In exciting news, Oris has launched its all-new Aquis Date ‘Taste of Summer’ watches! This capsule collection draws inspiration from the striking colours of a Hölstein summer. It’s also based on the brand’s high-performance everyday tool watch, the Aquis Date. The winters are long in the Swiss mountains, and so when spring arrives, giving way to the verdant, sweet-scented Alpine summer, a ray of warmth floods the Oris factory. The Taste of Summer captures that feeling, this year with two sizes and dial colours. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the design details and discover what sets these standout timepieces apart. Let’s dive in!
Core Features of The All-New Oris Aquis Date ‘Taste of Summer’ Watches
While the colour and some materials of the watches differ, the design elements remain consistent across the entire collection. Beneath the domed sapphire crystal, with an internal anti-reflective coating, each watch features a dial that captures the glowing hues that light up Hölstein at either sunrise or sunset. Applied baton indices and hands with a Super-LumiNova coating enhance visibility, while the date aperture at 6 o’clock adds both function and flair. Framing each dial is a multi-piece stainless steel case, a unidirectional rotating bezel and a screw-in crown. Not only do these details enhance the practicality of the watches, but they also add to the diver-style design.
Each timepiece houses the Oris Calibre 733 automatic movement, featuring a fine timing device, stop-seconds function, and a 41-hour power reserve for dependable, accurate timekeeping. The design of these summer specials concludes with a multi-piece stainless steel bracelet and a folding clasp. Moreover, with water resistance up to 300 metres, they’re ideal for sun-filled adventures and everyday wear alike.
The All-New Oris Aquis Date ‘Taste of Summer’ Watches
Oris Aquis Date ‘Taste of Summer’ Automatic (43.5mm) Violet Dial / Stainless Steel Bracelet
Inspired by the light that lingers into the mid-summer night, this timepiece features a violet dial with a sunray-brushed finish. The dial also features applied indices and hands with a Super-LumiNova coating. Steering away from the typical colour-matched date disc seen on the Aquis watches, the date aperture on this model sits against a black background. A 43.5mm stainless steel case and a unidirectional rotating bezel frame the dial. The bezel features a tungsten insert and a white scale to mark the 15-minute segment and the numerals at 10-minute intervals. Oris’ 733 automatic movement powers this timepiece, and for an added touch, the wearer can view it through the mineral crystal case back. A stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp concludes the sleek and stylish design of this summer-inspired timepiece.
Oris Aquis Date ‘Taste of Summer’ Automatic (36.5mm) Pink Dial / Stainless Steel Bracelet
With a gorgeous gradient finish, the pink-red dial mimics the glow that makes the Hölstein horizon simmer on summer mornings. The dial exhibits applied indices and hands with a Super-LumiNova coating, so you can read the time in low-light conditions. The dial also features a date aperture with a white background at 6 ‘o’clock; further adding to the practicality of the timepiece. Measuring 36.5mm in diameter, a multi-piece stainless steel case frames the dial. On top of this sits a unidirectional rotating bezel, with a ceramic insert, and a screw-down crown that aids the watch’s 300 metres of water resistance. Powering the watch is the ever-precise Oris 733 automatic movement, boasting a 41-hour power reserve and visible through the exhibition case back. A stainless steel bracelet that fastens with a folding clasp completes the sunrise aesthetic of the watch.
