Although this does somewhat impede the Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400’s utility as a dive watch, this change both effectively sets the new model apart from its non-Calibre 400 equipped counterparts in images and provides solid utility for day-to-day use. Rather than using a traditional dive scale, Oris instead opts for a simple graphic 12-hour scale in a light, airy modern typeface.

The line’s familiar long unchamfered tapering lugs, skin diver-style unguarded pillbox crown, and narrow coin edge bezel are all present and accounted for here, but the brand changes the formula slightly with a new bi-directional aluminum bezel insert. With an impressive in-house movement and a classically versatile take on the series’ core cues, the new Oris Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400 elevates the brand’s beloved diver line with a newly refined execution.Īt 40mm-wide, the stainless steel case of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five 12H Calibre 400 broadly follows the pattern laid down by the rest of the Divers Sixty-Five family. As part of its novelties for Geneva Watch Days 2022, the brand has announced its first-ever standard-production Calibre 400-powered Divers Sixty-Five option, complete with a clean monochrome look and a handful of unique visual cues. The independent brand has naturally been eager to install this high-performance, ultra-reliable powerplant into as many of its product lines as possible, but curiously, the in-house movement has yet to find its way into a regular-production variant of Oris’s wildly popular Divers Sixty-Five series of vintage-style dive watches - until now. Since its introduction in late 2020, the Calibre 400 series of in-house automatic movements has quickly become the flagship movement option for Oris.
