NEW Oris Aquis 41.5mm vs 43.5mm + GIVEAWAY
Jul 18, 2021
Bark and Jack
Hands-on review ORIS Aquis 41.5mm with the new Calibre 400 movement. The Aquis is the watch community's favourite affordable luxury dive watch, and Oris took it to the next level by adding their in-house developed movement, cal. 400. This new movement was launched in 2020 and is anti-magnetic, has 5-days of power reserve, a 10-year warranty and service interval. Impressive for a £2,700 watch.
The Oris cal. 400 has a quirk with the movement where the minute hand jumps when the time is set and movement is engaged. To correctly set the time, set the time, turn the crown backwards a 1/4 turn and then screw the crown in.

I like the blue or green, but all colors look nice.
The caliber400 and the price seems reasonable.
What I don't care for:
Mirror finish all over the watch.
Proprietary case and lugs and not being able to use aftermarket strap options.
AR coating on the outside and inside.
