Oris Aquis Watches - The Perfect Diver's Watch

Oris is one of the few Swiss watch brands that only makes mechanical watches.

For more than 100 years, Oris has made high-quality watches in Switzerland.

Although Oris' history dates back to the early 1900s, it was in the mid-1980s that the brand decided that its goal was to become a leading manufacturer of competitively priced mechanical watches.

Today, Oris is renowned for its range of high-quality Swiss-made mechanical watches at affordable prices.

From diver's watches like the Oris Aquis watch collection to pilot's watches and classic watches, Oris offers a fantastic range of models to suit a variety of tastes and budgets.

History of Oris Aquis watches

1925 was the same year that Oris began manufacturing wristwatches by fitting bracelet buckles to pocket watches.

Oscar Herzog took over the company in 1928 after his brother-in-law and founder of his, Georges Christian, passed away the previous year. Herzog remained CEO of Oris for the next 43 years.

In 1965, Oris launched its first diver's watches that would be the precursor to the Oris Aquis, specially designed with essential components for divers, such as unidirectional rotating synchronization bezels, cases water resistant to 100 meters and highly luminous dials.

In 2009, Oris launched the ProDiver saturation dive model and five years later, the ProPilot aviator collection made its debut.

In 2011 I present a new collection of diving watches that I call Oris Aquis, this collection has been a success for the brand since its inception.

Aquis watches are robust, practical dive watches with a successful contemporary design that are offered as an excellent option for all those looking for a versatile diver for every day.

In 2017, the Oris Aquis watch collection received a restyling that aesthetically updated the case and dial.

This contributed to the Aquis Date being a better proportioned, clean, legible and aesthetically pleasing watch that is today one of the company's greatest successes.

The current success of Oris Aquis can be attributed to the company's ability to reinterpret the best designs and innovations from its archives for modern watch buyers, while never abandoning its promise of affordability and quality.

In addition, through the Oris Aquis collection of diving watches, collaborations have been made with the aim of informing, educating and helping to better preserve life in the oceans.
