Aquis Date Relief, a high-performance diver model inspired by Oris' quest to raise awareness of the importance of water, comes to conquer stormy seas.
A classic image comes to mind when we say diver watches. One-way rotatable, 60-minute bezel, high water resistance value, steel bracelet or rubber strap and a legible dial in all conditions. With the model Oris Aquis Date Relief, it not only meets all of these criteria, but it brings a new interpretation to the diver's watch theme with its unusual colors.
The model comes in a 43.5mm diameter stainless steel case with a sapphire crystal and a water resistance value of 300 meters as we expect from a proper diver’s watch. When we look at the whole of the watch, we see the absolute dominance of gray tones. This color can be a bold alternative for those who are bored with black and blue shades that dominate diving watches. The sandblasted bezel matches nicely with the rest of the watch.
Which watch would you think Ernst Bromeis, long-distance swimmer and Oris brand ambassador athlete, wear when he is crossing the Lake Baikal? Of course, Oris Aquis Date Relief. This model of Oris seems to be a very suitable option for representing the coldness of Baykal Lake, which is the deepest lake in the world, in the south of Siberia.
Oris Aquis Date Relief beats with the automatic caliber Oris 733 based on the Sellita SW200-1. The 26-jewel movement operates at 28800vph and offers a 38-hour power reserve when fully wound. The movement, which has a date feature, is known as a purposeful and reliable caliber with its solidity proven over the years.
While the Aquis Date Relief version, which is a guest in our review corner, comes with a red rubber strap, I would like to add that there are different colors of straps and stainless steel bracelet options for the same model. You can use the precise adjustment mechanism in the folding clasp to wear the watch on the diving suit or to catch a unique level of comfort on your wrist.
Oris Aquis Date Relief is a model that draws attention among its competitors with its design that can be used regardless of time and occasion. Considering the list prices ranging from $ 1800 to $ 2000 depending on the bracelet or strap options, the price/performance ratio makes it even more attractive.
