This particular version has a metallic-gray anthracite dial, and Oris also came out with blue and green versions of the Aquis Date Calibre 400 for this round of products. Oris certainly makes both smaller and larger versions of the Aquis, but I agree that the 41.5mm-wide size is universally appealing. In this form, the Aquis has a steel case that is 41.5mm-wide and feels very “medium” on the wrist. That’s because Oris wants to make sure consumers associate the Aquis with a particular look, which I said in a previous review was both conservative (good for sports watches) and distinctive (good for luxury products).
That’s some of the most impressive in the industry and, no doubt, gives Oris’s sales staff some impressive figures to throw around that can’t be beaten by most of the competition.Īt a glance, there isn’t too much that’s different about this Aquis Date as other Aquis Date watches with, say, ETA or Sellita movements. Also very impressive for the Calibre 400 movements is that they have a 10-year warranty with 10-year service intervals. Even with the caseback open like that, Oris still claims decently impressive anti-magnetic performance in the Aquis Calibre 400 products. The movement also operates at 4Hz with a view of the automatic movement through the sapphire crystal caseback of the 300-meter water-resistant case.
Oris does submit these movements for COSC Chronometer certification, but it claims within chronometer-rate performance. Not only that, but it is quite accurate over time for a movement with a long 120-hour power reserve. That metric is, indeed, the primary thing Oris likes to exclaim about the calibre 400 mechanism. The Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 is one of the latest ways Oris is doing this, so let’s check out this very versatile sports watch with a five-day power reserve automatic movement. This success has pushed Oris to creep more aggressively upmarket while strengthening its core value propositions. Oris has been on a roll over the last few years and has been really successful at making consumers happy with watches in the roughly $2,000-$3,000 price segment. I’ve always been a fan of the Oris Aquis (see this aBlogtoWatch review here) as a means of getting into a Swiss Made sports watch that has some distinctive character to it.
Earlier in 2021, aBlogtoWatch helped debut the novel Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 collection that includes a fresh exclusive movement that helps add a lot of value and prestige to the brand’s popular enthusiast-oriented diver’s watch collection.
