76 year old, just received my first Oris Aquis black ceramic, rubber band and very cool. So happy to have such class and quality. Great reviews, thanks.
@@vinr6867 about 60% of people couldn't afford a thousand dollar emergency expense but somehow high-end watch TH-camrs are popular lol. People like to dream.
Absolutely love Oris as a brand. From a design standpoint, their watches nail it in so many different ways, and their emphasis on LEs spotlighting global NGOs makes the brand even more likeable.
My first ever watch as a 10 year old was an Oris. A birthday surprise! So now, at 64, I just bought my second Oris and in a sense I feel I’m turning back the hands of time.
Seeing Teddy speak highly about Oris on many occasions was extremely helpful for me. I just bought my very first one (the Aquis Cherry) three days ago and I can already tell that this one is here for the long-haul. And I’m lucky to have an AD fairly close by, so I was able to get that positive in-person experience that I think we sometimes overlook now with the advent of online shopping.
I bought the same one a few months ago and can’t be happier. I love how Oris plays with the red color on the dial and the quality is great. Most people i see wearing a watch wear a black, green or blue watch and i really like that the red colour is something different.
@@thatmemeguy1275 red is such a nice colour yet it's so overlooked, or like you said, people usually pick the other colours. Would definitely rock an Aquis Cherry myself. Beautiful watch.
Oris is one of those brands that has (subjectively) great looking models along all their lines and keep things fresh, their releases the past 5 years have been phenomenal and really hoping they become more mainstream. Amazing value for money especially as noted by Teddy, their attention to finishing. Big fan, great video
I don't currently own a watch with a green dial and after seeing the Okavango, wow. I wonder what that looks like in person. The color and texture look amazing. I don't buy watches specifically for a dial but, that might be close to changing my mind.
Love my oris depth chronograph. It was my first big purchase watch 5 yrs ago and still wear it every day at work on the great barrier Reef as a dive instructor . Yes that's right, a dive watch that actually gets used for what it's made for and hasn't missed a beat 👍👍
I love my pointer date! It is the old one, the new design is less apealing. Aquis seems the perfect tool watch, to wear during work outside the office. The diver 65 is an amzing retro-style.
Definitely one of my favorite watch brands! I have a 70s Oris super which my granduncle used to own until I found while clearing out my grandparent's shed. Even though it doesn't run all that reliably, I still love wearing it and it pretty much perfectly fits my small wrists. I would no doubt keep this thing running as long as I can!
Always nice to see Oris get some love. I've got a soft spot for this brand and like the look of several of their models. Their big crown's and retro dive watches are pretty much perfect but I wish they did their GMT a little bit smaller.
I just bought a divers 65 in steel/bronze with a black face and absolutely love it. I thought I was shopping for a black Bay 58 but tried the Oris on and it totally won me over. Photos absolutely do not do it justice and the bronze bezel is gorgeous.
Bravo! I own two Oris watches, including the Aquis GMT Date you show at 3:15. It’s a terrific travel watch, and my Diver 65 has the vintage look with a modern movement. I also bought the HanGang special edition for a relative in Korea and he loves it. See an Oris on someone’s wrist and you know you’re in the company of a watch enthusiast. It’s almost like a secret handshake. It’s true the Caliber 400 movement put them into Tudor and other similar brand price ranges, but none can equal the 10 year warranty Oris offers.
I've become a bit of a fan of Oris over the last year or so. As you say they are not afraid to go in it's own direction. I love the pointer date and for the cost it's great value for money. The Aquis is a unique design and is incredibly comfortable on the wrist with arguably some of the best executed dials around. The cal 400 is not cheap and is a significant premium over the 3rd part movements but it's an incredible introduction, 5 days juice from fully wound mainsprings (it has two of them) and 10 year service and warranty shows faith in the movement. Yes there are some quirks but nothing significant in my view. As for the lovely Atelier collection there is something about the Atelier Complication moon phase that just shines. The etched moon is not just a plain disc, the textured dial etc is in my humble opinion gorgeous. I also applaud Oris for supporting different organisations and clean up schemes. I really want to shake the hand of the Oris employee who suggested the Upcycle with every dial unique. I have one and every time it's in the wrist I think I can spot something new that I'd not noticed before.
Love Oris, and frequently recommend them to those new to the watch world and looking to get started. Personally own a Williams F1 Chrono and love it (it's my daily 'beater').
Terrific “deep dive” into Otis, Teddy. Your followers and I benefit by the level of professionalism you devote to such subjects. And you never just rush through a video to get more “content” pushed out. I’m saving for a Diver’s collection piece since I’ll likely never SCUBA or even snorkel while wearing such a beautiful piece. Again, my thanks. I’m leavening much thanks to you.
@@ollystone2314 I’ve owned the bronze bezel black dial version for nearly a year now. Runs consistently at 4-5 sec a day fast. Easily my favourite watch. So classy and versatile.
Having Oris TT1 Chronograph in my collection. Bit bulky for some, but never got more compliments and conversation starters than with this piece(having Omega,Tags,Ball, etc). On chase to pointer day now! Beautiful solid finishing with signature red rotor. U can't go wrong
I can’t believe there’s a Clemente inspired piece. As a kid, I was a baseball fanatic and used to read about the old time players and had a huge admiration for him. He died in a plane crash while on a humanitarian mission to aid earthquake survivors. Really appreciate Oris paying tribute to him.
Teddy is the embodiment of professionalism. Clear, relevant, factual, well-groomed, well-spoken and most importantly not preachy or driven by any agenda other than to pass on information that helps the watch buyer/collector. Even when he gives his opinion it's moderated and not delivered from a position of higher authority or entitlement. My only minor gripe is I wish he would slow his delivery just a tad... sometimes he seems like those flight attendants explaining the safety drill as the plane is taxiing. For your own health, Teddy, remember to breathe!
The Aquis 400 was my first mechanical watch. I'm loving it. Beautiful dial. The price point was a seller for me. I didn't want to start off with the cheapest mechanical I could get a hold of. I wanted to start with the really good stuff but was afraid that my new found love of watches would be a fad. I was willing to gamble 3k but not 6k. I still love it and lot at it for the dial as often as the time.
Very good choice! I believe a first price quality purchase is a good idea. I went with the Baume et Mercier Clifton Baumatic (amazing model from a brand which until not long ago had fall from grace). Love it! And it helped me 1) appreciate as a nice pie e which I complement with much cheaper watches vostok amphibia, hamilton viewmatic and 2) understanding what I value in a watch without spending (i.e. I know my next big purchase will have to be a GADA, potentially an Aquaterra, definitely with date but more robust than the dressy Clifton) it may seem contradictory but if I had spent 7k in a watch I would have likely went to zenith elite or jlc ultrathin which are super dressy. Having this already good decent watch helped me understand I need something a bit rougher, whilst appreciating it's quality
@@giusepperocchi2979 yes. It's is actually in for some warranty work now to fix the watch stopping once or twice a week. It's good to know that it's not just me that has jumping minutes. Still like the watch though.
@@giusepperocchi2979 is not a real issue, you only need to turn back the crown just a very little bit before closing it. I have it since the first day it was released and just had to learn about it. Not a real deal. in return...the watch, his accuracy, the reliability...is great
The Aquis Cal 400 and an Artelier Skeleton were my first two mechanical Swiss made watches and love them both. Even when compared to more expensive watches I've added to my collection since. The Artelier Skeleton is an unusual pick and love how its a very unique watch in my collection amidst the more "usual suspects".
I have a diver 65, and it is a much better watch that it’s specs. The thin case profile and dramatic taper makes it my most comfortable watch, and way more comfortable than any watch anywhere near its price point. The crystal has a ton of character. Definitely a watch someone should try on if they don’t understand the hype
My father’s watch was an Oris rectangular back in the 1960’s. I have it now. This watch and your passion for the brand have incline me to get a Aquis with the rubber band. Thank yoy
Just bought an 43.5mm Green Dial Aquis Divers Watch to add to my collection and I absolutely love this watch, the green dial stands out and I had many comments already of how beautiful the watch looks, for the price I paid it’s so worth it because you get so much watch for not crazy prices.
Teddy I really have appreciated your videos and lack of biases. So thorough and professional. My first and so far only Oris is the Big Crown Propilot. I’ve had it for a week now and I am really enjoying it.
Oris does deep red dials (maroons) better than just about anyone. I also appreciate that they keep their Sellita models at a respectable price point, compared to B&R, IWC, and Breitling that have off the shelf movements in the 5k range.
Wow Teddy... what crispy, clear and awesome studio setup. Love it! Chapeau! Love the background and the lighting... maybe you could show us a bit more of if. Maybe a behind the scene video... or at least a gear list. It really, really looks awesome. Keep it coming!
Thank you! We can do another behind the scenes on how we make a video in the future. I don’t think anyone knows how long it takes to get a video made haha.
you made this video at the perfect time, I'm starting to look at getting an oris mostly because they are still independent and readily available mostly.
Going into my eighth year with my black polished stainless steel Aquis and the watch looks as if it just came out of the box. Bear in mind I beat the crap out of it in eight years. Wonderful company, wonderful watches, wonderful support, and they are definitely working-man's blue collar luxury Swiss watches that are a joy to own.
My favourite brand by far. No other brand makes so many watches that I simply love the design language off. Aquis, Divers 65, Pro Pilot, Big crown, Pointer Date, artelier. And I love their boldness that comes from fierce independence and fantastic identity. Can’t say enough about Oris. Also a fan of Sinn.
I had an Oris "boy's watch" as my eighth birthday present in 1960. I own a "1917" special edition, based on a rediscovered world war one pilot watch, which I bought because several of the features were similar to my first watch. I'm very happy with it. I've been considering my next Oris for a while, but the 401s are too small for me and the Monkey King still has a Selita.
It's already been said... But I love both the Aquis diver and the Big Crown Pointer Date. I'm going through a phase where I wish there were more watches offered with no date. The dial looks so much more symmetrical and classic with no date. The exception, for me, is the Big Crown Pointer Date. Love it. Beautiful watch.
Not a single word for the calibre 110 family. I own many Oris watches but my favorite has always been my calibre 111. Great movement, very accurate (+3 to +5 s/day), magnificente power reserve and such a nice feel when winding the thing. These watches deserve more attention than wath they actually get.
@WhatsApp ❶❸❶❷❽❼❾⓿❽⓿❸ Hi, I'm not sure how to respond or use this fonctionality. I'm pretty new at this and exclusively present on TH-cam. I'm also from Quebec, Canada, and my first language is french (it must be obvious in the way I write in english). I really like your channel. It is great, objective, really well done and educational. You also cover a wide range of watches and brands. In that regard, I find it democratic and it helps getting out of this apparent snobery we sometimes feel with some ADs for exemple. We can see that you and your team put a lot of work in each video. Thanks for the good work.
I’m a Seiko/Citizen quartz guy but this kind of overview video is brilliant! Makes me appreciate different brand and models I wouldn’t normally. Gonna look and see how many other “brand overview” videos you have, but I’ll eat these up! Thank you.
I purchased the Aquis calibre 400 green dial, and get compliments on it everyday. I love everything about the watch, and wouldn’t change it even for a Hulk!
I hold a few watches all the way from Citizen Signatutre Grand Classic, Mido Ocean Star Tribute, Omega Seamaster to Rolex Submarine. I'm a watch enthusiast. I finally got Oris Aquis Blue Caliber 400, the design grew on me everyday and now rest of my watches are sitting on the side. I love Oris and put on my wristeveryday. It replaced my previous everyday favorite Seamaster. Time is very precise on in-house caliber. It catches a lot of eyes. Overall, I'm very impressed and I'd like to buy more if Oris would come with cream white dial with black/navy blue accent on 43.5 mm. Oris team thanks for such a mesmerizing time piece.
Great video Teddy. Love my Oris. Bought one in the early eighties when I first started working and now have at least another six of them. Like you said, some many different varieties to choose from and the quality is great for the price
Love Oris. My fist big watch purchase was a Pro Diver Pointer Moon. Big, bold watch. My tastes have moved to smaller tool watches, but I still love that one. My go to beach vacation watch.
Loved to see this kind of Brand deep dive video. Great work Teddy !! Keen to see more such brand deep dive videos right from brand history to the present brand position
Indeed Oris makes a statement from my point of view. I have wished this brand for such a long time and was able to have it two days ago...Oris Big Crown ProPilot in black day/date. The design of this model i bought represents my personality in a way, all the reason I had wished this design for such a long time. Thank you, Teddy for all the detailed knowledge on watches!
Super helpful, thank you! Bought my first ever affordable luxury watch over weekend (Oris) and watched this in retrospect. For newbie like me, really helpful.
This is another classic review from you Teddy, you're always spot on. I would just like to commend Oris (not that I have 1 Aquis GMT in my collection) in their being independent, that's showing to the Big Boys that they can also do things on their own, Go your own way ORIS....
Huge respect for Oris commemorating the great Roberto Clemente. Really enjoying some of these in-depth videos brands. I bought a Hamilton Khaki Automatic Field watch because of Teddy'd review. It's my first quality watch. I hope to get one or two more in the next few years. I'd love to see a review - inexpensive to expensive - on solar watches as I'm looking into one right now.
Absolutely one of my favorite watch brands! I've owned and adored my Oris TT Classic Date for years now. It also only has 50m water resistance but I don't need it to have more. I wear it to the office and other non active environments! Next up the Carl Brashear or the Okavango!
Thank you for this very nice video! I just bought the Okavango ProPilot. For two years I was looking for a good watch with a well made green dial for a reasonable price. When I saw this ProPilot model I was in love with the texture of the dial, the clean design, the very good readability and the story behind this limited edition. At first I was a little sceptical with the watchstrap, but now I don't wear another one. These ones from erikas originals are very well made and you can easily adjust it to your wrist size for prefect comfort.
My personal experience with Oris customer service is excellent. They fixed my moon complication rectangular watch for free as there were so many things wrong with it. Was I surprised! Sure, it took them 8 months, but free of charge, I do not complain.
My first Swiss was and is the 80th anniversary BCPD in bronze. You can frequently see these on the secondary market for ~$1300 and the bronze and green really look amazing together!
Picked up a deal for Oris Aquis Day/Date. Kind of a less popular Aquis model, but wears beautifully despite its large 45.5mm diameter. It's a big watch that doesn't wear big which I found fascinating and demonstrates Oris' case making skills. Despite being a rather less known model of Aquis, it still keeps its value very well.
Oris 65 Carl brashear original owner.. that watch took me on a journey of straps and technical learning. Even managed to have a conversation with the CEO
Thanks for the video!! As always, amazingly detailed and articulate in the presentation. I first became aware of Oris in the early 2000s as a friend wore one and I loved the look and certainly the smell of that vanilla strap. Since those days I wanted one and it was you video on "why to own a watch" which set my sights on getting one. My lovely wife surprised me and we bought an Aquis 39.5 from you for my 50th birthday!! Couldn't be happier and love the watch. I have such a sentimental connection to it and your team were amazing to work with. Hoping to look at a BC at some point in the future as I'd someday like to pass one on to each of my sons. I'll without a doubt be making my purchase from you! Thanks again for the great video.
Great video and content from Teddy, I am an Oris owner, big fan and advocate of the brand, I do prefer the models from the 2000s, I own the now discontinued BC3-Divers Regulator model that still goes diving and snorkeling with me. I have been searching for a few years the Chronoris anniversary, green dial and gold case with no luck…anyway, Oris is a fantastic brand
I own several Oris watches including several Williams Formula One Chronographs and Big Crown Pro Pilot Day/Dates and absolutely love them. The quality, performance and finish are fantastic at these price points. My oldest one is a 2004 Williams F1 Chrono COSC certified, in black PVD finish, carbon fiber dial and blue chrono subdials. Runs perfect, not a scratch anywhere. I am very sad about the demise of the Williams relation ship
Just love your videos, so good. Have my first Swiss watch since a wile, a Oris aquis 43,5 black polished, just love it. Looking at tudor, omega, breitling, tissot and certina but the more i learned i knew that it is the best buy for the money. Keep on the good work, and congrats too you both 👍🏻
Another Oris lover here! I currently own an Aquis and a BC3 Advanced which I find myself using more than others in my collection. Love your channel! keep up the good work
I have an Artelier Skeleton and it is unique in room of watches, but a little too formal if not wearing a suit. I also have a black on black Big Crown date. Also nice for a more casual dress. Both are nice to keep in the collection and wear on occaison.
Love Oris! I love they are independent and each piece is different and set own standards as you well point it out. I own 3 Oris, TT3 chronograph, Oris Prodiver Chronograph and latest Aqispro caliber 400
Big crown propilot (41) in pvd is my first Swiss automatic and I couldn’t be happier with it. Strap monster is an understatement, and goes with nearly any outfit. Thanks for the video teddy!
Oris seems to have some consistently attractive watch designs, at least in my opinion. Like you said they have a look all their own, they don’t try to look like a Rolex which I can really appreciate. Their designers deserve a raise.
Excellent video as always. The 65 diver is a straight homage to its 60s predecessor. Absolutely no need to overengineer this piece; just like back in the 60’s, 100m water resistance is more than enough for a dive. Having said that, professional divers will likely grab a Seiko or trust a Doxa over this or most other lux pricey brands.
Nice video on Oris, thanks. Iown two of them, an Aquis GMT and an Aquis Hangang,. The GMT is my daily wear. If they make a GMT with the caliber 400 movement I'll jump on it. One of my primary deciding factors on the Aquis is the pinned bracelet. I lost a favorite watch years ago due to a spring-bar failure and I would have lost another due to a bad spring-bar if it wasn't on a NATO strap. I also use the the bezel a lot and I appreciate the tight but smooth operation of the bezel. I have bezels that are too tight and too loose, the Aquis GMT is just right. And the lume is great, it lasts all night, it is easy to see in the wee hours of the morning in dim light.
Wish more people would talk about their pointer date models from the early 90s. So many great stylish options with interesting hands and intricate dials
Very informative video, Teddy. The Aquis calibre 400 is an exciting prospect personally, but the more classic styles are great creations. Thanks for posting, Teddy.
76 year old, just received my first Oris Aquis black ceramic, rubber band and very cool. So happy to have such class and quality. Great reviews, thanks.

Just bought an 43.5mm Green Dial Aquis Divers Watch to add to my collection and I absolutely love this watch, the green dial stands out and I had many comments already of how beautiful the watch looks, for the price I paid it’s so worth it because you get so much watch for not crazy prices.
My first ever serious watch growing up was an Oris. 👍
Will always have a place in my heart for them.
Teddy I really have appreciated your videos and lack of biases. So thorough and professional. My first and so far only Oris is the Big Crown Propilot. I’ve had it for a week now and I am really enjoying it.
I just bought Oris Propilot X Calibre 400, the one with salmon dial. Definitely worth it!
Oris does deep red dials (maroons) better than just about anyone. I also appreciate that they keep their Sellita models at a respectable price point, compared to B&R, IWC, and Breitling that have off the shelf movements in the 5k range.
Wow Teddy... what crispy, clear and awesome studio setup. Love it! Chapeau! Love the background and the lighting... maybe you could show us a bit more of if. Maybe a behind the scene video... or at least a gear list. It really, really looks awesome. Keep it coming!
Thank you! We can do another behind the scenes on how we make a video in the future. I don’t think anyone knows how long it takes to get a video made haha.
Amazing watch, I bought Aquis a month ago and I am very satisfied, accuracy of 2 seconds for 5 days
just love Oris... and I am not planning on going deeper than 50M...
Thank you for WATCHing...

Divers 65 in 36mm was my first lux(semi) piece and I. Am. In. Love. Cheers to one of the best on the web, love this channel.
you made this video at the perfect time, I'm starting to look at getting an oris mostly because they are still independent and readily available mostly.
Going into my eighth year with my black polished stainless steel Aquis and the watch looks as if it just came out of the box. Bear in mind I beat the crap out of it in eight years. Wonderful company, wonderful watches, wonderful support, and they are definitely working-man's blue collar luxury Swiss watches that are a joy to own.
Picked up my 1st Oris last week, the Whale Shark limited edition Aquis. Beautiful watch.
Very cool model! Congrats!
These videos covering brand info and not just a particular model are quite helpful.
My husband loves his propilot. It's green and the strap is good. I bought it for our anniversary. Oris is aweome
My first mechanical watch was an Aquis and every time i look on it I’m still in love with it.
My favourite brand by far. No other brand makes so many watches that I simply love the design language off. Aquis, Divers 65, Pro Pilot, Big crown, Pointer Date, artelier. And I love their boldness that comes from fierce independence and fantastic identity. Can’t say enough about Oris. Also a fan of Sinn.
I had an Oris "boy's watch" as my eighth birthday present in 1960. I own a "1917" special edition, based on a rediscovered world war one pilot watch, which I bought because several of the features were similar to my first watch. I'm very happy with it. I've been considering my next Oris for a while, but the 401s are too small for me and the Monkey King still has a Selita.
It's already been said...
But I love both the Aquis diver and the Big Crown Pointer Date.
I'm going through a phase where I wish there were more watches offered with no date. The dial looks so much more symmetrical and classic with no date. The exception, for me, is the Big Crown Pointer Date. Love it. Beautiful watch.
Not a single word for the calibre 110 family. I own many Oris watches but my favorite has always been my calibre 111. Great movement, very accurate (+3 to +5 s/day), magnificente power reserve and such a nice feel when winding the thing. These watches deserve more attention than wath they actually get.
@WhatsApp ❶❸❶❷❽❼❾⓿❽⓿❸ Hi, I'm not sure how to respond or use this fonctionality. I'm pretty new at this and exclusively present on TH-cam. I'm also from Quebec, Canada, and my first language is french (it must be obvious in the way I write in english). I really like your channel. It is great, objective, really well done and educational. You also cover a wide range of watches and brands. In that regard, I find it democratic and it helps getting out of this apparent snobery we sometimes feel with some ADs for exemple. We can see that you and your team put a lot of work in each video. Thanks for the good work.
Big crown pointer date is just a classic complication. Love it in the bronze although I get it’s an acquired taste
My only Oris is the Pointer Date. Love it!
I love the Artelier. It's the only watch of theirs that I like and truly the only "dress" watch that I actually think is worth going for.
I love my ORIS 65 Diver with the blue dial. A great vintage look. My only previously owned watch.

I’m a Seiko/Citizen quartz guy but this kind of overview video is brilliant! Makes me appreciate different brand and models I wouldn’t normally. Gonna look and see how many other “brand overview” videos you have, but I’ll eat these up! Thank you.
Propilot X 115, the only watch i ever wanted and gonna need. Go for it if you can, and are able to.
I purchased the Aquis calibre 400 green dial, and get compliments on it everyday.
I love everything about the watch, and wouldn’t change it even for a Hulk!

I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of NKUWAN . Their timepieces are of exceptional quality.
I hold a few watches all the way from Citizen Signatutre Grand Classic, Mido Ocean Star Tribute, Omega Seamaster to Rolex Submarine. I'm a watch enthusiast. I finally got Oris Aquis Blue Caliber 400, the design grew on me everyday and now rest of my watches are sitting on the side. I love Oris and put on my wristeveryday. It replaced my previous everyday favorite Seamaster.
Time is very precise on in-house caliber. It catches a lot of eyes. Overall, I'm very impressed and I'd like to buy more if Oris would come with cream white dial with black/navy blue accent on 43.5 mm.
Oris team thanks for such a mesmerizing time piece.
Great video Teddy. Love my Oris. Bought one in the early eighties when I first started working and now have at least another six of them. Like you said, some many different varieties to choose from and the quality is great for the price
Love Oris. My fist big watch purchase was a Pro Diver Pointer Moon. Big, bold watch. My tastes have moved to smaller tool watches, but I still love that one. My go to beach vacation watch.
I will be getting my first big watch in a few months. I’ll be getting a Big Crown Pointer. Love the look.
I love that Oris did a collaboration with Momotaro, one of Japan's best artisan denim brands. It keeps them on my radar for sure.
Own a 2002 TT1 Divers and a 2015 Big Crown Pro Pilot. I love both of them and they definitely look and feel more expensive than they are.
They need to market that Diver 65 bronze more. That bronze ring with the brown leather band really pops. It's a unique look and a fair price.
Loved to see this kind of Brand deep dive video.
Great work Teddy !!
Keen to see more such brand deep dive videos right from brand history to the present brand position
The Artelier is simply gorgeous, the typography really is nice and got my attention.
Indeed Oris makes a statement from my point of view. I have wished this brand for such a long time and was able to have it two days ago...Oris Big Crown ProPilot in black day/date. The design of this model i bought represents my personality in a way, all the reason I had wished this design for such a long time. Thank you, Teddy for all the detailed knowledge on watches!
Super helpful, thank you! Bought my first ever affordable luxury watch over weekend (Oris) and watched this in retrospect. For newbie like me, really helpful.
This is another classic review from you Teddy, you're always spot on. I would just like to commend Oris (not that I have 1 Aquis GMT in my collection) in their being independent, that's showing to the Big Boys that they can also do things on their own, Go your own way ORIS....

Huge respect for Oris commemorating the great Roberto Clemente. Really enjoying some of these in-depth videos brands. I bought a Hamilton Khaki Automatic Field watch because of Teddy'd review. It's my first quality watch. I hope to get one or two more in the next few years.
I'd love to see a review - inexpensive to expensive - on solar watches as I'm looking into one right now.

Absolutely one of my favorite watch brands! I've owned and adored my Oris TT Classic Date for years now. It also only has 50m water resistance but I don't need it to have more. I wear it to the office and other non active environments! Next up the Carl Brashear or the Okavango!
Just picked up the Big Crown Pointer Date Roberto Clemente Edition. Got it because of you Teddy, and I love it!
Thanks for all your great content!
Thank you for this very nice video! I just bought the Okavango ProPilot. For two years I was looking for a good watch with a well made green dial for a reasonable price.
When I saw this ProPilot model I was in love with the texture of the dial, the clean design, the very good readability and the story behind this limited edition.
At first I was a little sceptical with the watchstrap, but now I don't wear another one. These ones from erikas originals are very well made and you can easily adjust it to your wrist size for prefect comfort.

The Big Crown is one of my absolute favourites. I keep looking.
My personal experience with Oris customer service is excellent. They fixed my moon complication rectangular watch for free as there were so many things wrong with it. Was I surprised! Sure, it took them 8 months, but free of charge, I do not complain.
Wow perfect timing! I’ve been on the fence about buying a Big Crown Pointer Date from a local second hand shop, so this helps a lot!

Good review, I've been a collector since the 80's "only mechanical" stood out like a sore thumb in those days, a superb brand.
Wow! That Big Crown Pointer Date with the caliber 403 is absolutely gorgeous.
My first Swiss was and is the 80th anniversary BCPD in bronze. You can frequently see these on the secondary market for ~$1300 and the bronze and green really look amazing together!
Picked up a deal for Oris Aquis Day/Date. Kind of a less popular Aquis model, but wears beautifully despite its large 45.5mm diameter. It's a big watch that doesn't wear big which I found fascinating and demonstrates Oris' case making skills. Despite being a rather less known model of Aquis, it still keeps its value very well.
Oris 65 Carl brashear original owner.. that watch took me on a journey of straps and technical learning. Even managed to have a conversation with the CEO
Love brand overview videos like this. New to collecting- very helpful in getting a feel for the history and styles offered by a company.
Thanks for the video!! As always, amazingly detailed and articulate in the presentation. I first became aware of Oris in the early 2000s as a friend wore one and I loved the look and certainly the smell of that vanilla strap. Since those days I wanted one and it was you video on "why to own a watch" which set my sights on getting one. My lovely wife surprised me and we bought an Aquis 39.5 from you for my 50th birthday!! Couldn't be happier and love the watch. I have such a sentimental connection to it and your team were amazing to work with. Hoping to look at a BC at some point in the future as I'd someday like to pass one on to each of my sons. I'll without a doubt be making my purchase from you! Thanks again for the great video.

Don’t own an Oris but I’ve wanted one for several years now!!
Love this as a series. More brand deep dives please dude 👍
Great video and content from Teddy, I am an Oris owner, big fan and advocate of the brand, I do prefer the models from the 2000s, I own the now discontinued BC3-Divers Regulator model that still goes diving and snorkeling with me. I have been searching for a few years the Chronoris anniversary, green dial and gold case with no luck…anyway, Oris is a fantastic brand
I own several Oris watches including several Williams Formula One Chronographs and Big Crown Pro Pilot Day/Dates and absolutely love them. The quality, performance and finish are fantastic at these price points. My oldest one is a 2004 Williams F1 Chrono COSC certified, in black PVD finish, carbon fiber dial and blue chrono subdials. Runs perfect, not a scratch anywhere. I am very sad about the demise of the Williams relation ship

Just love your videos, so good. Have my first Swiss watch since a wile, a Oris aquis 43,5 black polished, just love it. Looking at tudor, omega, breitling, tissot and certina but the more i learned i knew that it is the best buy for the money. Keep on the good work, and congrats too you both 👍🏻

Another Oris lover here! I currently own an Aquis and a BC3 Advanced which I find myself using more than others in my collection. Love your channel! keep up the good work
@WhatsApp ❶❸❶❷❽❼❾⓿❽⓿❸ I don't know Rick...
I have an Artelier Skeleton and it is unique in room of watches, but a little too formal if not wearing a suit. I also have a black on black Big Crown date. Also nice for a more casual dress. Both are nice to keep in the collection and wear on occaison.
Just bought their 36mm bronze big crown pointer and love it. Enjoyed learning more about their brand here.
Love Oris! I love they are independent and each piece is different and set own standards as you well point it out. I own 3 Oris, TT3 chronograph, Oris Prodiver Chronograph and latest Aqispro caliber 400
Jesi zadovoljan?
@@mijomendes1705 jesam, izvrsni satovi za njihovu cijenu. Iako sam osobno volio velike satove, sada mi se ukus promjenio pa su mi oba divera prevelika
@@marijanlorencin8022 meni su super do 40 mm, imam 40 aniversity williams limited edition, odličan sat
Big crown propilot (41) in pvd is my first Swiss automatic and I couldn’t be happier with it. Strap monster is an understatement, and goes with nearly any outfit. Thanks for the video teddy!

Oris seems to have some consistently attractive watch designs, at least in my opinion.
Like you said they have a look all their own, they don’t try to look like a Rolex which I can really appreciate.
Their designers deserve a raise.
Excellent video as always. The 65 diver is a straight homage to its 60s predecessor. Absolutely no need to overengineer this piece; just like back in the 60’s, 100m water resistance is more than enough for a dive. Having said that, professional divers will likely grab a Seiko or trust a Doxa over this or most other lux pricey brands.
Nice video on Oris, thanks. Iown two of them, an Aquis GMT and an Aquis Hangang,. The GMT is my daily wear. If they make a GMT with the caliber 400 movement I'll jump on it. One of my primary deciding factors on the Aquis is the pinned bracelet. I lost a favorite watch years ago due to a spring-bar failure and I would have lost another due to a bad spring-bar if it wasn't on a NATO strap. I also use the the bezel a lot and I appreciate the tight but smooth operation of the bezel. I have bezels that are too tight and too loose, the Aquis GMT is just right. And the lume is great, it lasts all night, it is easy to see in the wee hours of the morning in dim light.
Wish more people would talk about their pointer date models from the early 90s. So many great stylish options with interesting hands and intricate dials

my favorite is the big crown series i just love the pointer date of it
In the Spring of last year I was obsessed by the Oris Diver65, yet as I was looking to buy one new I fell in love for a Yema Pearldiver.
Bought a Big Crown Roberto Clemente Edition last year. Just love the watch. Plus, being puertorican, it have a kind of patriotic value for me.
Currently saving for my first luxury watch, a pointer date. Can't wait!
I’ve got a upcycle aquis and I absolutely love it. Might not be the best value for the specs, but my good is it stunning in person.

Very informative video, Teddy. The Aquis calibre 400 is an exciting prospect personally, but the more classic styles are great creations.
Thanks for posting, Teddy.
