Oris Diver 65, New Vs Old

[@Contredanse]

I missed out on the original way back in 2015 (wasn't into wrist watches then), so I think this release is for people like me. Definitely enjoying mine, and having no real experience handling the original I'm perfectly happy. 😀 Thank you for sharing your experience with the watch!

[@ClickSpringReview]

The OG is still the best but unfortunately they are getting to the age they all need servicing now

[@lexurious2227]

Oris fan here, love them both. I like Oris being an independent watch company.

[@ClickSpringReview]

So many people don't understand that most of the companies are part of the big 4 watch groups were Oris and a few other stand apart as independents

[@MeestroDavid]

Seeing them side-by-side, I'm realizing I really like the older model a lot more. The black-edged bezel is much better looking and I love the way the date is implemented, which is an improvement on the way the date was handled on the 1965 originals. As they're otherwise identical in size, same bracelet, same Sellita movement, etc, this feels like the new version is giving us less while asking for more money. I do prefer the OG Oris logo on the newer model but it's such a subtle difference that it's easily overlooked.

[@ClickSpringReview]

The original date placement at 3 would of ruined the dial as you say, being at 6 on the OG you almost don't even see its there which makes it prefect

[@Bennie_Bee6]

Agree completely re the black bezel edge. I hadn't noticed it was missing on the new update until I saw Barry's first video when it was released.

[@Bennie_Bee6]

Thanks so much for doing the comparison with the OG Barry. Only getting to watch it now. Really glad I waited as I've decided to keep my gen 1 (same one as yours but on the original tropic). Both versions are great but having watched your comp video, I don't think there's enough difference in the update to justify a swap/upgrade. Also I think I'd miss the date on my version.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I fully agree the OG is still the one to have only downside is being the age they are they are all going to need servicing soon thats why I did mine last year ps Bennie are you subscribed yet :)

[@Bennie_Bee6]

@ClickSpringReview I am indeed subscribed. I've been a subscriber to your channel for ages and have probably watched at least 200 of your vids including all the Sinns. One of my sons uses my log on as I have YT premium so he keeps changing my name and Avatar/Profile pic every 6 months or so. I need to get him his own YT Account. Love the channel and always look forward to new updates! Keep up the great work

[@happytravels2480]

I love the new no date version. Opposite of what many have said…the date was always a deal breaker for me. This new dial is so much cleaner.

[@michaelj8793]

Date no date I love them both Thanks for sharing as always my friend Be well and Big blessings

[@ClickSpringReview]

Any time Micheal they are both lovely

[@MrMarkallwood]

Great review and comparison! Enjoyed all your videos on this new reference. I have the previous version and love it but considering adding this one since it improves some things and has the better font and dial. Question for you, is the tone of the fauxtina markers yellower in the new one or is it the same?

[@ClickSpringReview]

Cheer Mark, I'd say its the same Sir

[@Bugster987]

Very nice. Still think I prefer the old one except for the tiny details of the text. Normally prefer no date but the first version blended that in so well.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I love the way the date is hidden in plain sight

[@acrOlyu]

This Oris is very nice and would have been great in 38mm, for now I'll stick with the Vulcain Nautiq skyn diver!

[@ClickSpringReview]

Now thats a brand I've not really looked into before 👍🏻

[@igysale1]

Fair review there. As an owner of older reissue version with blue & black dial I say I stick with mine.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I love my one but they are all getting to the point of needing a service now

[@swanney75]

The old one was perfect - the new ones ok but I get the feeling they removed the date because otherwise nobody would notice the updates

[@ClickSpringReview]

Exactly matey 👍🏻

[@hammalamiri12]

People will complain about the price for almost anything unless it’s a watch for the top 0.1% of earners. I think the rrp is fine compared to what other big brands are doing. The good news for us consumers is that the UK market is in a shambles and good discounts can be had

[@ClickSpringReview]

Will said 👍🏻

[@gori277]

Love it but it wears too big for the size, should've made it 38mm and kept that fully black bezel and date. Maybe in a near future...

[@ClickSpringReview]

A 38mm non date model may of worked but with the big front the dial might of lost some of its charm, You can get a standard 65 in 38mm but not with this dial layout

[@gefthetalkingmongoose]

New dial with old longer indices and old black bezel would be perfect...

[@ClickSpringReview]

You just cant please some people 😁👍🏻

[@gefthetalkingmongoose]

@@ClickSpringReview 😂

[@hammalamiri12]

I love bi directional bezels, they should be utilised more often

[@ClickSpringReview]

I don't mind them but it is surprising to see it on a diver

[@PanuTiihonen]

This one i need to try o my wrist, I always liked this original dial layout. And the no date works better for me On a sidenote, Hodinkee says its 46mm lug to lug. Everyone else says 48. Its not the first time I've noticed descrepancies between reviews. The big H hasn't been exactly in its prime for a while

[@ClickSpringReview]

I find most of the big reviewers NEVER measure the watch and just copy and paste the manufacturer details thats why I always check and give the true dimensions Sir

[@Anthony-s8v7b]

New one for me, but both look great. I think I prefer the no date on either

[@ClickSpringReview]

The non date does look clean 👍🏻

[@Anthony-s8v7b]

@ClickSpringReview I can see myself on holiday wearing that... 😎

[@ClickSpringReview]

​@@Anthony-s8v7b If you did you wouldn't regret it Anthony

[@jlg395]

New one definitely needs a date. Too bad. I've really been pining for one of these, but a date is non-negotiable.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Sounds like you need to find an older model only downside is being the age they are its going to need a service more than likely

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

Would be very happy with any one of the two👍

[@ClickSpringReview]

Fair comment 👍🏻

[@paulgreen3270]

Love this design

[@ClickSpringReview]

Both are gorgeous

[@nikc1313]

If I could swap the bezel from the new watch to the old I'd take the old model. Prefer the functionality of the date wheel which is very well integrated.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I really like the black bezel, its one of the few watches were the dial is hidden in plain sight that so many people don't see it at first glance

[@AudioFlat]

Obviously both are nice but I think I prefer the new one.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Can't go wrong with either to be fair but you can't beat a new watch, well maybe new speakers LOL

[@jaredstephenson6468]

The new one is almost perfect. I just really wish that they'd have included a date in the new one.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yeah I do to but I think they had to make it different to the first gen

[@robertlock6041]

Hi Barry, do both watches have Sellita movements or is the older one equipped with a 2824? All things considered I'd go for the new one. Nice video, nice watches... thanks Barry. LG Bob 🍻🍻🍻

[@ClickSpringReview]

Hi Bob both have the SW200 fitted under the hood, when I serviced mine I should of made a video off it 🙃

[@robertlock6041]

@ClickSpringReview You can't think of everything Barry, and in the end it doesn't really matter if it's a Sellita or ETA as they're both good movements. 🍻🍻🍻

[@Robert-vw3od]

I’ve seen the watch and I was very impressed despite my initial thoughts, the only thing I would say is this further cements my opinion that the watch deserves the in-house movement. if it’s not going to be that then you should be looking at COSC certification and for me lack off this is a big letdown. it’s a shame because I love the design of the watch - it’s beautiful. The styling is fantastic. It looks like a divers watch should. On my wishlist despite some shortcomings.

[@ClickSpringReview]

You can get a 65 Diver with their in-house movement but its cost a little over a £1000 more and personal I prefer the SW200 myself and as can be seen from the timegrapher results they run with in COSC specs normally Robert

[@P-Nisse]

If you dive deeper? No, but that's not what it's about. A car for example that is called Off Road but breaks down if you try is not Off Road. A diver's watch should be 300m.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I know what you mean but 99% of people who go in the sea with their watch on don't go deeper than a meter or two, Even a scuba certified PADI Diver only goes to 12m

[@P-Nisse]

@ That’s true, but if it says 100 meters, it doesn't mean it's waterproof to 100 meters. This means that you can swim with the watch but not dive.

[@ClickSpringReview]

@@P-Nisse Thats is true but this is really a skin diver

[@wuyeah1980]

When OSF first relaunched, it was an exciting release. We haven’t seen this design for a while it was refreshing to see among divers. Then ORIS managed to make generic diver design version of OSF, then follow by the Topper release. Since I already bought the piece, further offering I just don’t bother to chase. This anniversary release, which not hugely different than that Topper release, just like multiple Tudor Black Bay variants, it is not exciting. To me, if they were released it in smaller 38mm case, that will create some hype and I do not mind to buy another in smaller, more vintage size vibe form of the original. As an owner of OSF initial reissue, with such minor differences in details, I don’t know how ORIS want me to support? I certainly will not be interested buying another. It’s an Anniversary with no excitement, nay for me. I don’t think they have thought this marketing strategy through thoroughly.

[@ClickSpringReview]

The reissue was a big hit for them and I guess they thought maybe it would be again, as you say a 38mm non date model may of worked but with the big front the dial might of lost some of its charm

[@wermissam1239]

How can they put the diver mention with 10atm only :/

[@ClickSpringReview]

Because it was always a skin diver Sir

[@kresimirpleic]

Formally, 10 atm is a minimal requirement for a diver. But yes, it's a lazy way of doing a simple job, but it is what it is. They would have probably gone out of business if it weren't for the fact that Oris is a darling brand for KZbinrs. Oris is one of the worst value for money brands at retail prices.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I like the brand as a hole as its one of the very few which in its 100+ years of life has manage to still independent and even bring out its own in house movement, To many brands are owned by Swatch and the Richemont group

[@pete5534]

A slightly different flavour. Pick your poison. I’ll echo your sentiment, it’s an extremely comfortable wear as it is very thin and only a 40mm diameter. I like mine.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its one of them watches you need to own to really appreciate, isn't it Pete

[@diahndrummond8238]

Why put a Bi Directional bezel on a dive watch. Would Seiko Rolex Omega or Doxa do that . Hummmm

[@ClickSpringReview]

Being it has always been a skin the bezel isn't important, I cant think of one Rolex with a 100m WR which has a bezel can you ?

[@diahndrummond8238]

I can’t think of o Rolex diver that doesn’t have a bezel, can you?

[@ClickSpringReview]

If you check out Oris website it does say the watch is only rated for skin diving so I guess a bezel is that important just like Milgauss and GMT master 2 which both have 100m WR also and don't have dive bezels

[@attiliocecchinato4017]

E' un skin diver da 1.000-1200 € Punto . Ecco perche'. Ghiera biridezionale come i Vostok 🤢. Selita sw200 , e ghiera in alluminio . Rivendibilia' " lacrime e sangue". 😢 Se voglio un Skin diver top mi prendo un Vulcaine nautique , con eta 2824-2 e ghiera in ceramica . 1450€ il Nautique bracciale inox , 2250 € il 65 anniversary . 100 a 0 .

[@ClickSpringReview]

If you fitted a ceramic bezel on this it would lose the hole vintage theme, and every body loves the Oris 65 diverI know you listed a few watches and they are good models But not many people have even heard of Nautique and Vulcain. I bet Oris have sold more 65 divers than either company combined any of their models this is because a watch is some times more than the sum of its parts

[@attiliocecchinato4017]

Aprezzo quello che dici . Ma non condivido .

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thats fair enough 👍🏻
