I really dig this watch. I hope Oris makes it in Titanium or Stainless Steel. Its a great size, design, and the colors are on point. Bonus points for being from an independent brand. Thanks Richard for allowing me some hands on with this watch!
To support a great family owned brick and mortar-

In my opinion Zelos is the only one that did the bronze bracelet right, Bronze on top and Stainless Steel underneath !
True!
I own both, I far prefer the Oris bronze bracelet vs the Zelos.
Cool video, Bruce. I bought two of these beautiful Oris watches (blue and pink dials, both with leather straps) for my daughters. They absolutely love them!
Sounds a fantastic, really cool combo can see how your daughters love them ..
+ 1 on fan of this cotton candy series (all 3 colors). Not only is size/comfort great for either men/women but gotten serious attention, compliments and curiosity (what is it). Only comment I usually get with other Swiss watches is "is it real".
Actually totally agree with your sentiments about Oris. They've mafe some really bold moves that I like and respect in the past 5 years. The ProPilot X in particular is the best example. If it had any other name on the dial besides Oris people would be raging about the value.
Anyway, Oris obviously has an incredible design team. 5-10 years ago Oris had some interesting pieces, but "interesting" in the Ball sense, that they mainly appealed to enthusiasts and grey market bargain hunters, whereas now, their designs are timeless masterpieces that I think are really elevating the brand. They have done their homework for sure.
This series is such a breath of fresh air to the watch industry. Young, vibrant, unusual, turn-head, stunning. Agree that it is overcharged, actually Oris should lower all its watches' price. They are generally expensive compared to Hamilton or Tissot.
Oris = close but no cigar. A brand that I really like, Fortis, has the same problem
I love this thing. I love anything unique.
Terrific video thanks
Stunning watch! very, very nice!
Looks like Oris trying anything and everything to see what sticks.
Bit of rolex Tiffany blue dial that seems popular
Brilliant review Bruce 👏👏👏
I’m a big time watch nerd. I work in the industry for a top 10 Swiss brand and I absolutely love this watch. This is just fun, unique, and brings back the kid in me of wearing something and smiling. Is it a serious watch? No. Is it meant to be a top contender in its price range? I don’t think so. I think it’s a niche fun product and I’m so for it. I’ll be picking this up soon as a fun watch for my collection. Probably get some fun nato straps and have a colorful wrist presence.
Definitely agree with u, want the steel version!
I love it, but I'd like to see a 40mm or 41mm version.
Bronze with blue dials has never worked for me. Green and bronze would have worked so much better for me. Sadly, that single issue would keep me from ever wanting this one.
I have to agree Bruce, we should be offered this in a steel or titanium case. That would really widen the possible interested audience for sales. I really respect Oris as a brand who are happy to take chances given that they are far smaller than some of the larger brands. That they introduced the in house designed cal 400 could have been a huge risk but they back it up by a 10 year service and warranty, I live my Aquis 41.5 cal 400.
I’m in a dilemma right now between the Slate BBBronze/Tudor 43mm
And this Cotton Candy 38mm
First sizable acquisition. Help!
I’m trying to get a dive watch for every season and these fit the ‘Spring’ category perfectly, I’m with you about the value here - is there anything similar on the market?
I purchased the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 2021 Holstein Limited Edition. I hadn’t heard anything about it and luckily found it at an AD. I’ve always liked their pointer dates but the hands and bezel just didn’t do it for me and I wanted something under 40mm but not quite 36mm. It’s perfect, really made me decide to take a pause in my purchasing for a while.
The bronze bracelet is a bit too much for me. But on a brown, distressed leather strap I would consider it.
My sentiments exactly . Most of us have been there regarding specs , quality etc and we more than have this covered many times over . What really captures my imagination now is design , colour , character etc . With these pieces I don’t care if it is in-house has a decorated movement , monster loom etc . Design that speaks to me , decent accuracy and comfort on the wrist then I am in . These pieces are there to make you smile .. I’m really not a fan of bronze however these in 40mm stainless steel would be fantastic..,
I agree with you. I hope and soon take it out in stainless steel at a reasonable price.
I think you nailed the issues I have with Oris. They are competing in a very tough price category. I find it hard to justify spending $2,000ish on a watch with a generic movement when I can go with Hamilton, Tissot, and Christopher Ward for much cheaper and essentially get a watch with the same movement. Then you factor in the direct competition of Sinn, Longines, and Ball at the $2,000 price range who are offering some great features on their movements such as anti-magnetism and COSC movements, it becomes hard to justify buying Oris. Their new cal. 400 movements looks awesome but at $3,500 for an Aquis with the cal. 400 movement, why not just go Tudor or save up a bit more and go Omega? Obviously your points all go out the window though if you look at the Aquis, Diver 65, or pointer date and just fall in love with the aesthetics of the watch.
I agree with you: make one in steel and I'm gonna to get one.
Bruce I also love Oris but I'm not a bronze fan. The Aquis, Diver 65 and Big Crown Pointer Date ranges (in stainless steel) are all fantastic!! On my list is the new Cal 400 Aquis blue 41.5 like the one you are wearing. Golidilocks size and proportions for my 6.8inch wrist. Keep em coming Bruce - great production as always...
Powerful statement slipped in there - the more experienced collector isn't as interested in bang for buck. 100% agree btw, I think as we get more experienced we get more confident and as a result come to trust aesthetics more and specs less. And yet, a controversial thing to say.
I would buy the cotton candy blue if it were stainless steel also I'm not allergic to bronze i just don't like bronze.
I like oris! Ima get one for sure in the near futuro
I totally love it! Totally understand why folks wouldn’t go for it though. As it ages, the pop of colour will only get better.
Glad to see that you regularly feature one or another Oris watch on your channel, Bruce! Really appreciate the brand as well. I got three Oris watches in the past and currently still do own my awesome looking teal dial Clean Ocean Limited Edition Aquis! I think their 'cotton candy' looks cool but I'm definitely no fan of bronze at all. Your video of the watch clearly shows how the bronze quickly turns dark and imho dirty looking. I know you can refresh the look but c'mon... who often would your really do this when owning such a watch? Therefore I'm really looking forward to a steel or titanium version as well! Thanks for showing Bruce, keep it up.
One of these days I will pull the trigger on Oris. Love the original designs.
Kudos for releasing these models. However, how cool would the Cotton Candy models look in black pvd coated cases?!
That watch is an attention getter for sure. Personally, I would prefer a black dial.
Yep me too!!!! Black with gilt markings.
Nice looking watch. Oris are on a roll with their success so they can get away with this overcharging. As an enthusiast who values bang for the buck I’d never buy one because I know I was being screwed over a little just for the privilege of having a pretty design with ‘Swiss made’ printed on the dial. That said, you pay for good design and a good brand name so I can see why they are so desirable for many people.
I think it's ace, if I was minted would probably pick this up as a fun piece for the collection. I love that Oris are been a little crazy. Great vid Bruce. Regards Rosco
Wish someone would invent a more 'stable' bronze version or a compound that would make it stay the same color.
It's quirky, it's different - I like it!
If they did this in titanium I would definitely think about getting one. The darker titanium would make the dial pop more over the stainless steel imo.
Yes! Need this 38mm in SS then this would be an instant buy!
i purchased my first oris a month ago. it was a aquis date relief model with the anthracite dial.....i have to say, i am really surprised with the fit and finish.
Cool contrast saying “great design” with the Aquis sliding down the wrist. Unintended sarcasm: achieved.
Do you think the 400 Calibre movement will eventually make it's way to other models such as the Aquis Date 39?
I don't personally "get" bronze watches. If you like the color, go for gold. At least that won't turn your wrist green.
Yeah good point, but gold is more expensive.
They should rename it the oris copper and tin alloy special edition
I agree, that watch would look better in steel! I was thinking there might be a market in people swapping the gutz out of a steel D65 into the bronze and vice versa. The normal D65 would look great in the Bronze and the candy in the steel!
I think as these are, they are intended to appeal to affluent Rodeo Drive housewives for whom a $3K pink watch is a fashion accessory, not serious watch people.
If the price was a little more, reasonable and it was SS, I'd be down for it!
That said, in a year or so, when the watch starts to tarnish, I think the housewives will be moving those on and they'll be a bargain in the secondary market!
I like especially what you said about value. If oris prices something at 4 grand, they better understand that’s Tudor sea master range for me and I’ll never pick their oris over them. They need to choose their prices carefully and provide value.
Exactly. I would be buying this if the Tudor wasn’t so close to its price.
I’m leaning towards that Tudor value although I’m shopping for Bronze specifically. Bummer.
Nice video, but you'd think for that price they'd bother to color-match the date wheel
I absolutely love the size of that watch I love the bronze it’s beautiful, and 38 mm absolutely perfect I have 7 inch wrists or about 7.2 and this would be perfect but I cannot get past that colour it’s like someone threw a Smurf into the mix when they were making a classy chandelier, it makes no sense to me. If it was a light pastel yellow or a mild orange I could get past it.
It also doesn’t help that my high school car was a powder blue 1978 Dodge Monaco and everyone said “oh here comes RJ with his Smurf car” lols This colour brings back nightmares ;-). It also just looks too much like an Easter egg in my opinion, why oh why do they have to go with this colour!! If the classics didn’t have a colour like that, no way would I want this now. It doesn’t look correct. The Doxa Orange, for example, it just works. And even the other colours Doxa has branched into are done with class.
A diver at 38 is a bit too small for my wrist. If it was 40 to 42 mm it wouldve been a instant buy for me.
Yeah, bronze is really not my cup of tea. Hope Oris makes a stainless steel version of this.
see if you can find Oris diver momotoro. i think it's Le.
Yes, Titanium and 41 mm!
Intro song ?
2nd hand is the way to buy these Oris 65, then the price is more appropriate. Just bought my own 65 for $900 used but new condition, only regret I have is listening to random robs recommendation of the 42mm size, these watches wear large, 42 feels like a 44 with that slim bezel and long lug to lug.
Yeah I’m just waiting for stainless steel and any color. I’ll jump to get it. The only thing that puts me off is the bronze.
Does nowt for me TBH ( will turn wrists green and effeminate coloured dials, too small - but I'm not the target market) but good that one of my favourite brands is being daring.
Cheers Mate 👍🏻😁
Diver 65 in general isn't mainstream because for the longest time they were 42mm and too long, the lume is garbage and the water resistance was only 100m. The 100m I was fine with. Not the others. Is's strength are it's gorgeous rich dials. But that's it.
Oris went its own way, such as their BC4 small second pointer...that's why I own it. Now they are generic. Not for me but for someone WILL buy it.
Wow what a beautiful miss! Will be a great one to pick up flipped. 🎰
Fantastic dial but I'm not a fan of bronze watches and how they slowly start to look like an artefact from the Titanic (without wanting to sound too rude myself lol). I just can't get into that whole thing.
These are funky watches but way too expensive for bronze. I like wearing all types of watches. I would wear the blue, but bright red or bright orange would look way better.
Bronze looks good NEW and then you wear it....
Psst... it's in steel now
I like the 65 line but these are abit to feminine for my liking.
Very dainty
Fair review. Thanks. This watch stands out but it seems like a woman's watch all day long to me.
Oris would've been really smart to release these in two-tone steel and rose gold - lots of unisex appeal there. I can see a lot of people thinking these look great in a jewelers window, then they get them home and a few months later they are an ugly brown color and stink. Bronze smells. No thanks. I wish the bronze fad would die already.
Great looking watches……but more on the feminine side..
For 2 grand this is a pass. 500 to 1k for sure would consider it but more then that no thanks
Lmao your valuation seems pretty off too for an swiss made oris watch with history and bold design. It doesnt command 2k for sure, but good luck getting this kind of quality elsewhere with 500-1k budget. You might be able to find one, but not with a brand that is close to Oris’s level.
Eehhmm... no. Not for me. Not at all
Like Oris, but this is just hideous! I wouldn't wear it even if someone just gave it to me!!
Nah , don't like it . Sorry
Youre way off. Its ugly.
