![]() ![]() The most notable difference between these dials and the dials of previous Sellita-powered 41.5mm variants is the 6 o’clock date window. Like the cases, the dials of the new Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 41.5mm series keep the overall look familiar while subtly hinting at the new movement within. Around back, Oris includes a sapphire display window to showcase the new in-house movement, but despite this more vulnerable element the case is rated at a hefty 300 meters of water resistance. The ceramic bezel insert features a bright, legible white diving scale on a base of black, navy blue, or deep forest green. As with previous versions, the heavily toothed unidirectional dive bezel is noticeably wider than the case beneath it, leading to a slight overhang which should aid grip. In practice, the shrink-wrapped profile of the mid-case without any outward flaring coupled with the abrupt downward slant and short reach of the lugs tend to make the Aquis series feel substantially more compact on the wrist than more traditional diver styles. The modern and slightly unorthodox Aquis shape with its slab case sides, heavy wide crown guards, and short angular semi-integrated lugs is shared with previous 41.5mm Aquis models, and like those iterations, the unique proportions of the Aquis may make the case measurements somewhat misleading. Rather than reinventing the wheel, the new Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 41.5mm series lets the performance of its new movement speak for itself while maintaining the classic Aquis look.Īs the name suggests, the stainless steel case of the Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 41.5mm line measures in at 41.5mm. As summer 2021 ramps up and enthusiasts search for a new vacation-ready sports watch, Oris takes the next logical step and brings the Calibre 400 to the smaller 41.5mm Aquis line. As one of the cornerstones of Oris’ lineup the Aquis diver was a natural choice to debut the new movement in late October 2020, but at that time the Calibre 400 was restricted only to full size 43.5mm models. One of Oris’s fundamental ambitions with Calibre 400 was to eliminate problems before they occur.Since its initial debut in fall 2020, Oris’ in-house Calibre 400 automatic movement has been gradually working its way through the brand’s lineup as its new de facto flagship three-hand powerplant. This is the new standard.A more stable rotor system This means that barring accidental damage or water resistance checks, you shouldn’t need to bring in a Calibre 400 watch for a service until 2030 at the earliest. In addition, Oris is also proposing 10-year recommended service intervals on Calibre 400 watches. Oris is so confident in the performance of the advanced technologies integrated into Calibre 400 that we are offering a 10-year warranty on all Oris watches powered by the new movement when you register them at MyOris. It delivers this longer period of use via twin barrels, both of which house an extended mainspring, each long enough to store two-and-a-half days of power.10-year warranty and recommended service intervals ![]() Calibre 400 has a five-day power reserve, so it’ll still be running if you’ve not worn your watch between, say, Thursday and Tuesday. If you put a standard mechanical watch down for a day or two, it will stop as the power reserve runs down. When conceptualising Calibre 400, Oris’s engineers recognised that these days we may not wear the same watch every day. It has a five-day power reserve (120 hours), is highly resistant to magnetism, and comes with 10-year recommended service intervals and a 10-year warranty.Five-day power reserve MOVEMENTĚutomatic winding date developed by OrisįUNCTIONSĜentre hands for hours, minutes and seconds, date window, instantaneous date, date corrector, fine timing device and stop-secondĬalibre 400 is an entirely new movement, independently conceived by Oris, and sets the new standard for automatic mechanical movements.
