Great video and perspective, appreciate it Adrian! Also, thank you for immediately noting this as a promotion - refreshing in this industry.

Great video as always! But small detail: it's not something that was aesthetically reworked top to bottom; there's an Arabic- number retro version already! They just changed the colors to these warmer tones and worked in the strap from the Bico Sixty-Five as well!
@erran5011 ай бұрын
I was gonna mention the same. The arabic numeral version was actually the original divers 65. Came out a year or two before the non-numerical version, if I'm not mistaken. Absolutely love this version though but would have preferred it on a rubber strap
@mrgee00711 ай бұрын
Exactly, I have the Deauville dial version, and they also released the blue/black version. Nothing new, just a colour change, nice colour though.

I agree, I have hesitated to buy this one actually in 2020... Regarding the price, I must say that it is ridiculous. The case does not seem improved, as well as the bracelet. So you get a movement upgrade for 3000 USD extra. Wtf. If it was with gold and not bronze, I would say that it is acceptable but here ... not at all.

A stunning example to be sure Adrian. A few years ago, I ran across it's black dial steel-only older brother with those same lovely cream colored arabics and was amazed at the price. Needless to say, I immediately bought it. A stunning piece in any color but this special edition from Collective is on another level. Cheers!

@Adrian Barker I am pleased with what Oris have been producing in recent years propelled by their Caliber 400 movement which the current models have the improved caliber of the 5 day/120 hours power reserve. Having the ProPilot X in grey is quite stealthy and well designed as well as built. It is good to see an affordable independent Swiss brand make strides and the 10 year warranty and service interval recommendation is a testimony of how they are standing behind their watches. I hope they continue on the current path in 2024.

Love the look of it, but I'd be concerned having a bronze middle link running through the bracelet. Isn't bronze a really soft material, especially compared to steel? How will the bronze section look in two years versus the steel? Is it a quick release bracelet? It should be for $4,500. I could see this watch looking awesome on a few straps. With that said, why not just offer this watch on a strap?

Oris upped their pricing significantly along with new movement. However the fit and finish is still the same as with the sellita models. I think if they want to really compete in this new price segment they also have to step up their game in terms of finishing. If not, then I'd rather take a sellita version at a much lower price.
