Initially gaining popularity for their Big Crown pilot watches and an 8-day power reserve alarm clock, they moved into dive watches in 1965. The Oris AquisProįor anyone unfamiliar, Oris is an independent Swiss watchmaking house from Hölstein that have been steadily making watches since 1904. We are going to take it on a few dives to see how it fares. The Oris AquisPro Date Calibre 400 falls firmly into that latter camp.
Others, still, strive to bring the function of the dive watch into the 21st century with high tech materials and engineering and keep it relevant as a necessary tool of the modern scuba diver. From the boardroom to the beach and all that. Some attempt to be that one single watch, straddling the line between toolish utility and stylish dressiness.
Some are meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia, for the days of yore when a dive watch, a single tank, and a thirst for adventure was all you needed.
Dive watches today come in all shapes and sizes, each trying to find its place in a very crowded market.
