Yeah, so it doesn't look new, but once you dig in to it a bit, they have made a whole bunch of small changes that add up to a more pleasant Aquis that sill looks like an Aquis. But are those small tweaks worth a 20% price hike? Cheers, Jody
Oris is the brand I chose after I got tired of Seiko Prospex and their various issues. Have not been disappointed, and my official AD gives me a great deal with Oris.
I’ve been looking at the prospex line, and am new to watches - what issues are common to them?
I have a big crown pro pilot that was $1100 USD. I am very happy for that price point. Oris doesn't have the brand power to command Tudor money.
Agreed…
How sad that you're willing to pay so much more for nothing more than a name.
I remember how inexpensive Oris was just 10 years ago. I just can’t get past that knowledge.
If you only calculate inflation 1000 in 2010 is around 1500 today...
Exactly. Gray market prices now only
“It’s not by the way just in case you were wondering…” 😆. It’s a stunner. I of course don’t know enough to know what’s different about this one, but it’s gorgeous. Thanks! Congrats on the successful Ascent Presale!
Still have my green 39.5 mm Aquis from 2020. My first luxury purchase. It's been a great long term watch that I wear in rotation with Grand Seiko and Tudor among others. I like the new refinements. I believe these have a color matched date wheel where the old ones were black. I think for that price though, I'd be looking at another Tudor.
Love Oris had a few, built like tanks, original case, good legibility and lume and you can usually get them under retail. Have the new cal 400 movement with 5 day. Power reserve. Great on the rubber strap.
Got my mint choc chip last week and it’s fantastic. Had more compliments about than any of my Tudors, Omegas etc. the NH 35 is gaining a second a day which is crazy for the money.
I don't care for the narrower hands, but the adjustments to the case fixed the issues I've always had with the Aquis.
The lume pip (in the lume shot) seem slightly to the left, just the angle or misalignment?
Greetings from St George Utah Jody I have not owned an Oris yet. This Oris looks top-notch,the green looks amazing, and I'm still debating about the movement, I like the 5 days of power reserve. I have heard good things about the 400 caliber. Thank you for reviewing this. Oris, here I come 😅.may be a could be the price.? Who knows is just me..until next time..
Nice; I will keep my CW with an adjustable clasp.
Gorgeous watch. Very tempting
movement should be sellita SW300 for that money not sw200. or LJP
for a few euro dollars more you can get their own in house calibre 400 - highly antimagnetic with a 5 day power reserve - can find them discounted if shop around.
I always feel the Aquis is up there with the Sub and Seamaster. I always wanted a Hulk but this in the green takes a lot of beating. Maybe that is now reflected in the price. I was already to buy one once then at the last minute bought a bronze 80th anniversary pointer, I often regret that. This new refined Aquis is very fine indeed.
I'll be picking up the previous version on the rubber with the ratcheting clasp.
Microphone quality is much improved J
My wife tried the 36.5. She normally likes lass than 34, but the Oris looked great.
Always see a lighthouse at that hour hand, can't get over it!
I always see something else, and I REALLY can't get over that
@@lazix😂
Saw it IRL a few weeks ago. I like its proportions
I've been thinking about getting one of these as my next watch and in this colour, I fancy a swiss diver from an independent brand and don't have the money for a Rolex or Tudor.
Hi Jody! You should make a spinoff channel and call it, "just one more T shirt". 😁
Heheheh, he does have some great tshirts.
I've always liked this watch, especially in this Green. But...
My preference is the Black Bay M79230B-0008 41mm with the white hand set, and matt blue anodised aluminium Bezel insert for a little color.
STILL has the retro signed crown with the Tudor rose, Domed sapphire crystal, and Rivet bracelet... A modern / retro look(LoL), the best of both worlds.
Yes I know it's more expensive, but I'm willing to save a little longer
At that asking price, even when adjusted with a discount, hell-to-the-nah. SW200 and a standard clasp for that? I suppose one must really love the design to justify it.
Breitling want £4200,00 for their Superocean with a ETA 2824 ( basically a Sw200 ).
It's not great but that's the way a lot of Swiss makes are going 😕
@@waynedennettYeah, but fully rebuild and regulated to create the B17. And at least for the older ones like A17360 you get 1500m WR, Helium Escape Valve and one of the thickest sapphires around...
@@drasiritzbir oris also recieve there movements in parts and build them. Breitlings new superocean is also SW200 and not ETA. So apart from the chronometre grade SW200 why a 4200 dollar price for the breitling.
@@Sonny-wk8bf I guess it is worth what you are willing to pay. But i agree, the current offering is not what the Superocean once was..
@@drasiritzbir yeah all the watch prices going up unfortunately. I still feel oris offer very good value for their price point but the breitling does seem overpriced 😁
The numbers font on the bezel look different a little from the last gen. They look bolder.
Starting my Saturday morning at work with 5c temperatures in Melbourne having coffee and watching another watch video from u 😅
You and me both 😊 bit nippy today hey?
Freezing! For Australia 😂
hello can you tell us about the brand edox independent Swiss watchmaker from 1884 which invented the double seal of the crown for waterproofing no one talks about it.
Love my Oris Aquis
I like the refinements, but the little 39.5mm was such a sweetie, feels like a brother from another mother to the SKX013. I went with said “old” version for that size alone.
I'm new to the channel and just realized why you seem so happy all the time.. You live in Australia 😂 I wish I was there the UK is grim 😕
Oris are fantastic. Very underrated and worth a look when you get bored of a Seiko or want a great alternative to other Swiss brands
I own a previous generation Aquis and had a chance to check out the new models at the AD. The refinements are very subtle, but they add up to some nice improvements. One downgrade that I saw on the green model is that the bezel color is no longer a good match for the dial color. The dial color remains an intense Kelly green, but the bezel is a more yellow green, that I did not like.
Very very nice looking watch.
You missed - the case sticks out now between the lugs. The old case was almost a perfect circle. You can see it just jutting out beetween the integrated lugs.
At their secondary pricing these are an awesome watch. At retail its not for anyone familiar with the watch world.
For the new model, not a fan of the thinner hands. Colour match date wheel is a nice to hand. Not entirely sure a out that new clasp, will need to see it in person
The transition from lug to bracelet is fantastic and they seem to have decided to taper the outer polished links to go with the integrated bracelet trend but it is too extreme for my taste.
Is it just me or does the bezel not line up at 12 o'clock? Seiko homage??
always like an Oris and love that green
Love ORIS as a brand and had a couple of pointer dates, a Propilot and three Aquis models but their prices are bizarre. Its just mean that the 'On the fly' clasp isn't on the Sellita movement version.
I do quite like the look of these how you look down and it’s a bracelet coming out of a dial, I don’t have a luxury watch but can see Oris tempting me one day! Just need a lot more money first! 😂
Don't spend your money on a so called luxury watch, buy about 50 Raccoons and start your own Racoon farm, its worth it man.
😂Yes! Do the raccoon farm instead! 👍🏼
With my large terrier, 3 year old and coming soon newborn I’d say I’ll have a farm of sorts anyway haha, but yes, “luxury” has never been a preference before for me really.
Circa £2k, no on the fly adjust?
What year is it?
Really want this watch! Loving what Oris has been doing the last few years
I have the Caliber 400 in blue but wish I'd just gone with the standard Aquis in green - such a gorgeous watch
I would get a Saint Martin 😂 same looks and quality.. fraction of the price
@@snowrabbit9558That's because they use crap movements and rip off everyone else's designs.
I love Oris but the aquis (outside if the ocean plastic one) never compelled me like the pointer date or 65. Tissot Seastar pretty much checks all the styling boxes and feel morre appropriately priced in my opinion.
The new aquis in 41,5 doesnt have the new features on the 400 modela. Not at least accorsing to their websitr. Only sellita powered "new" aquis available. And as such the new clasp is also missing on those which annoys me a great deal. The watermelon versions they released today are also bizarre, though I actually like them.
For whatever reason, I've never been able to get excited about the Oris Aquis. I loved the Lake Baikal. It's the only Oris I ever wanted. However, it had a little too much heft for me and then shot up in price. They do seem to have a good deal of brand loyalty. Just does turn my rotor, I guess.
This is probably just me, but not crazy about the two different greens. They don’t seem to work together.
My Aquis 400 is the only watch outside of Seiko Epsom! SPB, SL, GS and Oris!
Kinda like them, but always hated those hands. Thanks for the review.
Great review Jody. The devil is in the detail - I'd appreciate those refinements. I would have kept mine 43.5mm if it wasn't so chunky and heavy. The 41mm would have been a lot better on me, but got it years ago before knowing a lot about watches (funnily enough my first proper watch). What I don't like is the RRP doubling in the last 10y (only paid $1400 for mine new when RRP $1800). They get you on servicing and no supply of parts to 3rd party watch makers (plus send away to Melb 12 weeks) so I said never again. I don't think it even needed a service but it's recommended (and felt I should after 7-8 years). They only managed to get it to +10s/day, but sold that one :). Ps. Don't bother with the Calibre 400 - too new, too expensive, would have to wind it over 200 times to get said power reserve. Mine was running +17s/d so sent back to Joma. Very disappointing as it was very nice (although the rubber strap was a bit too dainty!).
I love Oris! Definitely one of the best watch brands for the price.
Remove the bit about “for the price”. Because when you do in fact factor that in, they may very well be one of the best brands.
i think also the bezel was better on the older version after i tried them both at a retailer
The old rolex trick gotta bust out the calipers and loupe to check out all the new features
U forgot they updated the case between the links and case, the extended the case there :)
What on earth is going on at ORIS ???? This brand used to pride itself on manufacturing quality mechanical watches at a reasonable price point now they manufacture quality watches at an eye wateringly high price absolutely ridiculous ….. I have 5 oris watches in my huge mechanical watch hoard …. So how much did I pay for these Oris guys well in the early 2000s everyone came in at well under 1K ….. so I ask again WHAT IS GOING DOWN AT ORIS ?????????
They are highly discounted at lots of websites from £2.2k to 1.3k, so if you do your research, you will be able the quality for the quality of a price ;)
Nice watch but what does it offer over a Christopher Ward C60 at half the price.
This is the first Oris I've actually liked, with a delicious colour. My wallet thanks you Jody😜
Does it really wear smaller? That's arguably a pity. 35mm is borderline, but that stylised bezel easily makes that the pick of the bunch in my opinion. That said, there are other Oris watches I'd pick before an Aquis and I don't see that changing soon.
It has diver extension, why do you complain about not being able to adjust on the fly
I'll stick with my Casio Duro for my diver. On the other hand my Chronoris makes me happy every day.
I have 2 of the previous Aquis 43.5. The bezel isn't very good at all. A lot of wobble. Feels like the bezel on a $250 watch.
It's a very nice watch!
it looks like my Tissot Seastar 1000... mines green... but flairs to black
Problem with Oris is their service center. In my experience, there's a 50% chance it will come back with an under performing movement and/or tons of dust under the crystal. So yeah, a 50% change you flip the watch after it's 1st service :D
I wish I could want an Oris. Cheers!
Oris really need to do more than update size and colours. The range is boring apert from some diver 65 and some pointer dates. They urgently need to revise their range and pricing to remain relevant.
On the fly adjustment should be standard at this price without exception. Add in a bog standard sw200 that can be found in watches selling at a quarter of the price. Where exactly is the money going? I point blank refuse to be milked for grotesque profit.
Bog standard! You do know that watch movements come in more than one version, right?
Bezel misaligned?
They make killer watches affordable luxury love my depth gauge.
Weren't Oris Aquis's around the 2500 mark? Unless you wanna die for an integrated diver there are far too many options you can get for that price-point... I just got myself a CW and am looking a Monta next, both are similarly specked and even better in some regards. Don't really get this pricing strategy since that lower end swiss market is really competitive.
Love Oris but never been a fan of the Aquis design. It reminds me of the Seiko "bottle cap" or tuna and I always disliked those lugless designs on watches.
Kupio sam novi Oris Aquis 2024. Kod mene je dva mijeseca i Selita SW 200-1 radi kao violina. U 24 sata radi konstatno na + 2 sekunde. Bolje nego ijedan sat sa COSC. Selita je Toppppppppp. Sve preporuke za novi Aquis proiveden 2024 godine.
I got divers 65 but feel like Oris is on its way out due to recent price increase and low level of excitement all around.
Goddd i love green bezels on green dials
I don't want to know how much they're charging for the model with their in-house caliber... that's such a wild price for an SW200.
I have been saving for one of these, but price hike, no on the fly and bezel back play mean Christopher Ward looking more like getting my money.
Go for the previous one - they were discounted after this year's release and initially priced less.
i like your t-shirt!
They need update with caliber 400, no date, and adjustable clasp
I am begging them to make the Aquis with full brushed bracelet
I’m not even a fan of green, but very nice. But still not a Tudor - they need to drop 20% and go after Longines.
Nah. The cal 400 is every bit as good imo
@@mariog7213 Except the cal 400 isn't in this watch
Very nice looking but the price 😮
It’s a little pricey for what it is. Over £2000 for an Aquis is a deal breaker for me
I bought mine for just over a grand (though that was 7 years ago)
But you'll buy a Tudor for more I bet.
Lovely design, Oris 100% right not to change it much. One of the best dressdivers out there.
ORIS❤still on the list!
Man how are dive watches at this level not offering on the fly adjustment, and especially with an integrated bracelet considering you cant swap it out at all.
My first ever video that I viewed on watches was you doing the skin diver and I loved the retro styling
Never got one 🙁
Like blooming gold dust
i actually never noticed the "PRESSURE RESISTANT" text. Now it bothers me :P
Really tried to like these and came so close to buying one a few years back. Opted for the MM300. These just look to flashy for a tool watch for me. The sunburst dial, polished pieces…doesn’t scream tool. I’d rather have the pelagos or BB58 as you pointed out.
A display case-back on a $4k watch with the movement decoration of a $700 seiko…. Why?
Nice looking watch, looks very similar to my mk3 Christopher Ward C60
Really disappointed they cut the 39. I had been excited for years for them to update the movement like in the larger sizes but instead they got rid of it entirely.
Yes
Interesting, second new watch I've seen this week with screw on crown guards, probably cheaper to make but looks crap and the customer doesn't even get the benefit of lower cost. I didn't buy one when they were cheaper, can't that changing.
Oris called for you, they want the Kermit Keyring back !
Beautiful,,,,, too bad its not a GMT for $3900 ??????? ,,Tudor I think is a better value for the dollar
Still would prefer the mido ocean star ceeamic for under 900.
Oh dear. Price. Compare the Sinn U50 with tegimented tech thinner, 500m depth and SW300 movement for about the same price.
For some reason I find it a bit “cheap” looking for a generic diver. At that price, would not give me a premium feel.
Do they do a brushed version in the Aquis ?? Polished lookes nasty 😅
The Oris Aquis is a masterpiece. I own one of the previous models, a 39.5 mm. It is the most comfortable watch in my collection and I own quite a few.
No doubt, a nice looking watch. But it's also a perfect example of the question, "what is that money buying, exactly?"
For $700 (or so), you can get a Direnzo with an SW200 too! It's good looking, (arguably more unique than the Oris), same movement, and similar quality. Though, I have honestly never handled a $1000+ watch let alone a $3900 watch, so maybe I WOULD be blown away by the look and feel, I don't know.
For now, I'll stick to sub $1000 microbrands.....because I'm cheap. 😁
I like it - but not enough to buy it.
Nice video! This color way is like having a large frog on your wrist. The price, even with a 20% discount, is "silly expensive"! I'm sorry but irrespective of it's history, this watch presents as just another Rolex lookalike.
Oh I don't think it looks like a Rolex, but I agree that the rrp is now becoming ambitious! Cheers.
nothing about this watch says Rolex. it's not exactly a bold new design in dive watches, but Oris has managed to do their own thing well enough.
