Oris is pleased to introduce a pair of high-functioning, highly elegant diver's watches made for ladies, the new Oris Aquis Date and Aquis Date Diamonds. Like sirens of the sea, both shimmer and entice, complementing the elegance of a woman's wrist, while delivering on the promise of performance under pressure.

The New Oris Aquis Date
The redesigned Oris Aquis Date has a slenderer, more elegant silhouette thanks to its thinner horns, case and bracelet‍

Both watches conform to the next generation of Aquis watches introduced at the spring Baselworld watch fair earlier this year. Oris's designers deliberately set about refining the Aquis case so that it would be slenderer and more stylish. The same ambitions have been applied to the Aquis Date and Aquis Date Diamonds, both of which feature a thinner case, horns and bracelet, and subtler crown protectors. The updates combine to create a watch with a more streamlined, more elegant silhouette.

The changes aren't simply aesthetic. The 36.5mm case and bezel have been reengineered so that there is now a small gap between the two. This makes the bezel easier to grip and adjust when setting the watch to measure dives times. Despite the extra pressure this might appear to put on the case architecture during a dive, this evolution has left the watches' performance unaffected. Both models are still water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres), and both still feature uni-directional rotating bezels that can only be accidentally adjusted to make the dive time measured shorter, thus protecting a diver during a timed dive.

Both new models are available with a variety of dial, strap and bracelet combinations. The Aquis Date has a scratch- and fade-resistant white or black ceramic insert, while the Aquis Date Diamonds has a tungsten bezel and a dial set with 11 diamond hour markers. The latter has a sparklier, more glamorous feel as a result.

Diver Watch

The Aquis Date and Date Diamonds demonstrate that with the right approach it is possible to create a feminine diver's watch,' says Oris Chairman Ulrich W. Herzog. 'The next generation case design is naturally more elegant, which you can really see in this smaller case size. We're extremely pleased with the way this watch turned out and are confident it will appeal to a new generation of female watch buyers looking for a high-quality, high-functioning wristwatch that also expresses their love of style and design.
