ORIS

DIVER SIXTY-FIVE

BY KEN NICHOLS

O ris made a splash a few years ago when it reimagined its distinctive tive 1960s diver to create the Diver Sixty Five. The watchmaker followed this success and demand with a larger-cased 42mm cousin. The watch has the same curved sapphire crystal as that earlier 40mm model, but offers a contemporary 42mm case and more dial color options, which makes it a strong competitor in the vintage-like diver category.
