I personally prefer the Oris to the Omega due to the movement, the design, the bracelet and the value for money. I also have a few things for viewers and potential buyers of these watches to concider after watching your video. Maybe these points should be included in a future video about these models. 1. You refer to the Oris as a 40 mm watch at the start of the video and commenting that you think it is to small, but it is in fact 41,5 mm. It does have short integrated lugs which makes it wear a little smaller and very comfortably. 2. You say the thickness of the Oris is thick at 13,8, but the thickness of the model in 41,5 mm (which is the only one shown throughout the video) is actually 13,5 mm which is exactly the same as the Omega Seamaster at 13,5 mm. 3. The Omega Seamaster pro bracelet does not taper but the bracelet on the Oris Aquis does taper down to 16 mm making the bracelet on the Oris alot more comfortable and stylish compared to the thick and chunky bracelet on the Omega. The Omegas bracelet does however have toolless microadjust which the Oris does not. The integrated bracelet on the Oris offers superior comfort, but limits the possibility of 3rd party straps significantly. On the Omega you can shop a wide variaety of after market straps. The Oris does however have their own brilliant quick-change strap system which makes it very ewasy to change between the bracelet and the rubber strap without tools and without scratching the watch. 4. You say that Oris does not offer any Aquis models in other metals, but they do in fact sell one model in gold (CARYSFORT REEF GOLD LIMITED EDITION) and one with a white gold dial (SUN WUKONG ARTIST EDITION). It should be noted that these models are both limited and very expensive. Oris also sells their other models in bronze. 5. Skeletonized hands means less superluminova and therefore the lume on the Oris's hour and minute hands is alot brighter and longer lasting than the Omega. The hands are also a polarizing feature on this model. 6. In addition to the 10 year warranty the Oris does also have a 10 year service interval which significantly reduces servicing cost in the long run. Omega recommends you service their watches about every 5 years. An Omega service is expensive so the Omega will definately be alot more expensive to have in tip top shape in the long run. 7. The beat frequenzy of the Omega is 25 200 vibrations per hour (3,5 hz, 7 beats per second) where the Oris has a beat frquenzy of 28 800 vibrations per hour (4 hz, 8 beats per second). This means that the Oris has a smoother sweep of the seconds hand than the Omega. Some will care about this, others won't. 8. The Omega is alot more expensive with a much lower value for the money, but it will probably hold its value better on the second hand market compared to the Oris. 9. The big helium escape valve on the Omega is a polarizing feature along with the skeletonized hands. Maybe talk a little bit more about that? 10. This last point is non watch related but since you mention it there are plenty of car manufacturers that offer long guarantees. Kia currently offers a 7 year factory warranty on all of their cars. Keep up the good work with your videos! :)

[@kevinhopkins2194]

I agree with with you m8

[@steelsteez6118]

I own both (black dial SMP300 on rubber) and blue dial Aquis but still prefer the SMP300. The lyre lugs, the ridiculous comfortable rubber strap with the thoughtful hidden buckle keeper, and the zr02 wave dial is just 🤌🤌. The 8800 coaxial movement is also an engineering marvel. The Aquis is also a stunning watch though and gets just as much wrist time. A more industrial, raw, with a "straight to business" attitude. The 10 year warranty is unprecedented as well.

[@peakrider4886]

You see I have a bit of an issue when it comes to watch snobbery, and this is probably the first Chisholm Hunter video where I’ve really felt it come across. And it’s just little things that infer something about potential Oris buyers, such as if you like simple get the Oris, and the quip at the end suggesting if you’re an amateur and you know nothing about luxury watches, then go with the Oris. The calibre 400 is a technical marvel, and a bit of background research would have uncovered exactly why it’s a revolution for Oris and for watchmaking. So shame on you Harrison, less watch snobbery in future please, we know you love your Omega, but please don’t justify it by downplaying the comparator.

[@kurtrobert3762]

I just bought the Oris today in the 41.5 mm, blue dial. 10 year warrantee, 120 hour power reserve, plus incredible anti-magnetism ratings. And it looks gorgeous.

I've got the Oris bicolor and I love it. And the best part is there are no replicas of it while every yobbo and their brother are wearing Submariner or Seamaster replicas nowadays.

[@thinsmough5948]

Both are beautiful watches beyond a doubt. My personal preference is the Oris. I love the quite tool-oriented no-nonsense design, and the movement is really impressive. Contrarily, though, I think the bracelet is too polished and not really in line with its tool look. Also, the price aspect of the Oris is downright impressive for the movement and quality you're getting. As for my favourite Breguet model, it would be the Marine. I love every aspect about that watch, right down to the rotor.

This has probably been said in these comments already but the Oris comes in 43.5 , 41.5 and 39.5. So lots to chose from.

[@marketingsuccess2637]

As an Aquis owner for many years, I can share some insights. Watch on rubber is absolutely fabulous the clasp is easy to adjust on the fly and wears very well. Compared to the lack of adjustability on the Omega rubber strap, it is superior. Two negatives on the Aquis is definitely the antireflective coating is not great. And the accuracy is not great either, I typically lose 5 to 10 seconds a day. Typically to make sure I'm never late, I just set the watch five minutes ahead every month and that keeps me early and on time, but I expect more accuracy. It definitely is well built and looks great, you can get deep discounts. Also I do own the stainless steel bracelet and it definitely is quality, but lacks the micro adjustability.

[@jojotwice8918]

lol mechanical watches are never accurate, get quartz

[@rabtrekker]

I do believe they are regulated for -3/+5sec daily (Cal. 400). Yours seems slightly out of spec and may have been magnetised?

[@levedia]

​@@jojotwice8918 seriously. He should get quartz. Omega not that accurate compared that oris either. -5 + 5. And im sure his is a selita version cause mine is the same accuracy and i have selitta. The cal 400 is even more accurate but still these are not watches u buy to depend on being on time st work. For that theres quartz or even better seiko.springdrive if u have $$$ and cell phones if you are not into watches lol

[@levedia]

​@@rabtrekkernot out of spec. He has selitta version mine does the same.

[@koenjanf7958]

I own both the Aquis (Sellita version, on bracelet) and the white SMP (also on bracelet). They are both great watches, but for daily use, I believe the Oris to be more versatile and comfortable. The bracelet on the Oris, while less complicated in terms of finishing, is a lot more flexible and fluid and just feels nicer on the wrist. Both are very good value for money watches though. As for the Breguet model I like the most, I would have to go with the 3230, very classy and I love the different dial textures/finishing.

[@brianlouishaddock4551]

I had an omega GMT master first edition, now worth a small fortune in second hand watches , the next was a breitlin, diver purchased in Switzerland that was a very deep diver I think it was 1500mt,s, or their about’s , I now run a micro watch brand , Traska Freeddiver 100 mt’s, great time keeper, but for my 80th birthday, I have chosen the oris 400, with the 10 year guarantee and I must say it looks Devine , I will have to weight till January 27th, for the pleasure of wearing it, it is totally different to all the others, it will be my last watch I am thinking , and I hope it lives up to the craftsmanship as shown in their video, a happy birthday awaits.

[@FlyYouFools88]

I'm an omega lover but I got my first Oris aquis pro date 400 recently and I'm sold. Absolutely lovely watch.

[@garywilson3582]

Why are you even comparing these two?

[@levedia]

Love the omega especially the popped up 3 dimensional markers. However i just prefer the oris. Better movement.(omega 25200 vhp ?? Comon) and more aestetics than omega. At nearly half the price.

[@thatmexicanguy2989]

Own both brands but the Omega takes the cake 🤷🏻‍♂️ which watch is better? Omega 100% 😎 which watch is right for you however… different story and that’s what matter when you buy a timepiece

[@kyleweber9760]

Love Omega, but Oris has my vote, the price is to attractive and the power reserve also!!!

[@BJ-md8es]

Favorite breguet is definitely the tradition 7067! I love the skeleton dial mixed with the number of complications. Rose gold even though I’m generally a stainless steel fan. As for the video, I think the Omega wins by a mile.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Great choice. I do love the White Vs Black combo on the OMEGA!

[@007qantas]

I am currently wanting a seamaster, just because. 😁Have been wearing an aquis calibre 400 for the last 2 years. A very beautiful watch for the price.

[@daviddigilio3036]

The Seamaster. Everyday. Breguet Type XXI Flyback Chrono is pretty sweet as well.

[@garytopley12]

Omega as it's the better watch and so it should be given it's at a higher price point. The Oris is a fantastic watch though and at it's price point is a serious contender against the Tudor Black Bay lineup and offers more than a Tag Aquaracer.

[@brandonspencer309]

I hope you (and other channels) get a chance to review the new 18k gold Aquis bezel and a few other good touches! I think the green with the good looks amazing! But I already own the 43.5 cal400 blue on bracelet, had it for 7 months and it runs at -3 per month….

[@robconley5426]

Great review, I’m Omega biased myself. For the Breguet, I’m considering the Classique 7147. The thin case and simple white dial appeal to me.

[@ChisholmHunterOfficial]

Good choice!

[@andrewfitzgibbons3492]

The winner for me is the omega it just looks so good a classic design, gorgeous! The oris is beautiful too but not to the omega just my opinion 😉

[@kk7sm]

First, my favorite Breguet? My Type XX that just came back from service a couple of weeks ago (and that was expensive service). :-) 40mm too small for a dive watch? There's a Mr. Rolex at the door saying something about Submarines? :-) So, I actually own both of these watches, the blue Aquis Cal 400 in 41.5mm and the Seamaster in white. It was like you were showing me my own collection here. I'm wearing the Oris right now, though. The Oris is great around the house and I wear a watch at night because I'm nearsighted and can't see the clock. When I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder whether it's worth it to try to fall back asleep, the lume on the Oris is legible - the Seamaster, not so much. It's the skeleton hands, they don't stay bright quite as long and trying to focus on a triangle and a dot with blurry vision, it's just too much for me. That said, I wouldn't own both if I didn't love both, but there's just something undefinable about the Aquis that makes me happy. If I had to sell one, though, I would sell the Seamaster before the Aquis. I think, in my case, it all comes down to how I use it.

[@joelopic]

The Aquis range and Titans before it have always had the best case design in the diving segment. The lugs curve beautifully around to hug the wrist. The case and bracelet marriage is sublime. It just looks better and doesnt have that pimple at 10 you just want to squeeze. The legibility in low light is clearer, Even the bezel action is better. Oris punches well above its weight amd aesthetically has few competitors. I own many more expensive watches than the Oris, but not many better

[@JacReviewsStuff]

The green 43mm is beautiful... Now with the caliber 400 they made it SMALLER???

[@timemeasured9137]

Omega is superior!!!! However Oris is well respected and slowly climbing into the luxury market.
