Oris Divers Sixty-Five Bronze Cotton Candy Dial

Bronze watches have historically been one of the oldest metals to be used by since the old ages, however the creation of a bronze watch is a relatively new development. Quick to catch up in terms of popularity after a few pioneering brands released their new bronze watch babies which shall be discussed for another time. 

Oris announced their Divers Sixty-Five “Cotton Candy” watches at Watches & Wonders back in 2021 and immediately it gathered a huge interest, why is that so? It’s a mixture of factors, but the colorful, playful dials definitely has the biggest part to play in it. Very few brands have managed to release pastel colored dials, least to say to pull it off gracefully. Without further ado, lets move on to the specifics.

CASE

The surrounding ergonomics of the case is straightforward, you won’t find any bevelings or complicated edges and the finishing is straightforward with polished case sides and brushing on the top of the lugs. At a well proportioned 38mm we believe its designed to fit both the average asian and caucasian wrist size perfectly. Put it on your wrist and whether you are a man or woman you’ll find the watch strikes the perfect balance between robust muscular presence and elegant wearability. Having tried it on personally you can believe that.

Dial

You'd best believe it but once you start wearing this baby on your wrist, you'll notice that people's gaze will naturally start to wander onto your wrist thinking its a full rose gold watch, in addition to the Cotton Candy Dials, i must say its definitely a conversation starter. Oris have definitely hit the homerun with the three variation colored dials all of which stirs up nostalgia with images from childhood candy. 

Bracelet

The Oris Diver's bracelet is definitely one of the well thought out and produced bronzed bracelet of all time. It has an obvious taper and feels incredibly light, so much that it sits great on the wrist without compensating for the elegance of it. The clasp is impressively slim and unobtrusive, and the best part is it has the old style micro adjustments where using a toothpick or sorts will be enough to have a quick change to the size. 

Ending thoughts would be Oris is most definitely on route to making a statement in the watch world. I would love to see Oris come out with new experiments and releases similar to this. Overall it is a huge success in my opinion and i hope to all viewers to give it Oris watches a try.
