Stepping up in Oris's range
Launched at Geneva Watch Days 2022, this is one of three Aquis Date models Oris introduced together, each carrying a mother-of-pearl dial in a different natural colour — Blush Pink, Aegean Blue, Seafoam Green. The intention was clear: a full-specification diver with a dial that behaves more like a gemstone than an instrument face. At 36.5mm the watch sits at the smaller end of the Aquis range, which makes it comfortable on a range of wrists without reading as a diminutive watch. The blush pink mother-of-pearl shifts in angled light in a way no painted dial can replicate, and the bold white markers ensure legibility isn't sacrificed to that effect. Beneath it, the exhibition caseback reveals the red oscillating rotor that has been an Oris signature across the range. The bracelet mixes brushed and polished surfaces in a way that carries the dial's quality through to the wrist rather than leaving it stranded above a plain satin finish.

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.
