in 43.5. The green dial on 43.5 is magical. I don’t want it’s size minimized. Nice review with great camera work as always.
I like them both, leaning more to 43.5mm one. But more importantly, what will be the name for the green 41.5mm be.... Yoshi? :)
My heart says Oris, my wallet says Loreo...
lmao same
Same, also but my heart says Christopher Ward.
Truthfully these Oris' are too dark green for me.
Name Nachname estou na mesma situação 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@GS-vb3zn CW name written on the dial is the reason i will not buy one. awful
Excellent review Jody. I just bought (but haven’t received) the 43.5mm Lake Baikal and was a bit concerned about the size but you gave me comfort about it’s wearability
I bought a used old version for £700; 43mm blue with black bezel. Love it. Then I bought the original rubber strap for it. The strap transforms the look and feel of the watch. I felt it was too chunky to wear with my suit for work. Probably because of the polished 24mm bracelet. The rubber strap I feel turns it into a casual diver, such a comfortable rubber strap. Great with smart casual and also wearing for light sport. Has a glide lock style clasp. Also enthused with vanilla so still smells nice 3 years later.
Lovely review, Jodie! I am very tempted by this watch. I tried the 43.5 and it does wear smaller than it sounds, more like a 42.The colour was stunning. I think I’ll wait for the 41.5 which would fit me even better I think😃😃 Cheers!
long time fan and subscriber, I found this one so helpful!!
this green aquis is eying me even if I don't like the handset too much.
the bracelet sizes differences was exactly what I wanted to know.
looking for a hulk colored dial watch I did not find my trail yet.
thank you for the vid !!
exactly what
I have two 43.5mm Aquis models, the blue and matte black, both of which I played the patient game and got them for well under retail at the AD (the matte i got for $900). They're my favorite watches in my collection and they feel so comfortable on wrist. Im excited to see the new 41.5 variants. Great video again good Sir.
i'd never liked the looks of this watch until i saw it on your wrist. what a beautiful case
Definitely the smaller one for me. I can wear a bigger watch, but the shorter lug to lug would probably work better for me on this model.
Another great review!
I could honestly go for either or. They both look good and I think they would both fit my wrist. If I had to pick I might choose the larger one. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 39, Id wear it all day long in a heart beat.
Soo nice to learn that a reliable 4hz movement that's swiss to boot can be found in plenty of pieces below $500. Good on ya Jody goodsir
Hey J, Great review and you may have just saved the best part of £2k. I bought a green Aquis 39.5 last year. Unfortunately I thought it was a bit small for my 7" wrist so, I flipped it shortly afterwards. I was about to buy a 43.5 in blue this week but, in your video you mentioned a 41.5 which I didn't know they were listing. I think 41.5 would be perfect so, have placed an order. Many thanks for this timely review.👍
Hey Jody thanks for these videos help to keep me sane while in quarantine here in America
I love that 39, but I think the 41 will be even nicer. I can't wait to see your take on it when the opportunity arises.
I just got the black 39.5 on a rubber strap two days ago. I'm really impressed with the finish and quality of this diver. This Aquis just exudes quality. I've been wearing a brand new Sinn 104 before I got the Oris and they are my two favorite watches for sure. The two of them make the other watches in my collection seem a little dowdy in comparison.
Love this Yoda❤️
I have the Clean Ocean 39mm and it Is perfect for me and I highly recommend a 39mm Aquis👌
Though.... be aware the lugs limit strap selection and the tool needed is a pain in the arse to get hold of however the rubber strap looks outstanding!!!!
I went to my AD in Melbourne and tried on all 3 sizes in the blue burst. The 43 sits very nicely on the wrist, whereas the 39 looks too small because of the bezel taking up space. Thanks for the video.
Great video Jody, the 41 will be the winner for sure, I would love to see reviews on the Mido Ocean Star and a Rado Captain Cook, Happy isolating
Thanks Jodi, there is another watch that I will probably end up lusting over and owning......pretty much the same thing that happened when you put out the Oris BC Pointer Date anniversary. So worth it!
Just added an Aquis to my collection and really enjoy it. My first Oris.
How is it what size and dial colour did ya get.
Thank you for making this lovely video Sir. I personally own both of them and I LOVE THEM BOTH TO DEATH!
Always been a fan of Oris, particularly value for money. Just caught your interview on Scottish Watches. More power to your elbow (or wrist)
Great review, I’ve been looking at their new Baikal version, having tried on the clean ocean one and found that a bit small. Enjoying your channel here in the U.K.
That's my grail watch. I've been waiting for this. That deep emerald green...
The new 41.5mm should be just about perfect. I love the the brand, especially it’s independence! Watch looks great and the construction is awesome. I’d prefer an all brushed bracelet but their rubber straps look great as well. I just cannot get past a Selita 200 at this price range. The movement matters and this has now become a movement I pick up in £400 pound watches. Yes it’s reliable and a very good movement but this watch deserves something better and the price does too. This watch channel remains the best in the business. My fav reviewer by far. My only issue is not enough of the watches I like get reviewed by my fav reviewer. We need you full time on this Jody - it’s your duty 😇
Thanks Simon! I think 3 videos per week is my max at the moment though. More than enough JOMW for most. Cheers!
Just as I decided that the Rado Captain Cook would be my first non-Steinhart Swiss mechanical watch, Jody brings up Oris again, throwing my brain back into turmoil.
I think for me anyway, it's a wonderful long term daily. It's different enough from well "everybody's" diver and just solid. I have one of the titanium versions, deblings quickly and although much more subtle than bronze changes color and develops character over time.
Helloooo Jody and Thank you!!! Happy Easter too buddy, keep safe!!!
I have to say, the 43.5 mm wears small. It looks perfect on your wrist. The 39.5 looks small. Normally I'd go for a 39 mm watch for my 16 cm wrist, but I recently got the Aquis GMT and it looks fine on me. Larger, yes, but not overwhelming. The compactness helps, as does the darker dial and thicker bezel.
39.5mm is the perfect proportion. And that green..😍
Have to say the Yoda does it better for me, colour and size.
@Matthew Cowan how big is your wrist?
The 39 is the way to go for me. But not too keen on the color. Thanks for the video Jody!
The Aquis is easily my favorite Diver. But the model with the black dial and Matte Brushed Bezel with full brushed bracelet
Good review I have a big 8 and a quarter wrist but after your review I think I could wear the 39. You made some good points and Oris makes a great watch. I do agree that a SW200 is a bit of a stretch at 3k Aussie especially when I can find several under 1k but guess your paying for the name more than anything else. Thanks
Jody, frustrated it seems nobody knows the Aquis was just released in 41.5mm which I think will be absolutely perfect. Glad you mentioned it but too bad you couldn’t get one and i REALLY hope you’ll be able to review it.
The smaller model seems to be better for most but in the end, the 41mm would be the one. I think the integrated bracelets are for people who love the watch as is, for most of us, it would get boring after a while or you would end up using it less and less. Anyway, nice vid Jody! Stay safe!!!
Great Video Jody! I almost picked up the 'Yoda' late last year but the one that came into my AD had terrible bezel action. I then noticed that every Oris Aquis I tried had a different bezel action. Left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth really...Not sure how much, if at all, that has changed over the months.
It is an Omega quality watch if you get a piece that is just right ;)
Great review , plenty of wrist time and showing above/ below the knuckle appreciated. The one Oris I owned for about 2 days was their bigger 47mm diver, what drove me nuts was a. Didnt feel like any weight at all on the wrist and b. That dumb end link for a strap changing nutjob like myself & others. I'd say that 43.5 looked sharp and is independently good looking with no need for reference needed to the R brand. Although not in my collection or rotation I find Oris especially on the 2nd hand market is outstanding value. Enjoy your new watch whether you know it or not yet. Lol
Love the colour on the smaller 39mm but the larger 43mm looks a better size for me. However if I was to own an Oris, and it is one of my aspirational brands it would be the Big Crown ProPilot.
39.5 looks right, on your wrist! I use to own a 42mm Oris...the fit was great, but looked big on my 6.5in wrist!
I don't own that watch anymore!
Top-notch commentary but two minutes of wrist shots before a wrist-size reveal seemed like an eternity! Lol subscribed.
To be honest, I like them both Jody. If I would ever find some easy money for a luxury time piece, the special edition blue Aquis I would try to find. Nice, relaxing video, as always.
Thanks! I do know it is a lot of work to make these quality videos for us, watch enthusiasts.
I have the black aquis 39
.5mm on rubber strap with the deployment clasp, great everyday watch, lume is good.
We want Longines hydroconquest review... I like your reviews, always straight and honest. Oris Aquis day date 45.5 mm that's the beast to have as a diver watch. 💪 I give a mé to the green dial, go for the blue ones pure beauty.
Claus, I have a Longines Hydroconquest , I love mine ! its a great watch for the money and its just great watch period. Im going to be putting a review on my channel but i'm not sure when. Please feel free to subscribe if you want to check it out. Id love to have you on there, and id love to hear your opinion on the watch when the review goes up.
Just bought a Oris propilot date. 41mm. Wow. I couldn’t believe the quality when opened my box. I swear it felt as well
Built as my Tudor. For half the price. So please with my first ORIS!
Hi Mate. Any chance at the end of one of your vids could you recommend a good auto watch winder? I notice yours in the background all the time and like the look of them. Could you tell me more about them, where to get them from etc. thanks.
And here I am drooling at the as-yet-unreleased 36.5mm Aquis in all-white dial and bezel...
I have the great barrier reef 3... it is quite blingy in the sun. Quite heavy.... but looks stunning. My first step moving up in swiss luxury pieces indeed, got it last christmas. I m quite afraid to scratch it though each time i wear it
My first ever watch was an Oris, back in the 60s 😉
That green is beautiful! Considering your big experience with the brand and the Aquis model, what dial's color would you choose Jody amongst all the options available? It's very hard to choose for me, so I wonder if you have found your preferred option in the Aquis line. Thanks!
Beautiful. I'm a proud owner of a Oris Aquis Clean ocean and I love it. They really are gorgeous watches.
I have #1482 👍
Nice watch Omar, Love that model, one of if not the nicest blue dials out there.
Great video.The movement of the Oris is definitely the star here as you will be wearing a nicely made watch and when is time to service it will not cost you 1400 Dollars as for Rolex.
Definitely need to have an Oris in my collection!!! Love your videos Jody! Very enjoyable!! I’m hoping my Idiot’s guide to watches will bring on the next New watch collectors!!
How underrated Oris is. It has its unique aesthetics, and it is great. The other advantage is the fact is that they (as Omega) offer difference sizes to accommodates any kind of wrists.
This was so helpful before pulling the trigger on an Aquis
Went the 39.5 - could have gone 41.5 but still they are lovely.
Any chance you could advise me on the screwdriver required for link adjustment ❤️❤️
Keep up the amazing content
Hi Jody, Another great review I like the 39.5 watch myself. thanks for the video , keep safe .
I prefer the smaller size, but prefer the green on the larger one. Conundrum! Thanks for the comparison, Jody.
Jody we have really been swayed by the budget models that really call this Oris into question.
thanks for showing both. for that money I lean toward the battleships: Damasko, Sinn.
My current dream (but achievable) watch is the blue Oris big day date. My 8 inch wrist should be able to cope with the size and due to history of owning Seiko 5s and G-shock watches I really have the urge to stick to day date displays.
Jody, in the LUME shot, I noticed some inaccuracies in alignment at 11 and 12 o'clock... hava look... is it just camera angle? I saw it on the non lume shots as well... Great Review as always.
Sometimes I regret selling my Aquis, then I remember the faults: proprietary lugs and a polished bracelet (IMO tool watches, i.e. divers, do not age well on a polished bracelet). Still a great one to add to the collection and grey market dealers sometimes have them for just under $1000 US brand new.
Oris and Seagull haven't made a quartz watch for 30+ years. Thumbs up to both.
I own a Sea-gull Ocean Star diver and would love the big Aquis.
Brushed center links on both. Which is correct in my opinion.
No need for an ubiquitous silicone bracelet, or, God forbid a nato!
A request - could you do a side by side at various price points showing quality of brushing/ handset/ dial finish on various watches? You've mentioned this a couple of times this year, about the difference and that some micro brands hit above their weight, but it's not easy to know from different youtube reviews. Thank you.
Great review as always. It is extra special for my because this is the favourite watch in my collection, I have the 43.5mm in lovely Emerald Green. I have the opposite problem to most that my wrist is just shy of 8" and am a big ham fisted Geordie so this piece is perfect, as a matter of fact 42mm is probably the smallest I'd go. The one thing I really like about Oris is the build quality is exemplary and all Oris watches feel good in the hand when winding/setting the time. Next watch on the horizon for me. Sinn UX Hydro oil filled. Something different for the wrist.
Keep up the good work sir.
Got the Yoda about a month ago. Love it on my 7 in wrist. It was very difficult to size even when I bought new screw drivers for it. I have sized mine but not well. Once the pandemic is over I'm taking it to a local AD to get properly sized. I highly recommend this as a first luxury watch. You should also be able to find these brand new for around $1400. My next watch will have to be the Tudor BB 58 and even though my 12 slot watch box won't be completely full, I may be able to stop there. Who am I kidding? There's always just one more watch!
Have u try shrek on ur wrist? I really confuse to buy one of those. Which one is compared to submariner size?
@@muhamadluthfykusnadi8358 39.5mm would be closer to the 40mm Rolex.
What grade os Selita is it? there are various grades of the SW200 ( I prefer the normal Aquis line with the matte ceramic bezel.
I live in America, I can't sleep. My insomnia has been rewarded!
Happy Easter, and thank you, as always, for your videos!
Happy Easter from a fellow insomniac American.
Try to get some sleep so you can wake up before Easter Sunrise. Happy Easter.
Hello from good old germany :) Nice review as always. I really enjoy watching your videos.
I got a question. Have you heard of "Davosa"? If yes, what do you think of them? Well I'm looking for a diver andcan't decide between the Oris Lake Baikal and the Davosa GMT Batman. I know everything depends on ones personal opinion but I'm curious of your thougts of these two watches.
Stay safe
The excellent black-rubber strap is comfy, casual, and tones down the “bling factor” of these watches
Is it my imagination, or does the date dial positioning suggest the same size date wheel is used in both models? Nice lookers, the pair.
Can you do a comparison of the Aquis with the Rado Captain Cook 42mm please.
I'm trying to decide which of the two to buy. The downside of the Aquis is the custom lug design and inability to swap straps etc.
The Captain Cook is really nice too.
I'm torn
Hey Jody, does Oris offer an all brushed bracelet, I have seen it in the past!? Cheers happy Easter 🐣
Nice review. However I object to the term, ‘all you really need in a watch anyway’ - wouldn’t we all just be wearing the f91w lol 😆
AHAHAHhhh! F91 Black Plastic, Was the Ebay Purchase that made Me Realise My time Dude Brethren are a Pack Of Screwback Nutcases!! AHAHAHAA!!
HAHAHA. Or a Gshock. lets have a little bit of class.
Thank you very much for making this video
i own the blue sunburst 43mm aquis (v1). I got it for $1200. It is the best watch you can buy for that price but these are just too expensive now, you can save up a bit more and get a used seamaster or tudor
Jody, how do both these Oris compare quality wise with a Monta diver ? Century old brand vs modern world new comer.
Great video Jodi!!!
Oris makes a nice watch. The larger one looks much better on you. I have come close to picking up a second hand Aquis on occasion but never pulled the trigger. Been watching alot of your vids lately w the CV lockdown and quite enjoy them! (especially all Seiko /SARB comparison /alternates) Hope you can get a SZSB012 "Seiko Spirit" to review and compare. I guess its the SARB replacement.
Knowledgeability, without condescension. Always great work, Jody!
I know this is off topic, but any chance you could review some Bell & Ross and/or Alpina watches? I'm looking at a couple and could use your input
Hi Jodi. Good review, thank you. I would really like for you to say more about the bezel action.
When I tried these two. Firstly I found that there was quite a big difference between the two. But more important than that, they had horrible bezel action. . Inexcusably bad. A real deal breaker imo. Sorry to say
Hi. Which of the watches in this series do you think is better - 41.5 mm or 39.5 mm?
My wrist is just shy of 7". Which size should I get? Thank you!
Yoda for me. Love the green on this one.
Agree. I prefer the bigger size. But it's a shame the 43.5 doesn't have the Yodas more green emerald appearance.. The colour is nicer on the 39.
Excited for this video!!
Thanks for the great review Jody... you do like your green watches don’t you!?! If I didn’t know better I think you were Irish…I do hope to own one of these one day… Unfortunately it’s going to be a while...
brill watches i really like them both ... just the integrated bracelet puts me off cheers....
PLEASE HELP!
I was going to buy the 43.5mm Green Aquis, but now i see they only have the Calibre400 5 days power reserve and 10 year warrantee for the 41mm green aquis and not for the 43mm...
SHOULD I WAIT??? Will oris ever release a green aquis at 43mm with calibre400 movement?
Curious about the 41.5 - especially which colour of dial they go for, cause I'd prefer the 43 but don't like the green compared to the 39...
I love the 39.5mm , it's very fit in my hand 😄
Does it have screw down crown and screws links because i don't think the 41.5 has screw links.
Are the bezels and pips off? The 43 to the left and 39 to the right - camera angle?
I would love to own the 39 mm. It is gorgeous! I would love the 41 too!
