Oris Divers Sixty-Five 60th Anniversary: a dive into history
In 1965, Oris captured the essence of time with its first diving watch, a model that combined robustness, functionality, and a unique aesthetic. This timepiece was designed for adventurers and diving professionals, reflecting the spirit of freedom and creativity of the era. Six decades later, the independent Swiss brand celebrates this icon with a special edition: the Divers Sixty-Five 60th Anniversary.
A tribute to tradition
The 2025 edition is a faithful reinterpretation of the original 1965 model, featuring vintage details and updated features. The 40mm stainless steel case maintains the original's sturdiness, while the bidirectional rotating bezel ensures practicality for diving. The Swiss Made automatic mechanical movement guarantees reliability and precision, while the stainless steel bracelet adds a touch of timeless elegance.
Vintage details and innovation
What truly sets this edition apart is its attention to detail. The black dial retains the historical elements of the first model, with shorter indices and luminescent numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12, a direct homage to the iconic 1965 design. Additionally, the retro Oris logo with the "waterproof" inscription returns for the first time in the brand's contemporary history. Completing the set, an additional leather strap and a case back with special engravings celebrating the 60th anniversary.
