I’ve been looking at adding a diver/sports watch to my collection since my preference is still towards dressier timepieces.

Owner review: Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy

When the Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy watches were announced I was immediately drawn to and curious about the pink version. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to see one in the flesh for a long time though because I live quite far from any AD. During a GTG weekend in Lyon with some…

Owner review: Oris Big Crown ProPilot

As a watch enthusiast that has spent 17 years in the military, I can tell you that most service members have an extreme appreciation for watches.

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition celebrates a cornerstone model for Oris and one that can be arguably credited with saving the brand during the quartz crisis and allowing it to retain its independent status, which Oris enjoys to this day.

Owner Review: Oris Diver 65 – blast from the past that lasts
