Oris Introduces Its Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph

(PRESS RELEASE) Oris introduces a fresh expression of the mid-century-inspired Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph, its ever-popular retro diver’s watch. The new model has a smaller 40 mm case and a refined monochromatic dial design, and comes with the option of a black leather strap crafted in sustainably sourced deer leather by our Swiss partner Cervo Volante or a stainless steel metal bracelet. The base design echoes our first diver’s watch of 1965, a visually pared-back but highly competent piece that captured the spirit of an exciting new era when recreational diving was becoming increasingly fashionable. The two-counter chronograph’s silhouette is defined by its sweeping lugs, muscular uni-directional rotating bezel and distinctive vintage chronograph pushers, while it’s powered by an automatic mechanical movement with a 48-hour power reserve.

Dear Friends,

Oris is pleased to introduce a fresh expression of the mid-century-inspired Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph, our ever-popular retro diver’s watch.

The new model has a smaller 40mm case, improved proportions with a thickness of 15.4mm, and a refined monochromatic dial design, and comes with the option of a black leather strap crafted in sustainably sourced deer leather by our Swiss partner Cervo Volante or a stainless steel metal bracelet.

The base design echoes our first diver’s watch of 1965, a visually pared-back but highly competent piece that captured the spirit of an exciting new era when recreational diving was becoming increasingly fashionable.

The two-counter chronograph’s silhouette is defined by its sweeping lugs, muscular uni-directional rotating bezel and distinctive vintage chronograph pushers, and it’s powered by an automatic mechanical movement with a 48-hour power reserve.

We invite you to discover the press release and assets below. The new Oris Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph is available now in two versions, with either a leather strap or metal bracelet. It’s priced at $4,200 USD, 5,500 CAD (Leather Strap) and $4,400 USD, 5,800 CAD (Metal Bracelet).

We will have limited samples available for hands-on photography, please let us know if you’d like to take one for a spin. Thank you for your continued support of Oris.

Best regards,

Josh and Team Oris

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
