Oris Divers Sixty-Five 40mm Men Watch
Ref. 01 400 7772 4054-07 8 20 18
Sits in Oris’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Oris watches we list, which start at £1,400.
Price range £1,400 to £5,350 across 50 Oris watches in stock.The Divers Sixty-Five traces its shape to Oris's first diver's watch from 1965, but this reference marks two firsts at once: Calibre 400 appearing inside a Sixty-Five for the first time, and a 12-hour bi-directional bezel replacing the standard unidirectional dive ring. That bezel is the detail that changes the watch's character — tracking a second time zone or timing extended events, it recalls the military tool watches of the same decade the original was born into. Calibre 400 is an entirely in-house movement, and the engineering behind it is worth understanding. The silicon escapement ignores magnetic fields entirely, and with 30 components made from non-ferrous or non-magnetic alloys the whole movement resists up to 2,250 Gauss — considerably beyond daily electronic exposure. Accuracy is rated at -3/+5 seconds per day, tighter than COSC requires, with a recommended service interval of ten years and a matched warranty when registered. The twin barrels give a 120-hour reserve, so the power reserve indicator on the dial is genuinely useful rather than decorative. Despite 12.8mm of case height the watch wears as though it were two millimetres thinner — the domed crystal carries most of that measurement, and the overall silhouette reads as flatter than the figures suggest. The see-through caseback lets the movement do its own talking.

Learn more about Oris
Paul Cattin and Georges Christian took over an empty factory in Hölstein in 1904 and named the company after a nearby gorge. It stayed independent, and stayed in that valley, for its entire history.
Oris built its reputation on volume mechanical watches made properly. By the 1960s it was among the largest Swiss employers in the sector, producing hundreds of thousands of movements a year. Its most curious historical footnote is regulatory: Swiss law restricted the number of jewels a watch could contain under certain classifications, and Oris fought a decade-long legal battle to be permitted to fit lever escapements — winning in 1968.
The quartz crisis nearly ended it. The company was bought out of the ASUAG conglomerate in 1982 by two managers, Rolf Portmann and Ulrich Herzog, who took it back to mechanical watches exclusively at precisely the moment the rest of the industry was abandoning them.
That independence remains the point. Oris is one of the few Swiss houses of any scale with no group ownership, and it competes on value rather than prestige — dive watches, pilot's watches, and the Big Crown line descended from its 1938 pointer calendar. The house developed its own Calibre 400 family from 2020, offering five-day power reserves and ten-year service intervals at prices well below the norm for in-house movements.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedCheapest place to buy
