Oris has introduced the new Aquis Date Diamonds timepiece to its Aquis collection of diver’s watches. This time, however, the watch is set with lab-grown diamonds, a first for the Hölstein, Switzerland-based watchmaker.
The 48 Top Wesselton brilliant-cut lab-grown diamonds on the bezel are the main attraction. A total of 44 diamonds of the same quality are set into the dial. The total weight of the VS1 diamonds is 1.2 carats. Aside from the eye-catching diamonds, the watch has a 41.5 mm stainless steel case and a vibrant cherry red dial.
The Oris 733 modified Sellita movements have a 36-hour power reserve and are water resistant to 300 metres. The watch is also available with a cherry red rubber strap for a more sporty look.
While not as well-known as Rolex or Omega, Oris watches may offer the best value in the Swiss-made watch industry. And Oris’ new Aquis Date Diamonds watch appears to carry on the 119-year-old tradition of thoughtful design with high-performance materials, delivering real-world functionality in an innovative package.
The Aquis Date Diamonds watch is currently available for $5500 USD with a rubber strap and $5700 USD with a stainless steel strap. Check out the new watch on the company website.
