“The reason being there’s not likely a purpose,” Oris co-CEO Rolf Studer says within the press launch introducing the blacked-out Divers Sixty-5. I recognize the candor, and little question there’s some innate enchantment to an all-black watch. It is cool and covert and undercover, and on this case, it is a first for Oris. If this had been a normal manufacturing watch perhaps we might complain concerning the practicality or legibility of a watch like this. However there are solely 250, and absolutely the lovers that’ll run out to scoop these up (it is first-come, first-served!) aren’t shopping for these as a result of they’re probably the most useful divers ever made.
Whereas the Oris Divers Sixty-5 is a complete heritage play, it is enjoyable to see it rendered in a contemporary feeling, blacked-out model. It sort of jogs my memory of the Black Bay Ceramic. There’s one thing concerning the rigidity of a extra up to date materials and a vintage-inspired diver that, typically, works simply advantageous.
