The Aquis is a solid watch with a unique design. A very good choice for a rugged mid-tier watch. You don't get much more when you move up to the next tier. You will rarely see other people wearing this watch in the real world. Depending on how you feel about being a little different, this could be a good thing. I am that kind of person.

I have just turned 50 and it’s tradition in my family to get a watch for your half century. My wife bought this beautiful exact watch in green on the steel bracelet. I love my watches and have five ‘luxury’ pieces. 3 Omega, 1 Ball and this. I can’t believe how right she got it. I love this Watch so much two of the Omegas have gone up for sale. Everything you said in this video I agreed with, its subtly over engineered and slightly under the radar. Love it. My favourite watch.

One of the nicest watch reviews I have ever seen. I really like the way how passionate you talk about this great watch and how you mention other things like memories and why you choose this watch. Two months ago I bought this green Aquis with the metal bracelet and I really love it. Not only I talk as passionate about this Oris as you, I also share your opinion about how great it is that Oris makes really good watches without extreme prices, just by letting Sellita make the movement and put the focus on other stuff. I have been an owner of a 2010 Omega Seamaster for the past 8 years, but still I went for the cheaper brand Oris for my new watch. I like the philosophy and honesty of this brand. I mean, for this price you get a watch with the best saffier crystal and ceramic bezel. The way it looks is so nice, so high end. Oris is a great brand. Again, very nice review!

Hey, So have you enjoyed the watch and how would you rate it today?

Hi Carl, while I’ve seen a number of your fine videos, i just stumbled across this review of your new Oris Aquis Watch with the beautiful green face. Ironically, I am in the market for a new watch and and am zeroing in on a green face watch with a leather (or rubber) band. I’ve found an embarrassingly reasonable priced Citizen watch which can be found on sale for just over $200.00. My point is, I can certainly relate to your interest in a particular aspect of a watch such as its color which doesn’t impact its functionality. I think you selected a great watch and hope you get many years of use and associate it with many fond memories such as the time with your son during and after his birth. Congratulations on the birth of your son, and your new timepiece.

Oh I’m a sucker for a blue dial! I knew you had great taste, being a fellow percussionist and all.

I agree on all your statements! I have. Few Citizens, they’re fine, quite beat up & need work on the crystals to make them look respectable again. I’ve been wanting the original oris diver date for years. Then this green came out with a ceramic bezel! I’m actually now open to a few alpina models & Sinn (slightly out of my price range). Yet as much as I keep looking at alpina, Sinn or a Longines Hydroconquest, I keep wanting the oris more. So right about having it for years. I get excited to think I can pass this down to my kids (when the wife & I have a few) as a family heirloom. I want to look further into Jomashop with Affirm however I have a local jeweler that carries both alpina & oris. They’re a great company too. What do you think of the Longines HydroConquest & the Alpina Seastrong?

I just bought the Clipperton blue dial version this watch. Absolutely gorgeous! Glad it has the rubber strap. I don't like metal bands. I still wear my G-Shock GW9300 for outdoor work and play, but this Oris is on my wrist the rest of the time. Great video!!

As I'm about to make my first attempt into entry-level luxury, I'm seriously considering this one but was also contemplating of getting the 62MAS inspired Seiko SPB14X series. I don't dive but has always been leaning towards dive watches because the extra water resistance offer some sort of assurance that I don't have to worry much about getting them in the water. Putting budget issue aside, do you think I'll be a lot happier with this instead of the SPB?

Nice review of the Aquis! I bought a Clipperton LE last month, but am waiting until my September birthday to open it. (Argh!) It sounds like you have experienced more expensive watches in the past -- how do you feel about the quality of your Aquis in comparison to the Rolexes that you have worn?

@CarlMurawski

6 жыл бұрын

The finishing and refinement isn't quite on par with the Rolexes I've owned, but is definitely in the same league as Omega. That said, I think that to tell the difference you'd need to have handled each extensively, but even then I'm not sure it's worth the extra cost. I do love the fact that Rolex is built entirely in-house and has a very special place in horology, but owning one certainly has its downsides too. I've come to realize that I enjoy my Weekender as much as my Air King and begun to question what "value" really means.

The Glas on the back is mineral glass. I was at an Oris Store in Switzerland. They explained that it's because of their philosophy. Low Premium Segment Watches for affordable prices. So they have to go with external movements and mineral glass on the back for price reasons. Another thing is, the glass on the back normally isn't exposed to shocks, no way of damaging the glass, so why using sapphire glass anyway!?

how about accuracy? i heard its not good

Love the review. Such good information for those who are not watch enthusiasts. It is one of those watches for those that feel a Rolex is genuinely out of reach. Don't try and save up for that amount if you honestly think the cost is offensive. It is 70% of the sub. I've since got a hulk and if I'm honest, I've got it because i felt it was an opportunity to enjoy it and hold on to it. My Oris is almost on par with the Hulk on accuracy. So....is it worth it? Is it only worth it if I want to sell it on? I love the Oris. Looking back, is the sub worth it?. It's only ok if a sub means nothing to you and you can "get over" the Hulk, otherwise, it will never replace something that is only 30% "not quite as good". I even prefer the Oris green. Have fun deciding. Try on the Oris. It really is so good..

I prefer the older molder. I bought it a while back and I still love it.

Yes the green aquis next purchase.Ive have the bigger version with the small date 46mm with the rubber strap that vanilla scent when i open my watch box is just perfect( time and effort) should be Oris new saying.

Hmm first time viewer let’s see how this goes. Wow I like this, smooth tunes, nice macro shots and.... “HI GUYS!! WELCOME BACK!!!!” 🤣 Good vid though 👍

Personally, Oris is much better than Rolex.. To me, luxury means Audemars Piguet royal oak, Patek philippe nautilus or Vacheron Constantin overseas chronograph.. Rolex is in demand by man in the streets who have a habit of flipping it, that is the reason why there's lots of used Rolex in the market..
