A really magnificent watch, inside and out. At the end of the day it's hard to justify any watch over $1000 USD and comes down to personal preferences.
Exactly right. Once they have it for a while on the GREEN Aquis, I will go to the AD and try on both...and see...and decide which green one to get...and try them on again, and think about it, and walk out with one of them :) But that means I won't be getting the "regular" Aquis green for some time, but I have to wait to compare.
You can't win with the watch community. Inhouse movement, with 5 day power reserve and an industry leading 10 year warranty. Great job Oris!! Now about those proprietary lugs. 😂
My thoughts exactly, I have the 43.5mm cal.400 blue w/bracelet, in been looking for a rubber strap for it and I can’t find one fit under $400-500 Canadian…. $4-500 for a chunk of rubber!!??? Uhhg
@@brandonspencer309 Don't know what the pricing situation in Canada is like, but in the Netherlands I could get a rubber strap for around €250 with the clasp from an AD. Straps, like watches, sometimes also have some wiggle room in the price. Although it might not be as much, still worth trying though.
Love how they've developed such a competitive movement with an amazing spec sheet, however I don't know if i'd pay that much when it's in the ballpark of a Tudor
They might have missed a product design and marketing trick here: release a “planet ocean” style variation “Aquis Hydroscape” etc, etc, on the base Aquis (or extend the professional line) and justify the price disparity over the SW200 model with a differentiated case and 600m etc? This would also justify it bumping price wise into tool watches with IHMs like the Pelagos. Great to see the breakthrough work the engineers have done here in terms of innovation...
Also figure in years down the road, to get a Selitta repaired or serviced would be far easier and a lot cheaper. If and when Oris comes out with different styles and colors, I probably will get one. Right now, doubtful you would get any discount. That and it being a new movement, would like to wait and see if there are issues, heck Patek Rolex, Tudor, Panari and others have had problems with new movements. Wait a year, then I will look.
I bought this about a year ago right around when this video came out, I'm just going to say I really love this watch. I have zero complaints. It's been running +/- 2-3 seconds and despite near daily wear looks almost brand new still after taking quite a few hard knocks. 😅
I will wear mine for about 4 days and them take it off for about 3 days. By day 2 it's dead. I have never seen 5 days out of it. Have you had this problem? How much do you have to wind it to get 5 days or can you over wind it? Love it otherwise
@@Jaypilot100You can’t overwind this watch. If you wind it manually you will reach a point where winding further is not adding more run time to the movement, but continuing to wind beyond this point will not damage or overwind the watch. The idea of an overwound watch is a myth. A manual wind only watch will not let you wind it beyond a certain point, the crown will simply stop turning. Once fully wound, the bridle of the mainspring of an automatic watch will start slipping in the barrel in response to further winding. If you give your Oris a good winding after you take it off, it should be running when you go to put it back on 3 days later.
Great video brother. At this point I’m not sure about that high price point. However that new movement is remarkable!! Thanks for everything you do for the watch community ❤️
I think that between this and the ProPilot X, Oris is really trying to flex their horological muscles and prove that they are just as good as the other entry-level luxury brands, specially Tudor. I think the pricing is going to prove to be whatever makes or breaks them in that aspect. Most companies really do go through a hard transition in perception once they go in-house. I’ll personally be keeping my eyes on them and wish Oris the best of luck! Thanks for the awesome video, Jody!
Superb! The first time I heard about Oris, it was in an episode from The Sopranos, and since then i can't stop thinking about those watches. For me, that's a huge endorsement :)
Thanks for the great review. I fell in love with this watch and ordered one a few days ago in 43.5mm. A big deal for me as the watch I`m upgrading from is an $800 g shock mud master. This will be the second watch in my collection. I love the fact that Oris is independent. By the way, I am doing okay thank you. I hope you are also doing well.
He had a good run turning 90 before he passed, but will still be missed. An IMHO underrated and not so well known movie in which he's great is The Hill (1965 I think).
Great content as always mate. The intro video picture quality didn't seem as crisp on my TV as usual. B roll was fine. Not a criticism, just thought you might like to know.
Great video, great watch. Yes I`m an Oris fan. The Aquis is one of the few divers that has its own design language. That plus excellent workmanship and lots of color and size options = why I like them so much. Now I`m off to shake out the sofa cushions. Stay well, everyone!
I find this to be a rare watch in that it has all the right specs, an incredible warranty, an established brand, and offers the chance to feel like you're not paying a premium for the name on the dial.
3 Points 1: The movement looks incredible. 2: It's made the original Aquis a second choice watch. If I had recently bought an Aquis, with the off the shelf movement , I think I might be annoyed. 3: Why bring out a watch costing £2700 that is, to all intents and purposes, identical to a watch costing £1600 ? A "luxury" watch isn't solely defined by its mechanism. Finish, strap, clasp, polish, aesthetic all come into it. In all these respects, this is still a £1600 Aquis. Status can be a factor in watch purchases, so it might have made more sense to bring out a new model as they're now in Tudor territory. Great review by the way...
They had to jack up the price to pay for the R&D of the 400 and used an existing model to save money. I have no problem with them doing this. The 10 year warranty and service interval knocks some of that original cost down. I also believe that ORIS’ fit and finish is easily as good if not better than the Tudor and their bracelets are sold and very comfortable.
@BackdriftNightfall So you really think that everyone who buys a Rolex does so because of the watches' technical specs and build quality ? People don't buy them because they're a status symbol ? You may not like it, but you'd have to be an idiot to deny it.
@@DWilliam1 If you're right on that, Tudor has pulled off an incredible piece of marketing that has conned almost every U tube watch reviewer and millions of customers. Until recently , Tudor fitted modified ETA movements into most of their models...as do Oris (ETA clones)...and yet Tudor has routinely charged a £/$/€ 1000 premium for equivalent watches that have equivalent movements.
Got some of the best specs at the price. But they haven't updated the clasp and always thought the bezel play was a little loose. Maybe if those things have been updated I could see it being worth that level off price increase.
It's a gorgeous watch without a doubt and I really love this colourway. If I was to buy an Oris Aquis, however I would stick to the Sellita version, I'd prefer a 39 mm to be more precise.
Great review as usual, good moment for me in this semi confinement situation, as a oris fan I really like the watch though the increase price it's perhaps a bit too much, I would certainly consider it if finding it cheaper in the future. Sean Connery RIP, we'll miss actors like him, thanks for all you brought.
Sydney has been very fortunate compared to the rest of the world, so far at least, but even still, it has been a testing time. Likewise, hope you and yours are well.
Another interesting review Jody ! Nice shirt too ! Impressive movement, but the price tag really hurts for Oris’s usual range of consumers. I’d probably go Tudor.
Great video! Your channel seriously helps with staying sane in these weird times, so a massive thanks! Also really like the new lighting/ camera setup. Cheers Jody!
That is such a gorgeous blue watch! I'd love to have one, but that price hike... I dunno! 🤔 There is no doubt some value in the in-house movement, 5 Day power reserve, 10 year warranty, and 10 year service interval, but this is a tough decision.😵 Also, RIP Sean Connery.😞 But 90 is a ripe old age and the man leaves behind quite the legacy!🍸🍸🍸
That is a handsome piece. Love the color, love the sunburst dial, wish it were a little less high-polish. And that ten-year warranty is a huge selling point. A bit spendy though. If I were shopping for a diver in this price I would probably go for a Seamaster 300. (Which I am thinking of doing...) A great review Jody!
You’re not late, you’re right on time. Just heard about this watch yesterday. Very interested to see what you have to say about the (hefty) increase in price!
This makes me wonder: would it be possible for Oris to put this caliber into a Big Crown Pointer Date at some point? Swapping the torque from a date wheel to a date hand shouldn't be too hard, I reckon? That would be fantastic! Great video as always, Jody!
It would depend very much on production and price point. If they can produce 5,000 a year, what product line should they put these movements into and what markup will that yield?
Your channel definetly helps keeping my sanity during the worst year ever. Now,we lost Sir Sean Connery...RIP. Well,the show must go on...great watch,great vídeo and great hobby is this,right? Makes things a little bit easier.
Hopefully Oris have also designed a no-date version of this movement. I would love to see more clean dial no-date options from Oris... Including a no-date Aquis.
Nice review Jody!😍This is one of the first in-house movements I see an actual benefit in getting. In-house mean NOTHING to me, unless it is better than the Swiss movements available to watch manufacturers. Oris seem to have accomplishes this! It is now out of my price range, but I appreciate the leap in technology! Well done Otis!
Great review, Jody! I appreciate the new movement, but I guess I was hoping for a new Aquis case and dial design to really set the watch apart along with the calibre 4000. A thinner case would be a good start. Still a great looking piece, but I agree with some of the other comments: the price is getting very close to something like a Black Bay or Pelagos.
This looks like a great option at that price point. Modern design, quality finishing and a fantastic movement. It's time to move forward- Tudor are an over hyped homage brand for people who want a vintage look.
Super intriguing this new in-house movement deal. I’ve got the 65, Aquis, and the Big Crown pointer day (cool out of the ordinary watch) all great watches. This new caliber adds an amazing new twist. Trying to decide if i want to upgrade my Aquis for the new one.... thanks for the insight
This is a fantastic development for Oris and the new Aquis Caliber 400 will be bought by me in 2021! The price for the spec is superb! Cannot wait! Great review as always. Ps RIP Sir Sean Connery!
I have three Oris and love them. Perennial underdog of Swiss watches. That’s all I have for you. Not exactly the contents of Ottoman Sultan Selim The Grims Anatolian library in therms of enlightenment, but , that’s lockdown for you.
Sorry, not for me. For an extra £60 retail, I could get the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight on a bracelet. I see Oris have also dropped the red coloured 'Hi-Mech' rotor.
Really??? You prefer a Sub copy with aluminium bezel and caliber shared with Chanel, Fortis and Norqain?? Instead of this massive superior movement? That’s the power of marketing!
@DiscoFalcon all of us have different taste and expectations from watches: I am not impressed by Tudor Bb, my preferred one is the Pelagos that is more in line with the story of Tudor. In my humble opinion, the Bb family is a marketing proposal for Rolex Sub eagers: looking at my wrist, the Bb just remind me his famous cousin... nothing else. While Pelagos has his own presence and communicate a clear attitude. Enjoy your Bb!
I have several Aquis models and the issue here for me really is the price point. I bought them all NIB via reputable US gray market sellers for $1000-$1500. If the price is going to float into the $3000 +/- range that's going to be a make or break issue. I like my Aquis watches, but Oris is not a brand I'm ready to drop $3000+ on. The movement is an impressive flex but in my experience they need to bring up their Aquis bracelet engineering/manufacturing game (screws backing out and detaching Aquis bracelets is a common occurrence, and two of mine had this issue) and service game if they are going to be at near Omega pricing levels.
I like what Oris is doing, you got some explaining to do that's for sure 👍🏼👍🏼great movement from Oris no doubt, the price a little bit on decide, will see what happens...
"...as 2020 stakes it's claim as the worst year ever..." - Just learned 5mins before hearing this Sean Connery had past. - Yup. You bet it is! But it's still a beautiful watch!
As I saw Oris announcing new movement I immediatelly pulled the trigger on Oris big crown blue dial like new from chrono24 on bracelet and it is coming on Monday, cant wait for it. Hoping that it will skyrocket in value just like Black bay ETA, but I dont care really :)
The Selita powered 41.5 mm would be the one for me. However when I got mine that was not available, still love the 43.5 but would love to swap it for the slightly smaller one. The new movement is lovely, just not worth all that extra dosh as I wear it in rotation with others.
Hmm. Lovely, but not enough to divert me from Aquis Lake Baikal edition that I'm weighing up (read: trying to figure out how to sneak it past the missus)
A new bad boy on the block... I like it, and the quick detach bracelet is awsome! wish it had an on the fly micro adjust like the new Monta. Maybe that will be the next area of improvment for them now they have got some spotlight from the new movement.
I own an Aquis 39.5 with the tungsten bezel, it looks beautiful but the timing could be more accurate. Would i pay twice the price for an in house movement to solve that... no, i'd be eying up a black bay instead around that sort of money.
If i was going for an Oris, the caliber 400 would definitely be the one i would go for, very impressive specs. And that color looks amazing. Thankfully my collection has too many divers already.😅 My wallet couldn't handle an Oris atm.
Love it! Will wait for the price to drop on gray market. Can get it from an AD online right now for $2950 USD, which brings a lot more options to consider. My Aquis Big Day/Date is simply phenomenal, however. More accurate than my Breitling, lol, despite only sporting the SW200. Great review.
He was my favorite James Bond, and I enjoyed everything he did.........He was among the last Great actors of my (older) generation. Not many of them left.
...The names Bond, James Bond. Him, entering the gaming room in Goldfinger and sitting down,perfection. It forever sealed the persona of Bond to me. His Aston Martin and its capacity's was a natural for him. A beautiful watch Jody, thank you.
Great video! I think it’s a great watch, movement, and fair price. If you bought one of these and a Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic you’d have two watches for almost every occasion that are unlikely to stop running.
Love the watch, movement seems an improvement, but costs US1,000 more than my Oris Lake Baikal which looks similar and like the dail better. If I didn't have it, maybe. Still Kudo's to Oris. Maybe next year if they have more models with the new version. If and when they toss this new movement into the Divers 65 in bronze and not in bronze, I'd be interested.
5 day power is impressive and a selling point when comparing to other watches, but not for 50% higher price! Sounds like pricing to quickly recover R&D spend, but it puts the 400 up against a wider range of competition.
Christopher Ward have quite a few models with their in house SH21 calibre - 120 hr power reserve and COSC certified - for up to £1000 less than the Oris. Value for money Oris?
Hey mate! Good for the cheapies, but not for your good stuff. I've reviewed both (Barrington double and Boxy Fancy Bricks quads) in the past so they should be searchable. Cheers!
I'm intrigued by this movement, but that is a big premium. I wonder if it would have been easier to swallow if it were introduced with an entirely new design, rather than looking exactly the same as the much more affordable one. For comparison, I have a Ball Roadmaster Icebreaker with their in-house movement. There is also one with a standard (modified ETA) movement, and the price difference is only a few hundred dollars. I admit it is not as fancy as the Oris 400, but it has an 80 hour power reserve, 28,800 bph retained, and is COSC certified.
Hello, Jody. I am huge fan of your channel! I would like to suggest a watch for you. It's calvin klein infinite (K5s3414y) which is selling on jomashop only for 149.9 dollors. It has sapphire glass, eta2824-2, metal bracelet, etc. Since your channel is for affordable watches, this would be perfect watch to make video about. Having genuine eta movement which costs more than the price of the watch itself is insane in my opinion. I strongly suggest you to find more about this watch!
Great informative video. Love your work and unbiased opinions so thank you. In regards to the watch. Beautiful aquis as usual. Amazing colour, and now wonderful in house movement. It looks better than the seamaster, submariner and the Tudor. Gives the Breitling heritage a run as well. The movement is personal. If you don't mind throwing extra money away for bragging right, then go for it. Otherwise the original will certainly do the job just well for many years. There's no right or wrong. Whatever floats your boat. All the aquis watches are gorgeous. Always have been and wont make a lot difference. I love this new colour however but might wait a couple of years for a good second hand example. It's stunning.
I think it’s a pretty fair price given the build, design and movement. (And this is coming from someone who’s very happy with the green 39,5 aquis) But it puts it up there with some of the Nomos watches - been thinking about the Nomos Ahoi for years...
Nice looking watch , seems way too much$ for the in house design movement they're closer to an omega 300 m in pricing but at a tag heuer aquaracer quality I own both and like them both but you can see the difference in price and quality I would have rather seen a cos sw200 than a none, in house design movement with out such a huge increase in price
" ...putting them right up there with Vostok in that regard!" LMAO Jody, your sneaky Scotch humor is kickin'em hard! Cheers mate!
It’s both funny and quite true.
Lol yeah, I laughed at that awesome comment as well.
A really magnificent watch, inside and out. At the end of the day it's hard to justify any watch over $1000 USD and comes down to personal preferences.
Exactly right. Once they have it for a while on the GREEN Aquis, I will go to the AD and try on both...and see...and decide which green one to get...and try them on again, and think about it, and walk out with one of them :) But that means I won't be getting the "regular" Aquis green for some time, but I have to wait to compare.
You can't win with the watch community. Inhouse movement, with 5 day power reserve and an industry leading 10 year warranty. Great job Oris!! Now about those proprietary lugs. 😂
Well, it's a turd of a movement and do people still belive in warranties?
@@CapaNoisyCapa Apparently. Who hasn’t received a call about an extended warranty for their vehicle?

I feel personally attacked. I have a Tudor Black Bay but I have 2 oris aquis.
@@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 haha sorry Matt, I'm only jealous.
Seriously cool watch, I've always loved the Oris offerings and that 5 day reserve is awesome unique selling point.
Very cool movement in a fantastic looking watch.
But for my money, I'd take a Pelagos(I'm a sucker for dates and crown guards) for not much more.
Pelagos review coming this weekend.....
The dial is stunning, the color of blue bezel is really nice... the bracelet looks like a damn Parnis factory one though!
Super intriguing this new in-house movement deal. I’ve got the 65, Aquis, and the Big Crown pointer day (cool out of the ordinary watch) all great watches. This new caliber adds an amazing new twist. Trying to decide if i want to upgrade my Aquis for the new one.... thanks for the insight
This is a fantastic development for Oris and the new Aquis Caliber 400 will be bought by me in 2021! The price for the spec is superb! Cannot wait! Great review as always. Ps RIP Sir Sean Connery!
I have three Oris and love them. Perennial underdog of Swiss watches. That’s all I have for you. Not exactly the contents of Ottoman Sultan Selim The Grims Anatolian library in therms of enlightenment, but , that’s lockdown for you.
...btw, some excellent editing of yer man’s informative presentation/voice over. Regardless of the lovely watch, a great produced vid.
Thanks mate! Colour balance a bit all over the place, but I'm getting there slowly in the new studio. 👍
Nice to see they have dropped the red rotor, the movement look much better to my eye :)
Sorry, not for me. For an extra £60 retail, I could get the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight on a bracelet. I see Oris have also dropped the red coloured 'Hi-Mech' rotor.
It's going to be Tudor BB 58 for me too
Really??? You prefer a Sub copy with aluminium bezel and caliber shared with Chanel, Fortis and Norqain?? Instead of this massive superior movement? That’s the power of marketing!
@@albertocasoni6691 Good point
@DiscoFalcon all of us have different taste and expectations from watches: I am not impressed by Tudor Bb, my preferred one is the Pelagos that is more in line with the story of Tudor. In my humble opinion, the Bb family is a marketing proposal for Rolex Sub eagers: looking at my wrist, the Bb just remind me his famous cousin... nothing else. While Pelagos has his own presence and communicate a clear attitude. Enjoy your Bb!
@@albertocasoni6691 yup marketing to watch nerds. Not one person who is not into watches would pick the Tudor Black bay looks over the Oris.
brill watch love it... not sure about the price when u can get a tudor for just a bit more cash cheers
I have several Aquis models and the issue here for me really is the price point. I bought them all NIB via reputable US gray market sellers for $1000-$1500. If the price is going to float into the $3000 +/- range that's going to be a make or break issue. I like my Aquis watches, but Oris is not a brand I'm ready to drop $3000+ on. The movement is an impressive flex but in my experience they need to bring up their Aquis bracelet engineering/manufacturing game (screws backing out and detaching Aquis bracelets is a common occurrence, and two of mine had this issue) and service game if they are going to be at near Omega pricing levels.
Love the blue sunburst dial.
I like what Oris is doing, you got some explaining to do that's for sure 👍🏼👍🏼great movement from Oris no doubt, the price a little bit on decide, will see what happens...
The Oris is a nice looking watch. It may be a similar price to the Tudor BB58 - the big difference is that you can actually buy an Oris!
"...as 2020 stakes it's claim as the worst year ever..."
- Just learned 5mins before hearing this Sean Connery had past. - Yup. You bet it is!
But it's still a beautiful watch!
He knows his stuff!
As I saw Oris announcing new movement I immediatelly pulled the trigger on Oris big crown blue dial like new from chrono24 on bracelet and it is coming on Monday, cant wait for it. Hoping that it will skyrocket in value just like Black bay ETA, but I dont care really :)
Classic design and revolutionary movement. What could be better? Price ;)
I love the Aquis . Not sure printing 5 days on the dial is necessary. Bit of an odd decision in my opinion
The Selita powered 41.5 mm would be the one for me. However when I got mine that was not available, still love the 43.5 but would love to swap it for the slightly smaller one. The new movement is lovely, just not worth all that extra dosh as I wear it in rotation with others.
Agree Mark. 43.5 still very wearable, but I think the 41.5 will be Goldilocks porridge.
@@JustOneMoreWatch Goldilocks porridge, love that one Jody. Might steal it too 😂
Hmm. Lovely, but not enough to divert me from Aquis Lake Baikal edition that I'm weighing up (read: trying to figure out how to sneak it past the missus)
Hi Jody. great review and plenty of pros and cons. but not for me at the price. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Thanks Captain!
A new bad boy on the block...
I like it, and the quick detach bracelet is awsome!
wish it had an on the fly micro adjust like the new Monta. Maybe that will be the next area of improvment for them now they have got some spotlight from the new movement.
I own an Aquis 39.5 with the tungsten bezel, it looks beautiful but the timing could be more accurate. Would i pay twice the price for an in house movement to solve that... no, i'd be eying up a black bay instead around that sort of money.
Couldn’t agree more. Nice review Jody
Love Oris, the movement is very cool as well. I would definitely go for the Sellita though, the price bump is too massive.
Same here!
When I recently put the clocks back
I thought do I really need an other hour of 2020!
If i was going for an Oris, the caliber 400 would definitely be the one i would go for, very impressive specs. And that color looks amazing. Thankfully my collection has too many divers already.😅 My wallet couldn't handle an Oris atm.
I’m cool with the Selita.
As always to the point! Love your videos as always my friend!
Thanks mate! 💪💪
Love it! Will wait for the price to drop on gray market. Can get it from an AD online right now for $2950 USD, which brings a lot more options to consider. My Aquis Big Day/Date is simply phenomenal, however. More accurate than my Breitling, lol, despite only sporting the SW200. Great review.
Yes I think it is. Lovely watch and this was just what it needed. That sw200 needed to be gone. Now it is !!!
Great Oris Review!
Dude! Sick shirt!
The death of Sir Thomas Sean Connery has officially made this the worst year ever😞
I shed a tear.
@@JustOneMoreWatch I’ll be watching Dr. No is a minute, he will be missed
He was my favorite James Bond, and I enjoyed everything he did.........He was among the last Great actors of my (older) generation. Not many of them left.
RIP Sir Sean Connery!
...The names Bond, James Bond.
Him, entering the gaming room in Goldfinger and sitting down,perfection.
It forever sealed the persona of Bond to me.
His Aston Martin and its capacity's was a natural for him.
A beautiful watch Jody, thank you.
Great video! I think it’s a great watch, movement, and fair price. If you bought one of these and a Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic you’d have two watches for almost every occasion that are unlikely to stop running.
Love your work! Love my Aquis I picked up used from W.A. for $1000 aus.
Sw200 Aquis has been on my list for a bit but keeps getting delayed by buying these Zelos and Lorier watches. This hobby is tough!
Oris aquis 41.5, with on the fly microadjust and the ceramic ball bearing bezel action, id buy!!
Great bud as always Jody. I hope the next watch
Love the watch, movement seems an improvement, but costs US1,000 more than my Oris Lake Baikal which looks similar and like the dail better. If I didn't have it, maybe. Still Kudo's to Oris. Maybe next year if they have more models with the new version. If and when they toss this new movement into the Divers 65 in bronze and not in bronze, I'd be interested.
Looks absolutely amazing. Love the color and 6 o’clock date.
I hope Oris will make a 40mm version of this new calibre 400.
5 day power is impressive and a selling point when comparing to other watches, but not for 50% higher price! Sounds like pricing to quickly recover R&D spend, but it puts the 400 up against a wider range of competition.
Christopher Ward have quite a few models with their in house SH21 calibre - 120 hr power reserve and COSC certified - for up to £1000 less than the Oris. Value for money Oris?
What are the watch winders behind you in this video? I would love to see a quick piece on your thoughts on such technology.
I believe they are called boxy winders, I think there is already a video on his channel talking about them
Hey mate! Good for the cheapies, but not for your good stuff. I've reviewed both (Barrington double and Boxy Fancy Bricks quads) in the past so they should be searchable. Cheers!
Doing worse sadly in France with colleagues and family getting the dreaded virus. I hope the rest of the World is doing better
Here’s hoping you, your colleagues and family can pull through 🙏🏻 unscathed 👍🏻
@@Yorkshiremadmick thank you very much, all the best to all of the World in these hard times
You're a genius sir !
I'm intrigued by this movement, but that is a big premium. I wonder if it would have been easier to swallow if it were introduced with an entirely new design, rather than looking exactly the same as the much more affordable one. For comparison, I have a Ball Roadmaster Icebreaker with their in-house movement. There is also one with a standard (modified ETA) movement, and the price difference is only a few hundred dollars. I admit it is not as fancy as the Oris 400, but it has an 80 hour power reserve, 28,800 bph retained, and is COSC certified.
Hello, Jody. I am huge fan of your channel! I would like to suggest a watch for you. It's calvin klein infinite (K5s3414y) which is selling on jomashop only for 149.9 dollors. It has sapphire glass, eta2824-2, metal bracelet, etc. Since your channel is for affordable watches, this would be perfect watch to make video about.
Having genuine eta movement which costs more than the price of the watch itself is insane in my opinion. I strongly suggest you to find more about this watch!
I bought one from THG Brisbane and it ticks every box I think i wanted in a watch. I think they may have moved up to Tudor level with that one.
Hey Jody, you need to review an Oris Pro Pilot, probably the best value watch Oris do..
I used to like Oris, but revised my view, last year. In part, that was because of a publicly stated opinion from Oris regarding luxury watch pricing.
Once they come out with the 41.5mm version of the Aquis C400 I’m most definitely getting one! I’m sure I can get my usual 20% off at my AD
Hi just wondering what do you think about the tauchmeister dive watch? Have you heard of it?
Any issues with the minute hand jumping while hacking or setting the time?
Great informative video. Love your work and unbiased opinions so thank you. In regards to the watch. Beautiful aquis as usual. Amazing colour, and now wonderful in house movement. It looks better than the seamaster, submariner and the Tudor. Gives the Breitling heritage a run as well. The movement is personal. If you don't mind throwing extra money away for bragging right, then go for it. Otherwise the original will certainly do the job just well for many years. There's no right or wrong. Whatever floats your boat. All the aquis watches are gorgeous. Always have been and wont make a lot difference. I love this new colour however but might wait a couple of years for a good second hand example. It's stunning.
Great review, thanks heaps 👍
I think it’s a pretty fair price given the build, design and movement.
(And this is coming from someone who’s very happy with the green 39,5 aquis)
But it puts it up there with some of the Nomos watches - been thinking about the Nomos Ahoi for years...
Nice looking watch , seems way too much$ for the in house design movement they're closer to an omega 300 m in pricing but at a tag heuer aquaracer quality I own both and like them both but you can see the difference in price and quality I would have rather seen a cos sw200 than a none, in house design movement with out such a huge increase in price
Good points
5 day power reserve is a step up. 120 hours
I had this one, you've got to wind the shit out of it to achieve the full P.R.
