Introducing the latest additions to the esteemed Aquis collection: the new Aquis Date and Aquis Date Upcycle. Representing a blend of modern versatility and everyday functionality, these timepieces bring luxury performance and sophistication to the wrists of today’s global citizens.
Unveiled at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, the new Aquis Date embodies our commitment to contemporary refined luxury. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it caters to individuals who appreciate design, mechanical prowess, sustainable manufacturing, and the independent spirit of Swiss watchmaking. Building on the legacy of our signature Aquis design, this new generation continues the tradition of stylish, reliable, and robust toolwatches, designed to perform flawlessly even in the depths of the ocean.
The flagship Aquis Date Calibre 400 43.50 mm models showcase Oris’s patented Quick Strap Change system and introduce a groundbreaking innovation: the Oris-patented quick adjust clasp system. Meanwhile, we are revitalizing the Aquis Date Upcycle, featuring dials made from recycled PET plastic—a testament to our commitment to sustainability through initiatives like Change for the Better.
In addition to the remarkable timepieces, the new Aquis collection highlights our dedication to sustainability through innovative packaging solutions. As part of the Oris Emissions Reduction Programme, our new modular packaging significantly reduces carbon emissions associated with external logistics, underscoring our commitment to environmental responsibility.
Rolf Studer, Oris Co-CEO, emphasized, “Aquis is the cornerstone of our collection and a symbol of our joyfully sustainable approach to watchmaking. This new generation marks the next chapter in a remarkable story that continues to bring smiles to people’s faces.”
Every aspect of the new Aquis collection reflects a refined expression of contemporary luxury. From the reimagined case to the redesigned bracelet, each detail has been meticulously crafted to achieve a perfect balance of form and function. The uni-directional rotating bezel and ceramic bezel insert have been subtly reproportioned, while the dial features polished shield-shaped applied hour markers and bespoke Alpha-style hands, accompanied by proprietary typography exclusive to Aquis models.
Underneath the surface, new-generation Aquis watches boast date wheels that seamlessly match the dial color for enhanced legibility. Available in 36.50 mm, 41.50 mm, and 43.50 mm variants, powered by the high-quality Swiss Made Calibre 733 automatic movement, these timepieces offer versatility and performance for the modern wearer.
At the pinnacle of the collection stands the Aquis Date Calibre 400 43.50 mm, equipped with Oris’s in-house five-day, anti-magnetic automatic movement, alongside the innovative Quick Strap Change system and the new Oris-patented quick adjust clasp system—a testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence in watchmaking.
