Got this exact model, but with the dark green dial. Absolutely love it.
I got the Bico version with the blue dial, love it as well. When the sun shines on our dials, the deep color is so beautiful.
I bought this watch ⌚ year ago. Such a pretty piece. Colors tie up beautifully, movement and bracelet better quality than the seiko. The only fail with the watch is the lume, hands ok pips meh. But the domed sapphire crystal, dial and overall proportions are spot on. The bezel action on my seiko Willard at 1300 euros is the same as my 300 prospex solar chrono, which inwas surprised by. I'm not so impressed with the seikos bezel action, average but ok. I'd say bezel action is subjective ?.... as no back play on the oris bezel so can't really grumble..not that you'll really dive in it. Its a dress diver, as you mention if you want a oris diver to beat. Then an oris aquis, solid watch.
Can you share the reference number? The ones I'm finding don't seem to have the blue tint. Thank you
Hoping Seiko does the Willard with this colourway. Love the touch of bronze on the bezel.
Good looking watch but in my opinion the reissue of Seiko 62 MAS is a better watch and if I need to choose between them, I prefer Seiko. Thanks for another great video.
Fair enough!
I'm barely awake, so This will be a boring response. Great episode, i love Oris, have considered buying a Diver 65 for a while, but considering all the color options it prevented me from making a decision. I kinda love the one with the crazy 60's lume patch numbers, but how long would I love it? I bet not long. Great job polishing that bracelet!! maybe you'll show us how you do that one day. Thumbs UP.
Thanks for sharing! Yes the Deauville dial is interesting to me as well but in the end prefer the regular indices.
Love my 62mas but looking at a diver 65 for a special occasion. Both are so beautiful 😍
Yes they are! I can't wait to pick up a 38mm diver 65!
I love this version of the Divers 65! The bracelet is very comfortable!
I had the choice of buying this or the Pointer Date 80th Anniversary edition at my AD and I went with the Big Crown instead. And while absolutely love my Big Crown, I find myself wishing I had went with this one instead. Beautiful piece, congrats!
You will want the divers 65 and aquis aswell as your big crown soon enough. But good that you got the big crown first as the aquis has the cal 400 and the 65 is getting it soon.
Vs Vulcain nautique?
Unfortunately, the best version of this watch was a limited release called the Oris Divers 65 Movember edition. Fortunately, I was able to get one from my local AD 3 years ago. I might be biased but IMO nothing has come close to it in terms of wow factor except for maybe the Divers 65 BICO.
Thanks for the review! This made me buy a steel bracelet for my watch.
yes the movember edition is the one I truly wanted! But was tough to get and so expensive.
@@EscapementWatch Very expensive. It was already overpriced to begin with as a special edition and then I paid a few more for the bracelet.
I agree when you said that for the specs this model is overpriced but in the watch's defense you can't really put a price on its charm and looks.
"Buy the watch, not the specs" is what i tell myself whenever i think about it. lol
Agreed. I always mention to people a watch is much more than its specs. It's usually from Swiss watch fans bashing a higher price SEIKO and they always say you can get a Swiss watch for that price. If you care only about specs and value stick to micro brands and get all the specs in the world for a couple 100
great watch! thanks for the review. In the video you mentioned that the watch has been discontinued, but I couldn't find any information about it online... would you mind telling us where did you get that information from? Thank you.
Only because I could not see it on the oris website this exact model.
@@EscapementWatch oh I see, yes you are right I also noticed that on their website. keep it up, thanks!
I have this exact watch with the Oris tropic style black rubber strap, and compared to the steel bracelet the watch came with originally, the black rubber strap complements the dial MUCH better. The steel bracelet does nothing to complement the dial, which is the single most stunning part of this watch.
Oris used to make high quality pin pallet movements
Who’s voice is that in the background
Still a lot of cash ($1500) for a SW200-2 $175-200 movement...
You'll find at this price point most Swiss watches do use the base ETA/Selita - both of those movements, by comparison, are better than the 6R35 in the Seiko - which is a really unstable movement - I have watches with all of these movements and the Seiko surprised me the most - unless wound up most of the time, it is quite inaccurate, performing with more variation than either of the Swiss movements. It's Seiko that needs to up their game, putting a $50 movement in a 1300 or so watch. Most of the Selitas/ETAs watches I have at this level, seem to perform around +6 a day. The 6R35 in the Willard, I took off for 7 hours overnight and it gained 15 seconds. Checked on atomic sync G shock and timeographer.
@@Televisiontechnology Very Solid points. I too tried the Miyota 9039 and initially impressed me... but 2 weeks later started being 45 seconds ahead per day...! Thanks!
But the rest of the watch and bracelet I think justifies this - rose gold indices, the bronze detailing on the bezel, clasp good - so I think much of the cost is the watch construction - but a pretty base Swiss movement. But cheap to service and keeps good time.
@@Televisiontechnology Agreed! The bronze bezel, the Classic dial and the double sapphire dome make it exquisite. I just wished for a refinement with a clear back case showcasing the movement and the bronze middle links would have been perfect.
I'm comparing the Tissot Heritage 1948 Chronograph with a 2894-2 and fabulous Milano bracelet and super classic engraving for less than a $1000... My thoughts: Oris took the path of least resistance playing it safe while capitalizing on their reputation.
@@stylif6651 I hear what you are saying - I did quite well on the purchase costs, think I paid around €1300 on last years 'black friday' - I think as we are dealing with a 'heritage' watch, exhibition case backs, not really order of the day - not something that troubles me. I did end up buying a black bay 58 too (the original black/guilt version) - which was set to replace the Oris - as all the watch fans rave over it. It's a great watch, clearly is more solid and a higher spec than the Oris - but strangely enough, put them side by side and on the wrist and the Oris still feels quite unique - it's a lighter watch, more dress diver, than diver diver!! the domed sapphire is nicer than the crystal on the BB. I think to summarise, the Oris isn't perfect (lume much better on BB) - but there's something about it - very well proportioned and everything ties in well, I just can't bring myself to sell it...Perhaps Oris did play it safe - but just speaking from personal taste, I find it one of the prettiest, most cohesive designs out there and I do have quite a few other decent watches - beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;-) I don't have a Longines in the collection presently - the heritage range does look interesting..
Quick question. Which watch you prefer. The green dialed Longines Spirit or the Oris 65 green with brown and black bezel?
Green spirit over the green 65
I absolutely love this watch but I'm afraid it will wear too big on my 6.25" wrist, and I don't like the 36mm version because I think the date window at the 3, as well as the oddly shaped cut-out and white date wheel ruin the clean aesthetic that you get with the 40mm version. What to do, lol.
I did research and found out that they kept the shape of the date cut out exactly like is found on the vintage watch. For that reason I love the funny shaped date window.
10 Bar on a diver for almost 3K CAN$. That's a showboat ..get a Yema.
Yema suck. I have owned many. Not at same level. Not even close
What is the weight of the SPB149 on the bracelet in grams?
I forgot. But check out my 149 full review the video has chapters one is labelled weight.
if you had to choose this watch and aquaracer calibre 5, which one would you recommend
The Oris
How is the Oris lume in real life? I wear my watches when I sleep. Can you read the time in the middle of the night?
It's kind of weak so I'm going to say you won't be able to see it unless you put it really close up to your face
What do you think of this exact watch in 40mm, for a 7.5inch wrist?
It should wear nicely! Larger dial and relatively flat lugs.
Please please please do the comparo between the SPB149 and the Sixty-Five Bronze! I love both and currently have the Seiko but am considering the Oris.
i did a battle between them. check the channel out. it came out before this video. lol
@@EscapementWatch Oh I missed that one. Thanks!
What did you use to rebrush the band links??
800 grit sand paper
Good review of one of my favorite watches. Wasn’t aware this Oris 65 is no longer in production.
its still in production just this exact version with bronze bezel only isnt. you can get it now with full bronze bezel and insert and bronze links in bracelet as of today.
How would you remove patina from the bezel without harming the aluminum insert? Any recommendations?
remove the insert first. thats what I did.
Rub lemon juice on it. Will remove patina but not harm the bezel insert
How do you “re-brush” a watch bracelet?
some abrasive like sand paper and a steady hand.
just purchased this watch on the stainless bracelet. Just wondering if its screw link or if its pin and collar to size?
Screw links here. fine tip .8mm if I remember correctly
Pin collar
@@Porschenut13my diver 65 and aquis are both screws. No pin and collar
Nice review, thank you. I tried on the Oris 65. Seemed too light, not enough wrist presence, the bracelet taper is shocking. I wanted to love it because the blue dial is drop dead gorgeous, it just wasn't for me. I can see how others would love it, though
I'm a big fan of how light it is! it's very comfortable for all Day wear. Almost forget it's on it's that comfortable. but I understand a lot of people like a heavy weight on their wrist they feel like it's more solid. Because I used to be the same but now I'm transitioning to preferring lighter over heavier watches.
Hi guys can you help me how to avail this oris from philippines tanx
When’s the Battle
its done. check the other vids on the channel
Great vid as always. Just not a fan of the fake patina other wise a nice design. Also a bit expensive for a selita. The lume is shocking for a diver too.
Right on
It's more a dress diver - too pretty to dive in. Better the Oris Aquis to dive in ;-) The lume is ok on the hands, but rest of it as you say is meh - about the only flaw I can find with the watch (I own as well as Seikos). Most Swiss models at this price have these movements. What I find odd, is people mentioning the movements in this - but the movement in the Seiko is worse, considerably - I own a Willard with the same 6R35 movement and it's quite variable accuracy wise if not fully wound, worse than any of the base Selitas or ETAs. That's before I mention the quite poor bracelet quality of the Seiko strap - it looks ok in the flesh, but my Steinart Ocean diver at €390 has a much better bracelet - for €1000 odd less. Seiko, looks good, but quality for price, needs upping.
@@Televisiontechnology Selita is definitely better than the comparable Seiko 6r movements I agree with you but at the price of this oris I'd want an ETA at the least. Also the Seiko is nearly half the price (in Australia at least).
@@MarcraM82 In Spain - I paid about €1300 for the Oris, on a black friday deal, which is about the same in Europe as the Seiko - so from my point was looking at them from the view of the same price point. I thought the Selita was at base an ETA anyway? Obviously where you are if the Oris is double the price, then it's a different comparison price wise. I've had 3 Oris's most of them seem to be about +6 per day, which is ok at this price point. At least you can get them service quite reasonably - €90 locally for a standard Swiss movement service
@@Televisiontechnology yes that's cheap, the Oris in Australia sells for about 2,100 Euro. Selita is an ETA clone, very similar but in my experience my ETAs have less positional variance than my selitas. Maybe coincidence but I've found ETAs more accurate.
The movement is a big let down for an otherwise great watch. Standard grade SW200 is not good enough anymore. A +/- 30 seconds/day accuracy tolerance is unacceptable. Should be elabore grade at least. You might get lucky with the accuracy but it's a gamble. You could easy get a watch losing 30 seconds a day and you're out of luck. Oris would have no legal obligation to regulate it.
I've owned 3 Oris's - 2 I currently have, the 65 Bronze Bezel on the review and a 39mm Aquis - both of them perform around + 6 per day (checked on the timeographer and the atomic sync G shock). On the old one, which was rarely worn worst I ever saw was +12. The base Selita / ETAs are a damn site more stable than the 6R35 in the €1300 Seikos - I took my willard off overnight and gained 15 seconds! If I wear it or put it on the watch winder its fine, but if not fully wound it's all over the place. I think at the €1000-€1500 mark ETA/Selita are fine - I have a few other watches with these base movements - and never seen any of them lose 30 seconds or anywhere near it in a day.
Battle!
Already done check out the channel
@@EscapementWatch I see now! Uploaded 3 weeks ago... I'll just go have a look.
Thanks for the videos, I like your laid back style.
Love your no nonsense style of reviews ....and the fact that your also a seiko fanboy ... Like me 😜 doesn't hurt
Love that dome sapphire crystal, look very similar to the devil diver reissued crystal. It's such a shame that the bezel doesn't align properly, especially for a $2.5K watch
i took it off and re-glued it. in my battle video oris vs seiko it is aligned now.
Appreciate your meticulous analysis of the watch specifications. I was wondering would the 40 mm suit an individual with a 6.35 inch wrist or would the lugs overhang ?
it will fit but the watch sits very flat so if you have a rounder shape it might have a gap between lugs and wrist.
i feel you bro. i have small wrist too. So hard nowadays to find one that suits.
