I love Oris, they just have that old world look, simple, straight forward.

[@Wynner3]

I'm not quite sure I want to spend over $2000 on a watch yet, but when I am, then this will be on my list. For now though, I will continue to wear my Orient Kamasu w/red dial. It has quickly become one of my favorite watches.

[@harryscarry6064]

I have that Kamasu too. Beautiful. Would love that oris but they might have to shift the decimal point one step to the left. Ha

[@KabobHope]

I got my red Kamasu yesterday and am really loving it. I had the red Kanno and I liked the hands and bezel on that more, but the size of the Kamasu is a better choice for me and I have a new favorite.

[@redstone5149]

I cracked my timex open and spray painted the dial red. I made the hour and second marks with white-out. Looks almost as good as this Oris. Cost me $3.29.

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

Get a steinhart then very good quality for the price they ask for. :)

[@carlcampbell6827]

Wynner3 - $2000 is actually a good deal for a high quality classic watch. Refrain from pissing money away on a whole bunch of generic, mediocre and poor quality watches. Put put your money toward one excellent watch instead. The satisfaction, value and service you get will be the proof of the pudding.

[@danpaterson244]

The depth of that red dial is incredible 🥧🥧🥧. Great choice on the bezel to set it off too.

[@BootsWalken]

Man, what a great pick from the Oris collection to review. I don't think this one will be on my list, but seeing that stunning dial was such a treat. I'm not sure if anyone will get the reference, but the dial reminds me of the old southern soft drink Cheerwine.

[@James2001]

Cheerwine has been my favorite soft drink since I was a kid

[@Aurora-sz1bc]

To give an idea of how amazing this watch design is, I don't even like the color red at all, but found this watch to be the most strikingly beautiful watch in the entire boutique that had Omegas, Tissot's, etc. You have to see this in person.

[@tyarnold4088]

I haven't seen it in person, but plan on getting one several months down the road. Is the red brighter or darker in person?

[@Aurora-sz1bc]

@@tyarnold4088 It depends entirely on the lighting. In environments with no bright light sources, the dial appears almost black. In the sun, you see very bright, thin, beautiful ribbons of red. If you're in a room with several bright lights on the ceiling, then a lot will go on with different intensities of red. Because the dial changes character so much, I never get bored of looking at it. I hope you enjoy yours!

[@johnbonanni621]

I love Oris watches. I have 4 and getting a 5th one.

[@mikebutler3846]

I have one (F1 Williams) but need another one or two.

[@mmadchef808]

I have three going for fourth. The breadth and scope of their offerings along with a consistently unique approach to design is very impressive. Hope to make it to Holstein. Yes I have drank the kool aid. Lol

[@carlcampbell6827]

John Bonanni - I think those Oris watches you purchased will be worthy investments; the prices will probably get out of reach for many before too long.

[@carlcampbell6827]

@@mikebutler3846 - I will throw my 2 bucks in and say to you and everyone else. Beware of buying big oversized watches; in my opinion they will fall out of fashion before too long and will become white elephants (soft values).

[@mmadchef808]

@Carl Campbell While I agree with your sentiment to an extent, the reality is that there are plenty of us that cannot wear 38-39mm watches. They are simply too small and look ridiculous. A 43mm watch can fit a lot of wrists! A modern sub is 41mm and wears much larger than the numbers would imply. I think we all know how popular and collectible that is!

[@matiasferrer6400]

They should have done raised letters on the "ORIS" as supposed to an applique. Other than that it's a fine time piece. Thnx for the review.

[@GuyMrIncognito]

I own three Oris watches including an Aquis. They are just great! They really compete with watches twice the price. My divers 65 gets way more wrist time than my speedy for instance.

[@craig2100]

Absolutely stunning watch. I love the color. Wish we would see more red dials.

[@hunterphan5506]

Beautiful. I really like this line from Oris. This cherry red is very well done.

[@Smooth__JB]

Question...if you had to pick between the Oris Aquis Date Red Cherry Dial Men's Watch or the RADO Captain Cook Automatic Stainless Steel Red Dial Men's Watch ...which one would you pick?

[@tyarnold4088]

Those are the 2 I'm choosing between. The captain Cook is sweet.

[@n1968m]

I’ve just purchased the same watch. It’s near enough twice what I’ve ever spent on a watch before. I was looking at the Longines Hydroconquest and the Rado Captain Cook both of which come in either side of this price wise (in the UK anyway). This is the one of the three that really wowed me. Stunning watch.

[@Faiat]

That's the nice looking red watch IMO so far. I love the bezel not using the same color of the dial, no color at all in fact! Man, I wish those watches had a better price here in Brazil, because it's a expensive as hell! Love the review man, congrats!

[@ryanjofre]

Gorgeous. The bezel looks as good as anything from Rolex. Oris is criminally undervalued.

[@brianmsahin]

I think someone in Oris saw the Orient Kamasu red dial watch and said "Let's do that!" It's a very nice looking watch but a watch should have easy strap options to give it the flexibility for different occasions. I generally stay away from integrated bracelets. It's about $500 too expensive though.

[@rostokmcspoons]

I got a new job four years ago, and I thought I might treat myself to a new watch... an Aquis (blue dial) was my top choice for a decent new one. Well, I tried it on, it was just a tiny bit too chunky on my 7.25" wrist. It was the height that killed it really. Not ideal for a business suit+shirt However, I was impressed with the looks and it really got me into watches again. And this cherry dial does look fantastic!

[@vodkawhiskeyrum]

Stunning. Thinking about picking this up! Red dials are never done well and this is the exception that proves the rule

[@rebornie]

One of my favorite brands. I own the Oris Aquis Date green dial. Love it.

[@keeswekker3138]

Just bought this watch i love it so much! Little present for myself haha

[@mleegolden]

Don't mind the signage, but an applied logo would be nice at this pricepoint.

[@marccanales2630]

I need this color in my life!! I NEED IT!! it's gorgoeus overall!!

[@gregalonzo747]

Beautiful timepiece. I have no problem with the integrated bracelet. I would also pick up the rubber strap that Oris offers.

[@scottym.9077]

I love a dial with great light play. I acquired a Formex Essence 43 in green recently, and I love the way the light interacts with the dial. This cherry red dial is equally stunning. Strongly considering picking this watch up to fill the diver slot in my collection.

[@theopulentlife889]

Lovely watch, I wish they made it with their in house movement and a dark cherry ceramic bezel, that would be awesome

[@ThiHaGadgets]

At least with Cal 400, right? Price will be 1K higher? haha.

[@adityamookerjee.]

This particular watch looks way much better on the wrist than off it. Previously, I didn't have anything to say about the Aquis. It looked more of an effort to manufacture, but less of what came out of it. It looks much better than a Rolex on the wrist, very positively and appropriately 'blingy'. It seems that the Rolex isn't supposed to look outstanding. This is my personal opinion. My favourite watch brands are the Grand Seiko and Oris, but the Omega comes a close third.

[@hobermallow5841]

I love the sound of this company’s name, and I also love how the name looks on the watch. Don’t own one and probably never will just because I don’t spend too much on watches.

[@Wolfpacker]

I watched this video 2-3 nights ago when I ran across your Oris review. I was looking for a while for a red dialed watch. Had decided on getting a seiko SRP853. Saw your video and loved the look. But had never considered spending that much on a watch, even though I had the means to by about any moderate Omega, Tudor, etc anytime I want. So I go to my local jeweler to get my mom a 'Thanks for 48 years' Cartier Tank solo. They didn't have it but next to the Longines I was looking at instead was the Cherry Red Oris. I asked to see it and fell in love. It now resides in my collection. Thanks for the great review! I fell in love right there and had to have it! ;-) Plus they gave me a great deal to buy it and the Longines. A video doesn't do justice the sunburst on this dial and the depth.

[@Justsome_Randomdude]

I will always own an Oris watch. Love their watches.

[@perlundquist6938]

Beautiful watch. Oris is one of my favorite brands. I will definitely add this one to my collection.

[@carlcampbell6827]

Per Ludquist - Fine watches are not high on my priority list nowadays; however in my opinion now is the time to buy Oris and Bell and Ross before they become too expensive; US dollar value is going in the toilet.

[@gav_bray]

Jory, Great review. And might I add, you can never have enough divers. My favourite watch in my collection is the Aquis Clean Ocean. Much Love 💜💜💜

[@alexp3572]

For me Oris and Longines is the same as an Omega and Rolex in quality-design-history but 1/3 or 1/5 of the price.

[@Not-a-bot222]

Longines 95% of the time misses the mark just so slightly. Be it lug to lug distance, diameter. Weird crown or something which drives me nuts. Oris knocks it out of the park

[@smellmyballs2693]

I had an Oris Aquis back in 2019 and had an Omega Seamaster 300 at the same time. The bezel on the Omega actually felt cheaper than the Oris. But my Seamaster was a 2019 production so it didn’t have the wave dial with the updated bezel

[@haotian87]

Omega and Rolex all make their own movements… where Longines and Oris both use cheap Sellita and ETA movements.

Hi I have the green Hangang special edition, but this cherry is so georgious. I’m speechless. Really nice red dial are not common, JLC reverso, a few Seiko and this one. After the green for every watch, starting from the hulk, the red could be the next hipe color. Very nice review, thanks

[@ritethumstik]

I absolutely adore Oris, but I would love to see more in-house from them. I trust the Sellita SW200 wholeheartedly, but 2300 for it is steep, when I see brands like Christopher Ward offering great design with double the water resistance for less than half the price. All that said, I'll absolutely own a couple Oris one day! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new Oris Calibre 400 Jory!

[@michaelbest5505]

They’re getting there. This is a company that’s been moving in the right direction for decades.

[@the_once-and-future_king.]

Yeah buy how many people actually need 600m water resistance? And if they do I doubt they'd be rocking an Oris or a CW.

[@James2001]

Yes, many of Oris' offerings are way overpriced for what they are. No way I'm dropping $2300 on an Aquis, I don't care how sexy the dial is.

[@michaelbest5505]

@@James2001 It's true, their prices have gotten a bit steeper than where they were 10 years ago. But, if those price enable them to produce their own movements like the calibre 110 or the new 400, I'm for it.

Although I am not a fan of red dials, that is one fine looking watch. I love how it is understated, yet; not to an extreme. Very cool watch!

[@chrisherb3300]

Very nice looking! That dial color reminds me of the Orient Kamasu, love that sunburst red though I'm normally not a fan of red or other bright signal colors. That silver bezel suits it even better than the black one on the Kamasu, my new design favorite!

Beautiful watch that's why I own me one ... Just not this particular model... But I love my ORIS..

[@simsalb]

I 💕my Oris Aquis Clean Ocean. The blue sunburst dial is to die for, like diving into the Blue Lagoon. The Aquis is as you correctly surmise a cross between a pure tool and a design icon of jewellery. I have an itch for a red dial and I've noticed a number of mainstream and micro brands are getting on that bandwagon. Yours was the 2nd review I saw today with a red color. However, as I already have an Aquis I guess I'll pass on this one!

[@anteron4721]

Stunning watch! Just placed an order on mine, nice variety next to my 2 seikos.

[@nikbeale4624]

Waiting for my delivery, ordered as soon as I saw it. I've been looking for a decent red dial for ages. Only concern is the 41.5mm size and really hoping a 43.5 with red isn't released later. Love the Oris blue and green dials and this looks a peach too.

[@evanspivack2714]

Really nice! The dial color is beautiful, and works great with that bezel. The bracelet is unique and a nice change from the ordinary. Size is perfect, as opposed to some other Oris offerings. I do think that the case design is a swing and miss, though...to me, it appears too angular, with an almost "industrial" look. Personally, I'd have liked to see something a bit softer and more organic. Would probably be a more realistic option for many people at a lower price point as well. Thank you for a nice review!

[@gambini1598]

@@dsdf_fdp1858 Hey man :-) Wow. it's almost a year. Yeah, I am kinda one watch guy, so I didn't get a new one or anything. My Aquis is on my wrist just right now as always. And yes I do sleep with them all the time, but I understand, that there might be a risk doing that, you might bump into something at night or so... But generally speaking, I personally don't care.They are not 10K or more of a watch. I would probably not do that with some really expensive watch. But that little Aquis is with me almost all the time. They are really, really, really nice beater to me. It reminds me they will need to go for annual service in few months. The only think I do not do with them is to take a bath or shower. But before vacation, I take them for pressure testing to swim in the ocean or pool. Enjoy your Aquis, They are simply great watches.

Congratz on the 160K subs!! I'm one of the watch freaks who "needs" a red dial in my arsenal 😉 This one's $2,900 CAD (before taxes, shipping and import/duty fees) so it's a little too rich for my taste. However, I know you already reviewed "Islander" watches from Long Island Watche (Marc Frankel's creations). First off, you were sent the ISL-01 a while back with the 12 hrs markings on the bezel BUT I suggest you see the ISL-02 with the "real" dive bezel with minute markings ... I digress ... Secondly, all that to say; the ISL-66, "Islander Red Automatic Dive Watch" with the luminous ceramic bezel will most certainly scratch my "red-dial itch" at only $299 USD (before taxes and shipping).
