The new Oris Divers Date takes us back to the swinging 1960s, a time of cultural revolution, bold art, and free-spirited design. It was also when Oris released its first diver’s watch, a piece designed to combine playfulness and serious diving reliability. This new collection brings that very same spirit to life—an expression of freedom, adventure, and classic style.

The redesigned Oris Divers Date isn’t just about nostalgia; it's a true evolution. It honours the aesthetics of its predecessor while making impressive upgrades, including modern materials and enhanced performance—perfect for the adventurous spirit of today.

The Oris Divers Date has been meticulously upgraded, featuring a slightly weightier stainless steel case that gives the watch a mature and robust silhouette. The water resistance has been doubled from 100 metres to 200 metres, making it even more suited for diving enthusiasts—whether you're exploring coral reefs or just enjoying a casual swim.

One of the most exciting updates is the introduction of a uni-directional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert. This ceramic material not only adds a sleek look but also ensures resistance to scratches and fading, keeping your watch looking flawless through years of underwater adventures. The bezel's fluting has been refined, giving it enhanced grip and usability, even when wearing diving gloves.

The watch is available with a black dial, blue dial, or beige dial —inspired by an industrial palette from the 1960s. It features new bevelled hour markers, which might sound like a minor tweak, but it makes a major difference to legibility. Oris has also introduced a unique typeface exclusively developed for this collection—giving the watch a character that’s undeniably retro yet distinctively contemporary.

Oris didn’t stop with just making the Divers Date look good; they also focused on practicality. The new metal bracelet features a quick strap-change system, making it easy to swap between the stainless steel bracelet and the supplied black rubber strap depending on your mood or adventure. And for those who love a peek inside, the watch now has a transparent case back that offers a view of the upgraded Oris Calibre 733 automatic movement, which boasts a power reserve of 41 hours.

The new Divers Date is more than just a diving tool; it embodies relaxed luxury. Oris describes it as a watch that’s designed to make people smile, evoking a joyful and stylish spirit. It’s a versatile timepiece that transitions effortlessly from ocean depths to an elegant evening out, bridging functionality with timeless design. This dual-purpose charm is what makes the Divers Date stand out.

Mark your calendars, because the new Oris Divers Date collection is set to be available at Chisholm Hunter on 18th October, just in time for those considering a new watch for the festive season. It offers an excellent balance of heritage design and modern specifications for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Whether you’re drawn by the nostalgia of the 1960s, the promise of performance, or the appeal of Oris’s design philosophy, the Divers Date delivers on all fronts. It’s a watch designed for those who appreciate both history and innovation, who value style just as much as substance—a perfect reflection of Oris’s enduring commitment to watchmaking excellence.

The new Oris Divers Date is a testament to the brand's dedication to quality craftsmanship and design. By drawing inspiration from its rich history while incorporating modern innovations, Oris has created a watch that is both functional and fashionable, suitable for any occasion. This remarkable timepiece not only honours its past but also sets a standard for future generations.
