In a world where fine watchmaking increasingly intersects with purpose, Oris remains a standout. The Oris Aquis Yangtze Jiangtun Limited Edition is more than a striking dive watch; it’s a statement of commitment. Inspired by the mighty Yangtze River and created to support efforts to protect the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (Jiangtun), this limited edition brings together robust Swiss engineering, thoughtful design, and meaningful environmental action in a way only Oris can.
Oris Aquis Yangtze Jiangtun Limited Edition
Built on the proven Aquis platform, this limited edition feels both purposeful and contemporary. The stainless steel case preserves the model’s confident proportions and impressive water resistance, staying true to its tool-watch heritage. Subtle design cues tie the watch to its conservation mission. The green-blue mother-of-pearl dial reflects the waters of the Yangtze River, shifting gracefully with the light. Moreover, a wave pattern adds a distinctive touch, inspired by the echo sound waves of the Yangtze’s high-frequency clicks. At six o’clock, a discreet date aperture provides everyday practicality without disturbing the dial’s balance.
Inside is a reliable Swiss automatic movement offering a 41-hour power reserve. Special engravings pay tribute to the Yangtze finless porpoise and emphasise the watch’s limited-edition status. Each piece is individually numbered, reinforcing its exclusivity and intent. True to the Aquis line, functionality remains paramount, with a unidirectional ceramic bezel, strong legibility, and a robust bracelet designed for everyday wear.
This watch stands apart for what it represents beyond measuring time. Oris has a long-standing commitment to protecting aquatic ecosystems around the world. And this release directly supports efforts to safeguard the Yangtze finless porpoise and its fragile habitat. With fewer than 1,000 individuals believed to remain, raising awareness and funding has never been more important.
This limited edition embodies a modern approach to luxury. It combines refined craftsmanship with everyday functionality and a clear sense of purpose. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it offers more than a beautifully made timepiece; it offers a meaningful way to contribute to conservation.
