Oris joins the bi-color watch trend, which had its heyday back in the 80s, with two new models.
The bi-color watch models that were quite popular in the 80s, which include components made of two different materials, one of which is (usually) gold, have been on the agenda of the watch world for the last few years. Many brands that continue their activities in different segments now include bi-color models in their catalogs.
Another name that has recently joined this trend is Oris. The well-established brand, which has won the hearts of watch lovers, especially with its models with a high price/performance ratio, is adding two new versions to its successful model family in the diver's watch segment, Aquis. Standing out with their bi-color components, the models are home to very stylish gradient dials, one designed in blue and the other in green.
The new models are in the 41.5mm subgroup of the Aquis collection. The models, which are acclaimed for their sporty and luxurious looks, come with a stainless steel case. Successfully reflecting the brand's modern design language with its strong lines, the front of the case features a diving bezel made of 18K gold on the edges. The case, which offers a water resistance value of 300 meters with the help of the screw-down crown, has a sapphire crystal on the front and a mineral crystal partitioned cover on the back.
The stylish collection is offered with two dial alternatives, blue and green. There is a date window at 6 o'clock on the gradient dials accompanied by gold-toned components, which house a black-background disc.
Both models are powered by the Caliber 400 movement, designed and produced entirely within the brand. Working at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph), the automatic movement offers an impressive power reserve time of 120 hours (5 days) thanks to its double barrel winding system. The movement, whose daily accuracy is -3/+5 seconds, is equipped with a non-magnetic silicon escapement.
In addition to the three-piece steel bracelet, the new models come with the addition of a rubber strap matching the dial color. The references and list prices of the models are as follows:
