All other classic Aquis dial elements are present here, from the distinctive rounded and lumed alpha hands to the multifaceted applied indices and 6 o’clock date. The dial of the 41.5mm Aquis takes one of Oris’ most attractive current offerings, a deep navy blue sunburst, and adapts it to the new medium size. Like the other sizes in the lineup, the 41.5mm model offers a robust 300 meters of water resistance, and this initial model is topped with a clean and classic black bezel insert. While the 41.5mm stainless steel case is all new, the style still follows the trademark Aquis shape, with thick aggressive crown guards and blocky narrow-set integrated lugs. Both of these numbers are slightly misleading, as the Aquis’ chunky central case and integrated bracelet design cause these watches to generally wear significantly smaller than the numbers suggest. For those unfamiliar, the Aquis has been produced up to this point in two separate case styles: the 43.5mm original, and the 39.5mm midsize offering. The first of the pair, the 41.5mm Aquis, is likely to have a serious impact on Oris’ dive watches in the coming years. These two new additions, a new 41.5mm version of the Aquis and a 39.5mm Aquis with a new “oceanic blue” sunburst dial, take the core Aquis style in drastically different directions, adding even further variety to this already diverse model lineup. For everything from clean large diameter modern divers to ISO approved regulator dive watches to vintage inspired bronze cased dive chronographs, Oris has consumers covered, and as part of its 2020 novelties the brand further extends its Aquis dive watch range with two additional models. One of Oris’ greatest strengths as a watchmaker in recent years is its ongoing effort to create a dive watch for every conceivable enthusiast niche.
