Description

The new Aquis Date is an everyday toolwatch defined by the joyful, relentless pursuit of detail. Every facet has been reconsidered and upscaled to deliver a beautiful, desirable, high-performance watch that fuses numerous refinements in a perfect balance of form and function.

This begins with the case and the new Aquis Date’s visual profile and silhouette. The sculpted lugs and crown protection have been reworked, and the threelink metal bracelet has been skilfully redeveloped so that the central link is broader and the overall form more tapered.

As a result, the new Aquis Date delivers exquisitely and reassuringly balanced aesthetics and ergonomics. The watch’s uni-directional rotating bezel and hard-wearing ceramic bezel insert have also been subtly reproportioned, while the dial is decorated with new polished shield-shaped applied hour markers and bespoke, Alpha-style hands, as well as new proprietary typography that will only ever feature on Aquis models. The refinement process continues under the dial: all new-generation Aquis watches will have a date wheel with a background colour to match the dial colour and high-contrast text, creating a seamless, pleasing relationship between the two while also protecting legibility.

The flagship is the Aquis Date Calibre 400 43.50 mm, featuring our in-house fiveday, anti-magnetic automatic, the Oris patented Quick Strap Change system and the new, innovative, Oris-patented quick adjust clasp system, which simplifies this process by allowing you to make quick and easy adjustments without taking your watch off.
