Oris Aquis Watch Review

The History of the Oris Aquis Collection

Oris Watchmaking Company has transitioned over the years through the production of several luxury watches that maintain quality and fundamental features. During the initial decades, the company focused on the production of pocket watches, which were heavily demanded then. In I925, the brand reshaped its model by introducing the bracelet buckles to the pocket watches.

The move made Oris watches gain recognition worldwide due to innovative and quality features. Around the 1960s, the industry had changed, and the trend was on recreational diving watches. Oris assessed the market and produced a quality 100m waterproof timepiece that had a calibrated unidirectional rotating bezel. Divers loved it because it was now easy for them to track the underwater movements.

The Quartz Crisis affected many Swiss brands, but Oris didn’t feel the impact. It continued to thrive and succeed in the watchmaking arena due to its innovative nature. The 21st century has been extremely good for divers who love Oris watches. Through re-launching of the divers Oris Aquis watch line with excellent performance and functionality and introduction of Aquis models in 2011, the company evidenced its capability to produce high-quality timepieces. After the success of the Aquis Depth Gauge, Oris has produced several watches in the Oris Aquis Collection. Read on to get the comprehensive details.
