ORIS – Divers Sixty-Five Blue

This is undoubtedly one of 2015’s most desirable watches. And not without reason! As a modern take on Oris’ first ever diving watch from 50 years ago, the Divers Sixty-Five has all the qualities of a best-seller watch: a trendy neo-retro look dial, wide indices for easy timekeeping, a reasonably sized steel case (40mm), water-resistant to 100m, domed sapphire crystal, a self-winding movement (38-hour power reserve), a graduated rotating bezel and, the cherry on the cake, a great price. To end the year on a high, the Swiss brand has unveiled an equally attractive version. The black dial has made way for a subtle grey and blue pairing called “Deauville”, a tribute to the famous French sea resort reminiscent of the ocean’s colours. Choose from a black fabric strap with deployment clasp or a black rubber strap with a pin buckle. Price: 1,750 CHF. Dan Diaconu
