The Oris Divers Date really ought to be included in any conversation about the best Swiss dive watches. Its lineage can be traced back to 1965, and the current collection retains that coveted design language from the golden age of aquatic tool watches.
It hails from the second generation of proper divers, following directly in the wake of the Submariner and Fifty-Fathoms. And like those certified icons, Oris uses great care and restraint when selecting colors for its flagship collection.
Case in point: a new olive-drab dial expands the Divers Date collection currently offered on the Oris website to five watches. It is a perfect addition to the concise and measured lineup, both fresh and faithful.
This update is characteristically restrained. It presents a new dial color without disrupting any other detail, proving Oris is wise enough not to mess with a good thing.
The 39mm stainless-steel case introduced with the Divers Date in 2024 remains untouched. It is finished with vertical satin brushing and fitted with an unguarded crown, accented with a fluted grip and signed, polished dome.
A polished stainless steel bezel frame, equipped with a fluted grip, holds the same black ceramic dive bezel found throughout the Divers Date collection. It is marked with the customary 60-minute count-up track, featuring numerals every 10 minutes, a fully graduated 15-minute segment and a lume pip.
