Only during the quartz crisis did the brand temporarily succumb to pressure and switch to quartz. In the 1950s, this had included various automatic movements using the calibres 601 and 605. Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 Back to the manufactureīy 1981, the horology house, founded back in 1904 in Hölstein near Basel, had developed around 280 of its own calibres.

However, it is well worth noting that this is by no means the first time that Oris has produced a movement in-house. The new Aquis Date Calibre 400 is even available for less than 3,000 Euros, when purchased with the rubber strap. To answer the former question: in keeping with the company motto of providing high quality at a reasonable price. To answer the latter question, it is the icon of modern diving watches – at least for die-hard Oris fans – the aptly named and ever-popular Aquis. It is an eye-catcher and you will always have to look at the dial because it is so wonderfully designed.People seemed particularly keen to predict which price segment Oris was likely to fall into with the new calibre, and also, to guess which watch would the calibre first be featured? Now, at last, the secret is out. An absolute must for every watch fan and those who can afford it. You can be assured that there is not much that can harm this watch and its inner mechanics. The watch is simply very sturdy and water resistant and that can be very helpful in some situations. The word diver's watch might be a bit confusing, but of course you don't have to be a diver to look good with this watch. It is a gem of a watch that does not have to hide behind other models in the same price range. But it's far too beautiful and it's far too enjoyable to own it yourself and know that you can have something of such high quality on your wrist that you don't want to or would want to sell it. Then you have your investment right on your wrist and you can resell it if necessary. Anyone who wants to withdraw their money from the bank and invest in a watch can do so with peace of mind with the Oris Aquis.
