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. Boasting a black bezel insert to contrast its blue dial with faux patina on its hour markers and hands, with a subtle date aperture at 6 o’clock, this variant’s display is distinctly aged-looking, feeding into its aesthetic as a watch inspired by mid-century dive watches. Powered by the automatic cal. SW200 movement, this timepiece features the traditional solid caseback and measures an impressively thin 11.8mm tall. Measuring 40mm in diameter, this vintage-inspired dive watch is a compact and sturdy addition to anyone’s sports watch collection with its stylish color-scheme and modern build quality making it a wonderful piece to enjoy for years to come.

The watch is in overall near-mint condition. The steel case shows only light signs of wear, with a few light scuffs on the case back. The bezel is near mint, with a small scratch on the insert at 50. The dial and hands are like new. The steel bracelet has some light marks on the clasp and no play between the links. The bracelet has 9 full links and 3 half links, 1 full link is removable and 2 half links are removable, with 3 additional links included, and fits an approximately 6 3/4” wrist. The watch comes with a generic box, a spare Tropic-style Oris rubber strap, and a black NATO strap.

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