ORIS Watches: The Power Trio You Should Be Aware Of

[@mikkoritala8932]

One thing that deserves mentioning is that the Aquis has a diver extension in the clasp. It is very well executed and sturdy, but so well hidden that even many owners are unaware it's there!

[@marktierney2986]

Just found the dive extension after owning the watch for over 2 year’!

[@JLchevz]

@@marktierney2986 lmao, just pull the bracelet and voila

[@augustinf]

Lol it took me maybe a couple of month to realize it on mine

[@brois841]

WOAH!!! Never knew this existed... have owned the watch for years!

[@craigriley9892]

That skeleton oris will be mine one day. 10 day power reserve! Amazing. Well done all around

[@djenob1]

I’ve purchased mine yesterday, green dial aquis. Very excited.......

[@1517the_year]

Oris is so unique. Honestly 3 or 4 of their watches suit me to the ground and I’d honestly rather no other watches in the world. You can probably tell how much I like this brand lol.

[@mikebutler3846]

Nathan Mawhinney My wife gave me an Oris F1 Williams for Valentines Day last year! That’s true love!

[@1517the_year]

Mike Butler you lucky man! Definitely a keeper hahahaha

[@ironmic9244]

I have 2 myself. The Rectangular complication. It has a rarely seen moonphase and GMT. The other is the BC3 Advanced date in all black. Love 'em. I can still spend time staring at the face of the Rectangular complication. Oris has always had a great tradition, and an integral part of that tradition is to make a watch affordable. I love the Calibre 110+ that have come out. I also love that Oris is independent..

[@jeremyrice3719]

Mike Butler I love that watch - very underrated

[@Hornsvinet]

You are not alone bro :)

[@Jan-md4bf]

Fyi: A Bronze caseback would lead to skin irritation for most people, that's why all Bronze watches I know/own have a different caseback.

[@kimwjustice]

You're right. Also, I've heard that when a bronze caseback starts to age and patina, it can leave green stains on your skin which is not a pleasant sight. Additionally, as bronze ages, bronze parts can bond to each other, which would make removing a bronze caseback for service almost impossible.

[@Jan-md4bf]

@@kimwjustice what you're referring to is probably the reaction of the copper-containing bronze when in contact with a higher concentration of chlorides (from salt water) BEFORE the dark brown oxidized patina has formed. Anyway, the green skin irritations have never happened to me (and I like Bronze watches). But it also depends on the co-elements in your alloy, but now I'm starting to ramble... 😅

[@seanengel3647]

@@Jan-md4bf great comments guys. For me what begs the question is why it would be useful for case material if it oxidizes so readily?

[@Jan-md4bf]

@@seanengel3647 in the case of Bronze, the then oxidized top layer is actually very corrosion resistant, which made it quite favorable to other materials in the marine sector at that time. I myself love the patina of Bronze, as it is less flashy than the polished bronze and bears a unique pattern.

[@seanengel3647]

@@Jan-md4bf got it. Very interesting!

[@hurtadomh]

Jenni, thank you for all your time, effort, knowledge, and passion you put into your channel, there's a lot of us who truly appreciate it.

[@DancingSpacePotato]

Only recently I’ve been getting into watches. It’s the same process I did with everything from coffee to whisky to jeans to boots... my tastes keep changing and all three of these Oris watches nail exactly what my aesthetics bounce between. I wouldn’t be able to choose a favorite at this point

[@Joltsu]

Proud owner of an Oris Aquis Lake Baikal nr. 590/1999. My first automatic watch :)

[@robertfeast7691]

Love Oris as a brand. I have a Propilot and an Aquis. The Aquis is my favourite. Great review 👍

[@apyorbitz]

I think the pronunciation is "id", as it comes from the Latin word for "it". Fun video! Thank you

[@SinnMaster]

Is this how they pronounce “id” in Germany? Genuinely curious, definitely not how we pronounce this in the US.

[@apyorbitz]

@@SinnMaster I think I'm German it's "es".

[@IchabodNyx]

@@apyorbitz I think in German his paper was: "Das Ich und das Es", and "The Ego and the Id" in English. But I'm happy to let Jenni pronounce Id however she wants.

[@robertschmidt9584]

Some things are lost in translation and try saying some of the longer German words she has given her audience. One of my favorite channels and Jennie is doing an amazing job, especially with no straps and watches to sell. My wife likes her opinion as only a woman can give at times.

[@apyorbitz]

@@robertschmidt9584 I'm not putting anyone down.

[@jobuckley2999]

I really enjoyed the psychology introduction as well as the very professionally produced video. I know that it took a lot of work and we appreciate it. My favorite watch was the Tudor Black Bay 58 on your wrist. I love that watch. The Oris watches were pretty cool too especially the skeleton. Peace.

[@divejumpshooter6947]

I have the Oris Pro diver Chronograph. After I left the USMC I spent a few years working in Commercial diving mostly bell bounce/Saturation for NDT/repairs etc. Oris was used by a lot of the guys that trained me. I grew to love tool watches- support ships, bells, habitats tend to be very industrial with hard iron/steel sharp edges do a tough watch even just on board ship is a requirement. Yes, dive computers have the market sewn up but most of us also wore a watch as a back up- when something goes wrong as it sometimes does you want a 'tool' that you recognize and are familiar with when your brain is racing through trouble shooting processes especially when in a case like me my tiny brain isn't functioning properly. I am much happier now working in Silicon Valley tech- much more relaxing.

[@mickeyromeo]

I have an Oris and I love it

[@annonymouslibertairian9120]

Loving my Oris GMT I purchased a month ago. I wasn't really that aware of the brand until I was offered a deal. Now I have a another go-to watch brand. Beautiful watches for a fair price.

[@redentorroque262]

Nice to see one of my favorite brands get a little love from you, Jenni. My pick from your 3 would be the Aquis and am waiting to see a green dial for their new 41.5mm model. How about doing a similar trio of watches from your country, like Sinn or Damasko?

[@AamirTime]

Great to see Oris getting some love. I have the Aquis Source of Life. Awesome and tough piece.

[@linobianchi7728]

Oris is a brand I seriously consider for my 50th birthday. Maybe an Aquis. So cool!

[@alaincordova2]

I own the pointer date and it is one of my favorite watches. Personally wasn’t a fan of bronze, so I went with a stainless steel version. The dial keeps its symmetry very well by avoiding a date window.

[@angelos6817]

Nice one Jenni! Last week ordered the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date in the traditional two tone with bracelet and right now I'm wearing the same same watch as you, the amazing Tudor BB58!

[@jonathansaraco]

Hey Jenni, great video! I love Oris, and one day I will definitely own an Aquis.

[@SgtHooch]

Great video. Oris was my first luxury watch. And yes, I know that it is on the low end when compared to Omega or Rolex. I love the Oris Aquis, and I bought one last year. It is the beautiful dive watch that I had been admiring for a few years. It is the best watch in my very small collection.

[@arshad35ali]

i had never thought about that "lift" sign on the buckle before and i think u r right it really would have been much better if they had written ORIS there instead. very good point. great video and great macro shots, really made me admire these watches once again.

[@stephand.4437]

Aquis Date was the Watch I started my Collection. A very Good Daily driver!😀

[@blacktoothstavros2606]

I have the Propilot Big date. It is my favourite in the collection, but will shortly be purchasing either an Aquis or a Diver 65. I love the design language used by Oris, the aero motifs on the pilots and the connection with ocean causes and the divers. Lovely watches, punching well above their weight. Great review, as always Jenni.

[@mikaxms]

The Big Crown Pointer Date is definitely my favourite. I guess because of the classic design with the coin bezel. The date pointer instead of date wheel is also pretty unique.

[@davidbreckler5327]

Your energy is an inspiration. I love watches and I love you!

[@mcclechinois1213]

[@deltafoxtrot2]

Great review, I have a 36mms big crown pointed which fits my small wrist at 170mm perfectly. I have had it about 13 years and it still keeps good time.

[@MH-im4oh]

Owned a few (5) Oris(es) in the past, always love to return to this brand. Perhaps should start collecting them again ☺️ IMHO, their value and build quality far exceeds the monetary, totally underrated. And as always, awesome video!

[@OrdinaryWatchGuy]

The Aquis Date really does manage to hide it's 43.5mm size with that lug design. You're so right! My Christopher Ward 42mm feels and looks bigger on my wrist than my Aquis Date. The Aquis Date is a great watch.

[@Billeh556]

Great video Jenni and glad to see such a great brand on your channel. For me, the newly released Aquis 41.5mm will be the perfect Aquis- used to own the 43.5mm and although it wears a but smaller due to the lug design on my 6.75” wrist, was still too big. But I loved the watch enough to seek out and try the 39.5mm which wore way too small for me; most of my collection is 38-40mm.

[@gajoaleatorio]

it is a great list. however, that Pilot can be a bit pricey. If you are on a budget, you can get the Big Crow Pro Pilot Date (the 41mm version) for around 800€.

[@macblack82]

Love my Aquis, they are very underrated watches.

[@badllama8090]

As an Oris fan and owner (Aquis date) loved the video. also think that the bronze big crown pilot was my favourite on this video, maybe my next watch.... keep up the good work.

[@mikhailkan2726]

very nice video. Smooth, fluent editing, production, making nice points on the matter, timing, pacing. Fine content!

[@kelseywinter-troutwine1928]

As a 32 yr old Chef I bought my first Swiss watch from Oris, the 39.5mm tungsten bezel. Holy hell its great. Love it & cannot want to keep it for lifetimes.

[@WatchUnwind]

Congrats on getting your first Swiss watch !!! That’s a great one too

[@abhi4ify]

Hello Jenny.. Nice selection.. Propilotx was an eye opener coming from Oris.. Last week I watched CONSTANTINE movie and it has an ORIS watch in a very very important scene with full focus on watch

[@sangahn9834]

Hello Jennie! there’s a diver’s extension on that Aquis Oris. Thank you for honest, down to earth review!

[@BellTunnel]

Pointer date. What an elegant, improved representation of the date within the dial. So long walleyed date wheels.

[@JLchevz]

Oris Aquis of course is my favourite, I'm saving to buy one! lol

[@WatchUnwind]

Get the new one with the in house movement it looks awesome !

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

The bronze will turn your skin green. That is why all companies use stainless steel on bronze pieces. The bronze blackbay is also stainless, it just has a pvd coating to look like bronze.

[@natesaltus3001]

those macro shots are hypnotic I love that pro pilot X!

[@retrostu1]

I do love Oris. They have some lovey looking watches. I’m still yet to own one, but that will change!

[@Nefville]

I'm wearing a green 39.5mm Aquis now, definitely my favorite. The green dial is very pretty with a sunburst finish with very clear polished indicies and the bezel is an understated hunter green out of polished ceramic. I did adjust my movement but now I have it running at -1 to -2 per day instead of the +16 when I got it. Almost perfect.

[@AmreshKumar-vt3pm]

Won't be long till you get the 100k subs! Keep up the good work Jenni!

[@mariobianchi1909]

I love the Aquis line but as soon as possible I will increase my Oris collection with the beautiful / amazing / unique /ProPilotX. Nice trio review, subbed!

[@pdmotors5027]

Often overlooked, but still beautifully crafted watches, nice Review Jenni......

[@RichardKoppinger]

Very interesting format. I enjoyed the comparison between the three watches. I hope you can do another like this in the future.

[@feloniusdrunk]

I really enjoyed that. The camera work was really excellent. My favourite was the titanium watch. Normally I don't like that style, but the way that has been executed really appeals to me. Until today I had never given Oris a second thought, but now that you explained what they are about, I will be giving them much more attention.

[@kristiangustafson4130]

Oh man, another awesome watch (the pointer date.) added to my MUST HAVE NOW list

[@bassmannausaugsburg]

The Aquis 41 is a great watch with the 400 Cal. 5day power and wears like smaller than its dimensions sugges. ,So good that I sold Omega 2254 without hesitation and haven't missed it. The Aquis is like no other diver ou there. Great brand and def under the radar.

[@scottwaldie4979]

Wow, that Oris Big Crown ProPilot X is a real beauty.

[@driventomadness117]

Lovely video Jenni, thanks for making it! I really appreciate the affordable nature of the watches too.

I prefer the diver, I just like divers better. A close second would be the Pointer Date 80th Anniversary. Great vid.

[@marcomrc4424]

Hey Jenni, I'd like to get your thoughts on the Oris Diver 65. Do you like it and recommend it? either the bronze crown or the green dial (my fav)

[@BarnOwl61]

Jenni, the Aquis is my grail watch. So much better looking than the Rolex sub and a lot cheaper!

[@wristray8775]

An Idea so well explained that no one can deny.

[@fortbend7517]

I’ve been waiting for you to speak on Oris!

[@jameswong6590]

Jenni, you are right. Bronze will react with human skin and oxidize and might even cause allergic reaction. That's why most case back are made of stainless steel.

[@MusikPiratCH]

Bronze for me is a material I strongly avoid. It's patina you cannot foresee and if you don't like it it's too late. Therefore I'd go with a steel model for the Big Crown Pointer Date. For me Oris has it's roots as a Flieger watch. Therefore also the Pointer Date would be the "Ego" that holds it all together (although you are right that most speak about the Aquis). 🤔

[@LocalWatchGuy]

I just recently purchased one and reviewed it on my channel, it is a really beautiful looking watch yet functional too

[@MartinLuetzelberger]

I don't like the first one, because of the old fashion design. The ProPilot X is real amazing. I love it to see so many details. The Oris Aquis Date is great too. I would like to have them both. Your videos are nice to watch. Well done!

[@j.j.h.atemycereal]

I love the ‘4’ on the Big Crown Pointer Date. Thank, Jenni.

[@shamaldass241]

ORIS provides great value...I have the deep red dial Pointer Date...it is a stunner

[@gilrovisco6891]

Hi Jenni, great video, it’s just sad that the propilot X is 44mm, I do agree with the “lift” word as a reference to the buckle is a little too much. Cheers

[@stiannese7155]

love the ris Big Crown ProPilot X ! great video

[@RooslanKhayrov]

Very nice trio to represent the brand! I own the 80th anniversary pointer date and really like Aquis (just not that much into divers in general). Their 10-day hand crankers are really interesting too. It's probably worth highlighting the variety of Aquis limited editions. Many people are fed up with endless stream of not so limited editions, but I think that bezel and caseback designs of some of the Aquis LEs are really a step above the standard production models, e.g. the Clean Ocean.

[@DonaldPerley]

Oris doesn't seem to price gouge the special editions, and they are mostly associated with a charitable cause that gets the extra profit.

[@AltamashSayed]

That '3' hand gesture at the beginning brought back some 'inglourious' memories!

[@dioxyz]

The big crown pointer-date is my dream watch❤️

[@SultanAbdulRehman]

Love the Pro-Pilot, but after this video I'm more attracted to Aquis. Never thought I would like a diver watch 😭😂

[@WestCoastAce27]

Great job - 3 very different watches. The skeleton (non-titanium) is very tempting.

[@AharonHyman]

I love my Oris Aquis date, I have the relief model with a starburst grey dial and the steel bezel, it is on a grey reubber strap and really comfortable. Big fan of where Oris are going these days.

[@tonyhawk123]

Nice review thanks. I came here for the Oris Aviation. One of the few skeleton watches (within reasonable budget anyway) to catch my attention. The more I look at it though the more I'm irked by the Casio effect - wish they hadn't put “10 DAYS” and “BIG CROWN” in big capital letters. Less is more.

[@noahtheviking1]

I look forward to your big beautiful smile when you say lets get started.

[@GuyMrIncognito]

The stainless caseback ion the big crown is there to mitigate the contact of your skin and the bronze. Since bronze could discolourate or even irritate skin by chance.

[@kamenlitchev]

Damn, that ORIS Propilot - as much as I like it - made me crave the Zenith Defy skeletonized models even more...

[@bipinchandra8080]

Beautifully presented and very well researched content .

[@karimnasser9226]

Thanks for posting your videos. I think the clasp on the Propilot-X where LIFT is engraved refers to air lift and not the seat buckle. Air lift which an airplane wing creates is what causes the plane to fly. The clasp itself looks like a wing profile, it is that shape which creates lift. I may be wrong but this is how I see it. I still don't like it though, the bracelet is nice and suddenly there is this odd shape. I am not a big fan of Oris watches, I always feel there is too much in the watch, or something missing, although. I do like a couple of older models.

[@FullyLumed]

I'm looking at the Oris Aquis GMT but I don't know whether I should wait until they put the Calibre 400 movement in it or just purchase it now with the Sellita movement? Can anyone help me?

[@00-Fresh-Snow-00]

I wish more watch brands would make curved, downward lugs like the Aquis 😔

[@RichardKoppinger]

Definitely. I know they're not for everyone, but I own three Invicta Grand Diver watches that are 47mm. The curved lugs do make a significant impact on the fit of the watches.

[@wimdepril6920]

[@jeremyrice3719]

It’s so nice to see a KZbin watch video that’s not about the same old tired watch brands. Also refreshing to see a generally positive take on the Pro Pilot and the Aquis. Do disagree slightly on the Aquis - for me it is the perfect dive watch. Well, nothing to dislike with a magical sunburst dial, with a clean, modern look. I even love the case, the hand set, the lollipop second hand. Disagree about the date - I think it’s perectily done. It blends in and isn’t, gasp, at the 3 or 4 ruining their symmetry. So tired of all the watches that are vintage inspired (which are generally not very inspired). Not saying there aren’t wonderful exceptions, I’m just not one of these people who puts ancient designs up on a pedestal.

[@crazehare]

definitely the aquis but I would've also reviewed the Oris diver 65 that's also one of my favorites from them.

[@Alex_Fung]

My favorite is the big crown pointer, which I'm lucky to own but a close second is the Aquis.

[@davidsimpson5507]

Hi Jenni, I enjoyed your Freudian analogy. I'd love to hear your take on Rado. The Captain Cook is quite well covered but I see relatively little about the Golden Horse Automatic and the Diamaster range, not mention True Square. They seem to have so many collections and variations in a slightly awkward price range that I find the brand a little impenetrable. They're intriguing but where do you start?
