Oris Divers Sixty-Five - The vintage Diver 65 Watch from Oris

[@drdesign6886]

This was my first proper luxury watch. I’ve owned many more expensive (still do) since from brands including Tudor, Cartier, Panerai, Rolex and GS. Yet every single time I put on or spend on more expensive watches I’m left feeling that the Oris 65 is all the watch anyone could ever need. Doesn’t stop me being an idiot and buying other watches - but it should!!

[@WATCHingJames]

I definitely know that feeling 😂😂😂

[@brianmsahin]

Great comment. I understand entirely. I have quite a big collection myself but not as many luxury ones except for an Omega Seamaster and a GS also. The watch I like to put on however will probably make you laugh. It's my $35 Casio Mission Impossible DW-290 ! I just can't put it down. It's the coolest watch in my opinion. I even had a strap handmade that cost 4 times the price of the watch!😂

[@stevenmccarthy112]

A beautiful piece which I cannot afford. Instead I have a Steeldive homage which I am quite happy with.

[@WATCHingJames]

It is great that we have so many options. Thanks for WATCHing

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@igormoloko1]

It has been a daily driver of mine for over 4 years now. Bezel has a bit of a play but apart from that it’s a solid buy. Mine runs at -4 sec per day.

[@WATCHingJames]

That’s great to hear. They are lovely watches

[@Trapvision3D]

The presentation is amazing. I just saw this in hand a few days ago and it is a great timepiece

[@WATCHingJames]

It is very nice.

[@brianmsahin]

Thanks James, that's a very attractive watch, 100m is fine, I've snorkeled and swam a Seiko 5 but of course when diving I wouldn't trust it as back up. Only use 200m minimum then. I'm sure you'll b3 safe enough in the water with this Oris. I like the good lume too, good even with the faux patina. I only worry long term when the faux patina gets real patins, it might deteriorate too much.

[@WATCHingJames]

It is a very nice option in this style. I’m a big fan of the brand and can see why they are so popular

[@taylorhardy933]

I have owned this exact watch for the last 2 years! Nearly worn it everyday….love it so much!!

[@WATCHingJames]

It is a fantastic watch

[@timemeasured9137]

Love Oris!!! One change I would make is a ceramic bezel. The shine would match the glossy dial! This is a vintage dainty diver with a dressy appeal.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@christopherhilton2539]

Great video James, love seeing Oris getting some love. I really like the 65 but I love the Aquis with the cherry dial been looking at that for awhile now.

[@WATCHingJames]

They make some incredible watches. I’ve just bought their pointer date. Just waiting for it to arrive.

[@christopherhilton2539]

The pointer date is a great wstch. From what i have seen in your videos you have a great collection James. Can't wait to see your review on the pointer date.

[@phillipedwards420]

Have this one myself. However I made the mistake of not getting the steel bracelet. Cool video James!

[@WATCHingJames]

It is a great watch

[@drdesign6886]

Get the bracelet dude. I purchased on bracelet and then got the tropic afterwards. I love the tropic (Oris do the best on market without question) but this watch works best on the bracelet. - it’s stunning and elevated on it. Worth the extra hand in your pocket! It’ll make this a keeper for life.

[@rawdah786]

That’s a beautiful watch James but unfortunately out of my price range 😭

[@WATCHingJames]

They are not cheap unfortunately. But sometimes they can be found at reasonable prices second hand.

[@chriscon8463]

I really like the shape of the skin-diver-style watches. They look like they would be very comfortable!

[@WATCHingJames]

They have a lot going for them.

[@chriscon8463]

@@WATCHingJames Definitely! Plus, it’s a relatively light watch, isn’t it?

[@WATCHingJames]

Yes. A very easy watch to wear

[@adk7962]

This watch is stunning. I always think my first entry level luxury will be a CW, but I forget about Oris. Although this one is a bit above entry level luxury both in price and finishing. But then again, I saw some guy post that anything under $3,000 is in the “affordable” category for him. I’m hoping he was joking. 😬

[@WATCHingJames]

I definitely don’t consider them affordable. I think achievable is a better word. Especially on the used market. I’m a big fan of Oris. I actually just bought another. That’s 3 now in my collection

[@zillsburyy1]

they are famous for that red rotor

[@WATCHingJames]

They certainly are. It is a nice touch of colour to see when you look at the movement

[@RabbitWatchShop]

My main issue with this particular model from Oris is the price. They charge a premium for this diver, when most of them have the standard SW200-1. I considered them many times, but the price for the movement always prevented the purchase. Only a few of these have their in-house movement. My Tudor BB54 has similar vintage vibes, but it a far better value for the money than this Oris.

[@WATCHingJames]

Thanks for WATCHing

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

❤ my Divers 65, I have the original reproduction with the reverse contrast numbers. 😊

[@WATCHingJames]

I really like that version

[@robbiecleighmarks3088]

Love my Diver 65, i have the two tone in bronze also known as the Bico. Fantastic vintage inspired piece, and it honestly reminds me of 1960s Rolex **Was actually impressed at -20 after 3-4 years of a non serviced sellita. Not bad at all. Bought mine off Bob's Watches for $1500 USD

[@WATCHingJames]

It is a great watch. Thanks for WATCHing

[@choolander]

You’ve been on a roll with Oris watches

[@WATCHingJames]

I really like them. So happy to get hands on with them as much as I can.

[@choolander]

@@WATCHingJames I love Oris as a brand particularly the older ones. I have 5. Artix Complications, BC3 Day Date, Original Big Crown Pointer Date, ProPilot Worldtimer, and Rectangular

[@drkbarry]

Love you vids mate so enthusiastic. Love Oris too but way over priced with the selitta movement they use. You can get a CW for have the price with same movement and with equal quality n finish but not the heritage. I see Oris have their new superb in house movement but the price is nearly double!!

[@WATCHingJames]

I hear you. I’m not convinced the in-house movements are worth that extra cost either. I’m sure they are good. But that’s a lot of cash. I’ve bought all my Oris watches used. Which makes the value proposition much better.

[@Adam-7_7_7]

Look at that beautiful dome 😮

[@WATCHingJames]

It has some great features. I can see why it’s so popular

[@stephenmundane]

Good looking watch and great video thanks. If I wanted a very well-made diver with vintage vibes, I'd buy a Lorier Neptune Series IV for less than a quarter of the price of a new Diver 65. Swiss quality without the massive mark-up associated with "Swiss Made" in my opinion.

[@WATCHingJames]

I’ve been wanting to check out the Loriers. I’m sure I’ll pick one up one day.

[@NaNByZero]

Definitely a good looking one by own design. I wonder if Oris will make quick adjustment clasps. The old style with the holes is a bit a bother with my Aquis. 🕐⚙️🍸

[@WATCHingJames]

I’m sure they will. It might just take them a while to catch up.

[@scatterbrain9490]

Forgot about Oris, very nice

[@WATCHingJames]

A great brand to consider. One of my favorites

[@MichaelG1986]

I like the brand and have often thought of getting a Big Crown or diver from Oris, but I have bad feelings about the brand. I got interested in watches in the mid- to late-1990s. I was looking for a "nice" watch to buy then and a watch/jewelry store had a display of Oris watches in the window. I went in and asked to look at one and the salesman showed me a Big Crown and I said I wasn't very familiar with the brand. He took the watch from me and said, "Oris is a well known brand, I'm surprised you don't know it." It left a bad taste in my mouth and it still lingers, fairly or unfairly. I soon thereafter bought an Omega Speedmaster Reduced from another retailer.

[@WATCHingJames]

I’ve almost bought a reduced a few times. They look great.

[@scatterbrain9490]

The Wise out of Thailand have some great features

[@WATCHingJames]

I am really excited about their new preorder. I’ve almost ordered one a few times. But I’ve been buying to many watches recently

[@S-Ltd1000]

Used is definitely the way to go with these. Nice as they are they are too expensive for what they offer.

[@WATCHingJames]

I’m finding that with Oris. Some great watches on the used market.

[@naomiredpath4351]

[@camels3269]

Thanks for the great review! What is your wrist size?

[@WATCHingJames]

17cm. Thanks for WATCHing

[@flutterstone1281]

I am tempted to buy the version without the bronze highlights. I am torn regarding the size of the 40mm and how it will wear on my wrist. Did anyone catch how big the fella's wrist is?

[@WATCHingJames]

17cm. Around 6 3/4 inch. It is a lovely watch. I was just looking on the website and there is a special edition blue dial which look amazing. But expensive.

[@flutterstone1281]

@@WATCHingJames thank you! My taste in watches has moved steadily in the direction of small sizes. At one point 40mm was a minimum for me but now it seems big. But a 36mm dive watch might be too small even for me (Oris offers this in 42, 40,and 36). I wished they offered it in a 38 or 39mm.
