In 2015 Oris dived back into their archives and brought out a vintage-inspired dive watch, the Divers sixty-Five. Boasting retro-inspired looks, a unique dial and modest 40mm sizing it was an instant hit. Following a few years of popularity, Oris and Hodinkee, the famed watch blog, decided to collaborate and create a second limited edition Hodinkee-designed variant of the Diver’s Sixty-Five in 2021, just two years after the pair had created a manual-wind variant. Boasting a grey-green dial with faux patina on its hour markers, this variant’s display is distinctly aged-looking, feeding into its aesthetic as a watch inspired by mid-century dive watches. Powered by Oris’ automatic in-house cal. 400 ND movement, this 400-piece limited edition run swaps the solid commemorative casebacks of the previous limited edition run for an exhibition caseback that proudly shows off the movement beneath. Measuring 38mm in diameter and 12.6mm tall, this vintage-inspired dive watch is a compact and sturdy addition to anyone’s sports watch collection, with its rarity, monochromatic color-scheme and modern build quality making it a wonderful piece to enjoy for years to come.

Watch is in near-mint condition. There are light signs of use along the case. The bracelet has 10 links total, and fits a 7 1/2" wrist.

Monochromatic, clean and understated, the Oris x Hodinkee Divers Sixty-Five showcases the importance of keeping tool watch design free from unruly details and maintaining simplicity when the watch calls for it.
