Stepping up in Oris's range
The original model dates to 1965, and Oris revived it a decade ago as the Divers Sixty-Five before reworking it entirely for its 60th anniversary in 2024 — renaming it the Divers Date and doubling the water resistance to 200m in the process. The case settled at 39mm, splitting the difference between the outgoing 40mm and 38mm variants, and came down to 12.1mm thick, which is genuinely slim for a rated diver and allows it to pass under a cuff without the usual bulk. At 46.5mm lug-to-lug the proportions are disciplined, and shorter lugs keep the vintage character intact without the watch sitting proud of the wrist. The unidirectional bezel is narrower than its predecessor, which opens up the dial rather than crowding it, and the black ceramic insert reads cleanly against the black dial in flat light. The Calibre 733 carries Oris's signature red rotor, now visible through an exhibition caseback — a detail that works better in the hand than on paper, particularly given the blue glow the Super-LumiNova produces in the dark. The watch ships with both the steel bracelet and a rubber Tropic-style strap on a quick-change system, which means the character of the watch can shift without tools.

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 200m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational 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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
19mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
