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.

      • :hmm:
        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.

The response to the new Aquis with the in-house movement has be overwhelmingly positive and I am a bit surprised.

After all there are two ways to look at it:
1. This is a great watch with great finishing, a unique design and an advance in-house movement for roughly $4k.

or

2. This is the same watch with the same finishing, and design as the other Aquis models which are priced around $2k.

It seems like more folks are prescribing to the first way of thinking rather than the later.

Call me a negative Nelly but I'm in group 2. I'm not saying there is anything bad going on here. But the new in-house Aquis has some lovely dials and great details, they just happen to be the same details as on the Sellita sourced Aquis which can also be found with many lovely dials.

They're great watches either way and as a fan of Oris I'm glad they have been received well.

As an owner of both the original generation of Aquis and the newer generation of Aquis I will say the newer one blows the older one out of the water. It's almost crazy to think but the small changes they made to make the case and lugs sleeker and the changes to the hands and markers just take the watch to a whole new level.

The one thing the older watch does better though is the clasp on the rubber strap. Both the new and old are nicely milled and good looking. But the older strap has a really great quick adjust feature. Something you see often on bracelets but not too often on straps and frankly was ahead of its time offering this before it became super popular over the past couple years. This seems to be a trend with Oris overall as their old natos came with a milled diver's style clasp and for 2020 (or maybe 2021) were switched to typical nato hardware.

Oris are moving into stiff competition with Omega and Longines with their new Aquis divewatches with their new inhouse movement the 120 hour power reserve caliber 400.

In this video I review the brand new 41.5 mm Aquis to see if is a true luxury divewatch that can compete with the bigger luxury brands.
