Introducing The Oris Aquis Small Second Date 45.5 In Stores Now

Recognizing the demand for diversity in watch diameters, independent brand Oris unveils the Aquis Small Second Date  watch now in a 45.5 mm size for the time-and-date version of its beloved diver’s watch. The watch is equipped with  a small seconds subsidiary dial at 9:00 and boasts  a seconds hand coated in Super-LumiNova® that indicates the watch is running, even in low light conditions —    essential in a diver’s watch. Water-resistant to 50 bar (500 meters) as opposed to  previous Aquis Date models that are water resistant to 30 bar (300 meters).

It is equipped with all of the features divers have come to expect of the Aquis Date: a screw-down crown with protection, a uni-directional rotating bezel with a ceramic insert, and either a metal bracelet or rubber strap with the Oris-patented extendable security folding clasp. The watch’s dial, bezel insert and rubber strap option are all a deep blue, inspired– naturally — by the ocean depths. Thet watch retails for $2,700 on strap and $2,900 on bracelet.
