A Modern Reinterpretation

The Divers Sixty-Five 60th Anniversary Edition has been unveiled by Swiss luxury mechanical watch manufacturer, Oris, marking six decades since the introduction of its first dive watch in 1965.

Originally designed with a stainless-steel case, bi-directional bezel, and clear, legible dial for underwater exploration, the Divers Sixty-Five quickly became a favourite among divers and adventurers alike. Today, Oris celebrates this legendary model with a modern reinterpretation that remains faithful to the original while offering updated features for contemporary tastes.

The 60th Anniversary Edition features a 40mm stainless steel case, a bi-directional rotating bezel, and a Swiss-made automatic movement. It preserves key design elements from the original, including large luminescent numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock; the anti-shock label at 6 o’clock, and the nostalgic retro Oris logo with the word ‘waterproof’ beneath it. The edition also comes with an additional leather strap and a case back engraved with special anniversary markings.
