I really dig it. In person they feel great on the wrist, and the sizing reminds me of wearing my grandfather's watch, in a good way. Still feels very modern. The thin bezel is awesome. Five day power reserve is huge. Makes life a wee bit easier. Nice snag. Great watch.
@@giovannibusato9815 I sold it to a collector from Hong Kong who visited the States! We had been communicating prior, and he REALLY wanted one, for a number of reasons. Sad to see it go, but it’s in a good home, and we both ended up happy campers.
I have a Tudor Black Bay 41MM and just bought an Oris 65 Green Dial 42MM and I love both. I don’t feel they rival each other. Love the crystal difference. Both great pieces. I sold my Tissot Seastar to get the 65
No date is the best thing most brands can do for their watches. Makes the dial look so much neater and uncluttered. Oris should provide this option for their regular watches.
Not huge on the 65, but this one is different. I would consider buying one, but as I’ve been collecting watches at 40mm and under the last couple of years, I’m back to buying/wearing 40-42 mm watches again. Definitely going to keep this one in the back of my mind though. Which by the way, these are still available for $2,200 on Hodinkees website.
That little play on the bracelet was done on purpose to allow a full drape down without the bracelet sticking out on lug to lug measurement….speaking of which, what’s the lug-to-lug height on this baby?
So this 38mm edition and the 40mm are both 48mm lug-to-lug?! That doesn’t make sense to me. Why make the lugs the same but with a smaller face. Should’ve made it 46mm lug-to-lug.
The perfect Oris Diver 65 - Tudor Black Bay 58 Killer: Case Size: 38mm Dial Colour: Deep Blue Lug to Lug: 46mm Watch Thickness: 12mm (including the domed sapphire crystal) Lug width: 19mm (wish it could be 18mm) Movement: Oris 733, base SW 200-1 is fine for Time only/No date Bezel Insert: Aluminum
I know that this won't be used for diving but what is the point of a countdown bezel on a dive watch. As any diver knows, the purpose of the setting the bezel when entering the water (Left surface) up to the point of leaving bottom (ascending from maximum depth) is to record elapsed time and thus to record bottom time for potential decompression. Setting a countdown timer presumes a known maximum depth. Seems to be of more use boiling an egg than using as a diving watch!
It's mainly used to help you count down how much time you have left. May it be the length of time your oxygen tank can last underwater or how long it is safe for you to be diving, regardless the countdown bezel essentially helps you keep track of how much time you have based off the amount of minutes (or an hour) you set.
Nice watch, but where is Oris claim to sustainability ? On one hand, they have these Aquis with weird dials made from recycled fishing nets and shipped in cardboard boxes, allegedly leading in watch industry fight to save the planet, and next thing you know, you get a limited edition Hodinkee Diver65 in a leather pouch.
So what? Do you expect every oris to be made entirely out of recycled plastic? Considering the packaging: The box is made out of “paper” instead of some plastic material and leather is not a product of the oil industry and can be tanned naturally…I see some sustainability there
@@stephenhaskins5736 regardless of what you think divers wear or don’t wear (mostly it’s wrist dive computers) the fact is ISO who certify ‘dive’ watches state 100m requirement. This has 100m. It qualifies for ISO standards to be a dive watch.
Really looking forward to them releasing the cal 400 in other 65 models.

@@lancelloyd7429 nice story! I'm thinking of getting one, tool watch vibes like the old sub from '80-'90s.

Great watch. Have an 65 myself wears great
Nice review. Would love to see a short follow-up video where you show the lume
Noted!
Jumping minute hand?
Is it a 60 or 120 click bezel? How is the action?
I don't recall exactly but bezel action was very good!
Good looking watch. Nice gloves too lol

@@D_F_L_ Yes, it's a very strange choice from Oris.
I'd love it if you did a Mime unboxing of an imaginary AP Royal Oak and see how many clicks you'd get.
That sounds hilarious! might just have to...
Very nice watch, but having already a BB58 in my collection, I son’t feel the need for this one
Youve got the better watch already (I've got one too!)
Nice to see a review of this! Have you taken the dimensions of it? I'm curious what the lug to lug is! Thanks!
48mm lug to lug

It features the new caliber 400 though. So no Selita on this one.

Hate how quickly it sold out. I was working when it was released, come on, make more. Beautiful watch.

@@watchyoulove Good point. Doing it now
Always loved the oris brand fly's a bit below the radar, unfortunately way above my pay grade, not too keen on anything to do with hodinkee either!
Yes, they just weren't using their heads and lost an opportunity of a lifetime!
nice, but not a diver and $4k, thank you :)
Fair enough!

Looks nice, but...
Looks like the BB58.
Not a diver and definitely not worth that price. Thanks for the video btw.
Looks like a Microbrand watch
Can't call it a dive watch at 100m
The ISO certification depth requirement for diver's watches is currently 100m
@@watchyoulove no pro diver would use a 100m watch

@@drdesign6886 Exactly
@@drdesign6886 For that money should be 200m at least.
