Oris 65 12HR Calibre 400 is it one of 2022's best?

[@richardmarquez1513]

I have this watch and love it. Transparent case back, relatively thin compared to Tudor S&G, Sapphire crystal, date at 6 o'clock, no cyclops glass, very light, low profile, 5days power reserve, keeps accurate time. Made me forget about having a Rolex submariner which is ... unavailable.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

It’s a gem 😊👍🏻

[@epicv7dayz824]

Nice job mate. Like your laid back but thorough approach to your review. Wonder if you still have and enjoy this piece? Cheers

[@bobthestinky7369]

Would be a perfect watch for me if it came in other colours than just black. Nothing wrong with black really, just a bit boring, will go with any outfit though.

[@lucvandriel2408]

Generally, blue and black are the most popular watch face colors. Personally i am a fan of a good blue. If they released this in a blue greyish or perhaps a greyish blue/green, it would almost certainly be a massive hit. The diver 65 has the most balanced dial of all Swiss diver watches in my opinion. It is almost close to perfection. Either way, i will definitely pick one up in 2023 to be my Grail watch.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

It’s a great watch and in my experience, some ADs will offer good discounts

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Great review! I have the Oris Diver 65 with the Selitta movement and love it. I just couldn’t see myself spending so much more for the caliber 400 variant. I picked mine up used for $1000 on leather full kit with 1 year left of warranty

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Thanks for that! Yes I totally understand. I got this for the movement as much as the model but the expense is significant. I'm hoping that the service intervals and warranty will pay for itself long term.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

@@EsbjornWristwatchReviews I have many Oris watches that are older then 10 years never serviced and run great

[@EP4LFC]

Thanks for this video, quality is fantastic! In terms of this watch, it really feels like Oris is purposefully teasing me... Ever since the Caliber 400 was first announced, I immediately thought a Divers 65 with a 400 would easily be my perfect watch. Fast forward to this year and it's been a continual case of "so close but so far." The Hodinkee edition was a count-down bezel, the Mr. Porter edition was PVD with no bracelet and now this watch is a 12 hour version. Given that the first 400 release was a typical Aquis with nothing substantial changed, it seems like Oris is making a conscious decision to not release a regular 65 with their new movement. I really hope I'm wrong.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Thanks so much for your comment and kind words. I am still in love with it and whilst I understand the 12hr bezel concern, go check it out in person if you can 🙂

[@MrZanzibar123]

Nice. The bracelet reminds me of the riveted stretch one on my vintage Rolex from the 60s.

[@steffydog]

Thanks for the great video and review, looks a cracker, how are you getting on with it after 4-5 months, wearing and time keeping wise, cheers.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Thanks for your compliment! It's a truly beautiful watch and I wore it every day last year. Time keeping is spot on as far as I've noticed (I'm not too worried about such things and check it once a week or so). It wears so well and Oris deserve all of the customers for their brilliant calibre 400. I have decided just this week to sell it on Chrono24 but that's mainly to free up some money for other life commitments, I would have absolutely no hesitation to wholeheartedly recommend it

[@Downloaded7]

Thanks for the great review. Browsing Chrono24, it seems you might have decided to sell. If so, can you comment on why you're letting it go? Would be helpful for those of us considering a purchase.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Thank you for the comment and compliment. Yes, I'm going on a big trip end of year and hoping to get a rather pricey lens. I had to make a horrible choice in selling one of my two favourite watches (this being one) to finance it. I'm quite sad about it but I'm also conscious the fact that you simply can't have everything. If it doesn't sell for what I want, I'll be very happy to keep it. It's one of the three best watches I've ever owned and it was a lifer but things change.

[@Downloaded7]

@@EsbjornWristwatchReviews Very understandable. But I'm glad to hear that the watch did not disappoint. I suspect that shipping and import duties will be prohibitive for me. Otherwise it would have been fun to pick up the exact watch I've admired in this review so many times. I hope you find a buyer and have a great trip!

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

@@Downloaded7 thanks so much 😊 you could always email me directly through my site to work something out 😉

[@superfast30]

Love the taper!

[@user-jl4ju3zl4w]

At this price it should be ceramic bezel and screw pins. Impressive movement though. 👏

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

I think they deliberately went for the vintage vibe over any cost concerns when it comes to material but it's a good point. Thanks for watching :)

[@mdv_83]

im really digging the Oris D65. im close to pressing the go button.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

It’s worth trying on if you can

[@almeladze]

Is that taper on the bracelet stepped? Looks like thy taper isn't very smooth from a link to a link.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

It’s very smooth 👍🏻

[@mikepurdy3952]

I'm Happy to see a (usable) sized Date Window...

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Agreed 👍🏻

[@Vess_Iossifov]

Great review, thanks 🙂

[@bennytudor5313]

Truly a better watch than the watches twice it’s price+

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Oris somehow don’t get the respect they deserve

[@boomboom-hx9uc]

What's the weight of this watch ? And do you prefer this or the Tudor Ranger ? Thanks

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

It's very light and nimble. If I had to choose one, I'd go the Oris but it's a tough choice. Try them both on if you can.

[@boomboom-hx9uc]

@@EsbjornWristwatchReviews Thanks !

[@bajamedic]

Great looking watch but the fake rivets are an absolute no go.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Yes much like on the Black Bay, not great. Thanks for watching 🙂

[@bajamedic]

@@EsbjornWristwatchReviews the black bays are starting to get some Jubilee’s and they are phenomenal.

[@stuart150]

Im a bracelet guy, so faux rivets and no on the fly? Deal breaker. I like it, movement is really appealing...but I think Halios would be my pick for a 12 hour bezel option

[@cjammer18]

Does the minute hand still jump sometimes when setting the time?

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

No I know this was an early issue but not observed on my watch so far

[@richardmarquez1513]

No

[@NicholasBaronMorgan]

Thanks good review

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

[@sauravsen1705]

Has the new caliber 400 lived up to the published accuracy specs?

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

So far, yes. But I have another 10 years to keep an eye on that 🙂

[@johnjiang1732]

12 HOUR BEZEL WHY Otherwise nice watch.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

😆😈

[@Trilogysworld]

They copied the Longines Zulu time in a sense trying to compete but it’s nice Oris is cool I prefer the Zulu time spirit

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

I really like the Longines Spirit range but I feel that this Oris is much cleaner overall. Both lovely watches though and I'd be happy to own either! Thanks for your comment

[@stavros_katsopr]

An almost GADA watch, though i fear that ORIS is another brand in (what i call) the "cursed" category of watch brands. Meaning watches that all praise, like, appreciate, would get, but after some time all "move up" or even "step down"(!) cause they are... "meh....". Hamilton is another example, TAG Heuer, Nomos, maybe Tissot too. Nothing wrong there, all well made, guess it's us, our needs/wants drugs us away from them... (or do they really lack something?😏😜) Thanks for the review mate, be well, cheers. PS [copy of my comment for another faux rivet bracelet] If someone around me has my sense of humor must put rivets on my coffin when i die. That much i despise them. Not to mention mercedes hour hand! 😜😂

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Haha, rivets on coffin 😆 I know what you’re saying but I love my Oris Propilot and have have no intention of moving it on. I love the underdog status!

[@jh-il5sb]

Those hideous faux rivets....didn't oris learn from all the hate Tudor gets. They removed them on the new 39mm pelagos thankfully

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

Yeah agreed, they are the one thing I don’t love

[@jh-il5sb]

@@EsbjornWristwatchReviews otherwise I really like that watch.....actually I really like what oris has been doing as company lately

[@Goose619]

At this price point I don’t think the divers 65 makes sense. I’d much rather get a Pelagos 39 or a black bay pro and get a a real gmt. This watch only makes sense at a heavy discount.

[@EsbjornWristwatchReviews]

A big difference is, you can get some very good discounts on Oris and again, the movement warranty and service will save you a lot of money over 10 years (1 x service rather than 2 x)
