After a very brief, and very successful, cameo appearance in Lume Wars at the weekend, the big Aquis is back to for a full review. A lot to like, but a few things I am not so keen on. Big thank you to Peter at Oris Australia for loaning me the watch for a week or so. Cheers, Jody
Love Oris. Though I prefer the Aquis Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition III - that aquamarine color is stunning!
I found it highly amusing watching you talking with your hands reflected in the watch's polished surfaces.
Good work spelling out that the content is not paid, and that you have to send the watch back. Your integrity is admirable.
I also feel that at this price point, it should be a COSC Certified watch, or at least have been regulated to within an inch of it's life by Oris staff. Doesn't make sense to me at this price point, though I do love this watch.
I again agree regarding the colorway.
I dont know man, COSC certification isn’t common ground in this price range. Better regulation I agree though. At around 3k I expect within at least 7 seconds a day. And at 7 I’d be slightly disappointed
Wall clock review.....
Offhand Airgunner lol I was looking at that Rolex clock too
Same here, I like to grab one of them to hang on my wall. Very nice👍👍👍👍👍
It’s all about the clock!
Where to get some Rolex wall clocks?
Jingly jangly metal GMT for poor people pfffffff!
Jody the change up on format was nice. Your disclosures and honesty make you content very relatable to everyone. Great job
Would you consider doing a q&a for your subscribers? I think your American followers imagine you driving a Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe 1973 "V8 Interceptor", lobbing Molotov cocktails, and playing bagpipes while devouring haggis on the weekends. I dunno, am I close?
Thanks for another great review! I love this watch. Cheers from San Diego!! :)
Lol and a Q&A a is good idea it could all be true!
Mate, you hit it spot on. 😂😂
Two men enter...one man leaves
Jody you’re killing me. Just got my Sary 057. You’re a bad man 😄
Having said that I’d be more likely to go for the regular Aquis. Whilst this one is a looker, it’s neither fish nor fowl in my mind. Very pretty though.
Ben Galvin *Fowl*
Peter Shallis my bad
Beautiful watch! Also I like the GMT marking on the dial in addition to the GMT marking on the bezel insert: means you can get 3 different time zones at a glance! Personally it is a very useful feature: local time where I am, time at Office and UTC time for worldwide business purpose. However, wish the price would be somewhere less...
Stupid question - can the GMT only be GMT - I guess it can be anything you want it to be…?
@@andersstengaardjensen2208 are you stupid? No question here, just experience sharing on how I am enjoying the additional marking on the chapter ring to get 3 different times at a glance. Well, you have probably not understood the thing…
My oris gets more compliments than any of the rolex watches. The bracelet has the perfect bling and is a size I wouldn't normally buy but on wrist it was perfect. There is a big crown pointer and gmt in my near future. 2700 usd but usually can catch on sale at 1800 roughly 30% off.
Over a 100 years of watchmaking, yet they got the GMT function backward. A bit like CW making their upper dupper special edition titanium dive watch, and then proceed to print the bezel backward... except they didn't charge 3.8k for it. Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the functions of the watch, too many reviewers drone on about the look of the watch(as if we didn't have eyes to see), yet don't even cover the basic.
i think the gmt hand is not lumed because the 24h-markings are not illuminated, so it would be more of a guess to which number it points.
I really want the wall clock but with the Coke bezel. Great review as usual.
Came here from the Formex Reef via the Oris Aquis 41.5 video!
I like the Aquis, but I don't LOVE the Aquis. The case is just too round. I think I prefer a more square case, like the Divers 65 has with its lugs. It's the same reason I gave my Oris Formula 1 Williams, to my Dad!
If I was getting a GMT I would get the Grand Seiko SBGN003 (sadly discontinued 😢), or the new V3 Pagani Design Explorer 2 with black dial and Seiko Movement. I'd set it to Australian time so that I would know what time it is in JOMW land.
What I really like about Oris is the fact that you can register your watches on their website and see them all in the 'My Watches' section. This could really help in the event of a burglary or such like. I wish other brands did this. It would be cool to see them all in a collection on screen.
If you own an Oris with those funny screw pins; get the dealer to use some 'threadlock' or similar to glue them in place. If they fall out (like mine did) it's a right faff getting a replacement. Luckily, Oris didn't charge me on that occasion.
If only the price was closer to the standard Oris I think it would be a good deal. Seems expensive for an Oris watch. I love your new clock (ROLEX)
It already has the internal GMT ring, so I'd say replace the GMT bezel with a dive bezel, and have a true dual-purpose watch.
Yes but its not a real dive Watch. With the GMT bezel you can track another time zone which can be very useful too.
A battery powered Rolex 🙈 lol, nice clock 👍 Oris looks good but 38-40m my sweet spot.
I would try them on if you are keen. I thought the same and figured the 39 would be for me... I tried both sizes and the 43 was perfect. The case is just so round it kinda works (no real lug protrusion).
That Clock is WAY more interesting than the Oris you have reviewed :) Where should we get it? How? How much?
The Oris Aquis GMT is a beautiful and affordable dive watch. The blue and black color of the dial is very beautiful.
Are you kidding? Blue & black with that yellow tipped GMT hand? That is Batman’s watch. I wish they’d done the type on the inner concentric ring in yellow to match the GMT hand. But it’s all too rich for me. But nice to admire. Another great review Jody.
Jody can I blame you for my expanding collection? Nah, you only pointed the way.
Seven watches in two months. I'm awaiting the Heimdalrr Darth Engineer pvd tuna can next month. Hopefully I'll be happy with 8 watches, for now.
Perhaps a slight mental shift is required for GMT “divers”. The history of GMT’s was more tied to Pilots and Adventurers. Basing the watch off of a diver was perhaps to make it the most rugged watch they had for the various activities these people would encounter. I hear many RUclips watch review were’s complain about polished surfaces on GMT’s but if you look at an international airline pilot and his lifestyle he’s more likely to have an upscale world to circulate in. So a polished GMT is a proper tool for an international Pilot. The Glycine and Rolex GMTs were made at the request of aviators. Instead of thinking of them as dive tool watches. It makes more since to think of them as pilot watches one could dive in when in a coastal town.
Regarding sizes for the Aquis, what's written on paper isn't even close to how the watch actually wears. I normally wear 40mm watches, so I thought the 39.5mm Aquis would be the better fit. Went to an AD, tried it on, and I could have sworn I was wearing a 36mm watch (even asked the gentleman at the store to measure it for me to verify it was indeed 39.5). The 43.5mm on the other hand fit so well.
This has to be one of the best reviews I've ever seen. You're extremely good. Very excited to see a fellow Scot as well. Keep it up!
Looks okay, but lacks the charm of the '65 and @ 2300 €, I expect better than + 14 secs/day. Sits in an uncomfortable area between Longines Hydroconquest and Nomos Ahoi / Tudor Black Bay on steel. Save a bit longer and get the Nomos.
Nice watch. The great thing about Oris is their large case designs still wear small. I own a tt1 diver 44mm, it's very comfortable to wear and is a superb quality watch.
You will never go wrong with a Oris Aquis they are just that good.
Love it..... little bit of Sky-Dweller to the dial.
My Oris Aquis Staghorn got a little TLC and now has a brushed bracelet and lugs... looks so much better in my opinion. Great watches by Oris 👌
I was sold on the CW now I'm 😕 My wifes going to murder me! Great review 👍 wall clock looks awesome
Thank you for introducing me to an Oris I actually like, though i'm still far from convinced by GMT watches and at that price I personally will pass. Nice watch though 👍
I don't know what happened with Oris prices, they went from reasonably affordable to over priced in my opinion. Two years ago you could have got an Oris Aquis for $1000 ( or less) now they're $1500 grey market to $2000 AD. Way over priced considering the movement, and the proprietary straps and bracelets limit your options.
Watch industry hype is what happened. More and more companies and ADs are realizing they can take a bigger profit margin on their watch sales, and people will buy. There's are plenty of people with expendable income in all price brackets, and with watches taking off more than ever before in my opinion, it's not surprising this trend is occurring.
Hell, not too long ago, you were able to get a Rolex sports watch for not too much more than the price of a new Oris Aquis today.
They still under price
@@themaker1000000 Well, if you hand me $5K I'll gladly you buy you one.
I agree....would prefer either all blue or all black. but they still have not come out with new colors for this one.
Didn’t go through all the comments but when changing time zones you must reset both the time and the GMT hand. My old Explorer II let you adjust only the hour hand which was much easier. Still, this is my next watch.
They were part of the Swatch group but bought themselves out. Nice watch but it’s a tad big. I own a Lake Baikal and it wears all of it’s 43.5mm. Very nicely made with nice bracelet and clasp. Very sharp looking too.
Contrary to your notion that the bezel can’t be used as a timing device with regards to your complaint that the GMT hand has very little lume ... the bezel on this Oris is a 120 click bezel which in fact can be used as a timing device. I’m very surprised (in a good way) that this watch has a 120 click bezel being the fact that most (if not all) other GMT watches only have a 24 click bezel. Oris definitely innovates and think’s outside the box. It would have been nice to see you go further into the GMT functionality of this watch with the mention of this unique bezel. They have another Oris model called the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Worldtimer in which the bezel can be used to quickly set the time in one hour increments which I’ve never seen on a watch before that model came out either.
a bit late to the comments, considered this the Tudor BB GMT and the aqua racer GMT. Choose this although the Tudor is a proper quick change GMT and better movement. Really because I like the inner 24 hour bezel and smaller GMT hand. The blue dial is amazing the Tudor a bit plain , although the aqua racer has a lovely dial to, but big GMT hand and no small 24 hour bezel .
BUT i also got the Oris in a sale for £1500 so half the price of the Tudor and £1000 less than the Tag . Money not the overnight factor but important and the dial of the Oris is the most impressive of the 3.
Nobody is gonna go scuba diving with this watch. Just like nobody typically tracks their Porsche 911. But it is a beautiful watch and would make a great daily wearer/disk diver.😀
I do quite like this model. I like the *functionality* on the inner hour ring, but it does make the dial a *touch* busier than I'd prefer.
Very nice overview of a nice watch. I think the ‘5 things I don’t like’ are spot on accurate. They will be deal breakers for some, while non issues for others, except for the price. Per a previous comment, I am curious as to when you might be releasing your review of the Tissot Seastar 1000, Powermatic 80. I can’t wait to see that review.....Thanks Jody.
The Rolex on ur wall must've cost ya a bazillion dollars, ay?😂😂
It's the only Rolex without a waiting list lol.
I bet it is😂! It is nice looking anyway.
Sure does have a nice sweeping seconds ✋
Tsk tsk, that lumeless GMT hand. Will be waiting and hoping for an update to this model.
Great review, as always.
Safe to say we agree on quit a few things, when Oris is involved, thanks to your review I fell in love and purchased my bronze big crown pointer date.
Another great video mate. Its a nice watch. The Christopher Ward C65 GMT Pepsi I have has a lumed GMT hand and Dive bezel as opposed to the GMT Bezel. It’s good value at £960 on a bracelet although you’ll probably find a voucher for £100 off somewhere.
i want one of them big rolex wall clock lol
Does the bezel move on the rolex clock? That would be silly awesome.
Given the price of Rolex watches the clock must be a fortune!!
@Cool Crush Ice Killa It was a joke. I make the same joke when I pass the jewellers or whenever I see the clock on sporting events.
Which makes me wonder, I wonder who makes those 'official' clocks mechanisms ?
Thanks for the great review. The polished bracelet is the biggest turn-off for me. I need brushed. Too bad, such a beautiful dial.
Where can I buy the Rolex wall clock you show in this video?. It's awesone.
Only thing about Aquis is that the watch should be a lot more bigger if they do a proper case and lugs without the bazel oversized the case..it looks like a big head with a narrow neck ..the green on green is nice..
Very nice. What I don't like is the integrated bracelet and that it is not a true GMT. The latter was the deal breaker, besides that it is more expensive than what I was planning to spend!
Hey Jody, could you please do a review of your timegrapher + give a link to where you got it? Much appreciated🙌🏼
They are on ebay 👍
Very nice, very interesting until you mention the price... Then it ceased to interesting.

Love my Oris 65 bronze bezel, this one a bit big and a simpler dial would be better.
Hope you can get hold of a Steinhart soon to review. If I lived in Aus or was visiting my brother-in-law in Adelaide I would send you one of my 39mm Steinharts.
Great reviews as always, best watch channel on the Tube.
I thought you put an Invicta on the wall but it's just a Rolex clock.
Rolex is an homage to invicta.
shashank shukla ...scandalous statement 😂😂😂👍⌚️
The “Pro Diver” line is ok....but ya....their other stuff is ridiculously big😆
Just bought the whale shark. Love it. In the right light, the colours are wonderful.
Just One More Question. Every year millions of watches get produced. I'm sure lots sell but a huge amount don't, what happens to them. Thanks enjoy your show.
Grey market I think 🤔
Wow. We need a review of that clock! And a promo code for it ;) Where you can get one?! Please :)
Wall clock on point! Loved the podcast you did with scottishwatches!!!
Like it. Like the polished surfaces too 👍 i was surprised by the size when i tried the 39 and 43 aswell. 43 is great.
The integrated bracelet and that bloody great red rotor are deal killers for me.
Agree with you too about the lack of lime on the GMT hand ?
Colors scheme. Same here. Love the blue. Hate the combination with Black (at least on a watch)
As a person who switches from bracelet to nato to leather every week, I see this one as a deal breaker. Decent watch, but I'd certainly not pay that much money when there's better options out there.
Color scheme looks amazing, even better than the Rolex Batman.
To me it looks gorgeous, albeit a bit pricey. I hear what you are saying about the polished surfaces, but I like the mix. And let's be real. I would be surprised if more than a quarter of dive watches are really used for diving. Guys just like the looks of divers.
True dat.
3% would be surprising.
@@P_Ezi I'm lucky to hit 5m with my diver
Love the Aquis, you get alot for your $ .I do prefer the looks of the regular dive model though.
My complaint - the GMT hand shouldn't be the non-hacked adjustable hand, the hour hand should.
The way it should work: set the time of the GMT and the watch hour/min hands to local when at home. Then, when you land, adjust the hour (non-hacked second hand) to local time. The minutes and seconds aren't disrupted, and 1 or 2 clicks, and you have local on the watch and the family on the GMT hand.
To do that on this watch, you have to change the time, with the second hand hacked. Make sure you re-set the minutes properly (off your cell phone, i guess). Then, re-adjust the GMT hand back to home time. What a pain.
Don't like the blue and black either... in this class & styling I'd choose the blue Hydroconquest, for less than half the price. Which I have ;-) If I want a GMT I'd go for the Steinhart... maybe I will, come to think of it. Argh, just one more watch lol.
Awesome, love the lug changeup too!
Great Show, unreal zoom edits.
You Beauty Sydney.
Really surprised by the accuracy, my Aquis date has stayed within COSC since I bought it a year ago.
Nice Rolex GMT Pepsi.
Mr X lend you that?
Ha! No, that one is mine. But I will borrow his for a review soon....
Like the dial colour on this one, looks classy.
For that price I would much rather get a Monta Skyquest or Atlas and still have tons of money left over for straps/other watches
Its interesting how you explain things using your hands although camera is focused on the watch soloely :)
Gorgeous Oris.
Excelent vídeo.
Can you show us the back of this Rolex clock on your wall please? Which movement is used in it? Best regards from Brazil, Mário.
Great review. I’m okay with your 5 dislikes. Not too many owners will dive with their watch.
Great review. I brought this watch today matches the date on the watch your reviewing.
When timing a dive at night, I only meed a pip and a lumed minutes hand. I have never dived with a watch that had a fully lumed bezel. Dive watches, for me, are only a backup for a dive computer anyway.
Jody you talk about asking for discounts on watches like this from stores etc. is it a stupid question to ask what sort of percentage we should start with when we look at this situation? There is a ORIS AQUIS DATE (GREEN) local, $2700. No one talks about how to buy these for from a retailer on youtube. I'd never by online I need to touch it wear it first for this sort of money.
Thanks for this review. I was just researching Oris watches a few days ago and had put this watch on my to-buy list. But good to know that there will likely be more color combinations in the future. I appreciate your review. Thanks! PS. I liked the Rolex Wall Clock too. Very nice. :-)
Love this video, would like to see an Oris Big Crown Pro Pilot Timer GMT review next!
I really like the looks and specs, but +14/day is way out for a watch at this cost. I've got cheap Chinese movements that are way tighter. I do wish the lugs were more universal.
jim feldman I was really surprised by the accuracy. My Aquis date has remained within cosc since the day I picked it up.
@@macblack82 And that would be my expectation. It was a loaner so who knows what it's been through. I'm just surprised the dealer sent him one to review that was that off.
Excellent Review !! with the 5 things you don't like so much, it provides valuable information to your Subscribers and Viewers and differentiates you from others. Congratulations !
Hmm, I actually rather really like the blue/black on this watch, as well as all the polishing - on the contrary, if it were brushed, it would look far less impressive and kinda boring. I'm pretty sure that most people that are going to buy this have many other watches to wear and that it probably wouldn't be a daily piece, or at least one that wouldn't see any kind of real abuse. I do agree on the lack of lume on the GMT hand though, that was dumb to keep it off of there. They sell for much cheaper on the grey market here in the states though, so that's kind of a positive lol
You need to review the Oris Aquis small seconds, Orange version. Thanks
Thanks Jarod. The Grey market must be very large.
The lack of lume on the GMT hand is particularly perplexing since they only outlined the tip of that hand in yellow. Why wouldn’t they fill in the color if the white center isn’t lume filled? I liked the yellow color, but thought it looked washed out/overpowered by the white fill.
Unlike Fedrico, Jody's clock actually works. Lol
I was looking at on at the dealer here yesterday it was 2700 u.s. dollars I really liked it exactly the same
hello sir, not my cup of tea this oris but please make a review for the rolex wall clock. may i know where did you get it? keep it coming... cheers. :)
Just not worth the price imo and 13sd is 7s26 accuracy not $3k watch, shame as I like the brand
This Oris is not exactly my cup of tea but maybe later editions will catch my interest. Please do a review on the Raymond Weil Tango GMT Bob Marley Limited Edition sometime soon.
A few km from Maranello! Will watch it later! Keep up the good work Jody!!
Nice mate! Pick me up a black one ;)
Beautiful from whatever angle you look at it, money wise out of reach, like so many other things in life
I want the aquis 39.5mm green , but yeah they are expensive:/
I love Oris and they are one of the brands that got me into watches.
I own the aquis in the same colour scheme, a rectangular moon phase and a f1 William's.
I bought my aquis with bracelet and rubber strap (best ever rubber strap) for £800 so I just don't get the price of this. I also think this gmt version is not as good looking as the original.
If you took your wall clock and fit a wrist strap on it, you could have yourself a pretty nifty watch...
Or he could pull a Flavor Flav and wear it as a pendant! 😉
@@raye0826 He could do a soul video..
But is it any better finished than the Christopher Ward? Same movement? Much, much cheaper. They even have a model similar to the Oris 65. A bit difficult to defend Oris pricing is it not. I know that you have a relationship with an Oris dealership now but come on, what's your thoughts Jodie?
I knew it was possible to have a Rolex wall clock with working batteries in it. Call up Federico and tell him the good news...
Another cracking review buddy....nice looking piece....only one complaint, the date wheel, not colour coded, obviously it couldn't be due to location....perhaps in this case they should have gone without a date function....⌚🤔⌚🏴
See you've finally bit the bullet and picked up a Rolex....😉
You should review the Whale Shark limited edition one that just came out Jodie
I could get this for £1656 - would it be a steal at this price? It's a beautiful piece.
$3800 !
Now just think of the alternatives for that money.
It can be had for $2000 in the US.

Fortunately it can be found way cheaper.
But yeah if it were almost 4 grands, simply go for a Seamaster instead.
@@Ilestun I have a seamaster and I think my next watch will be an aquis gmt
@@joshuamyat5312 good choice!!!! Always buy the watch you want.
My next watch will be my first quartz, Oceanus s5000c.
Then I'll only miss a chronograph (most probably a speedmaster) and my collection will be complete.
I like the blue black do you only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the GMT but I could live with it and I like the polish Surfaces
I want that! But I don’t want to pay their price...
