Often considered one of the most valuable brands in the entire Swiss-made watch industry, Oris is consistently priced above its price point. Founded in 1904 and based in the Swiss town of Hölstein, Oris is an independent manufacturer that is not part of any large watch-making group. Today Oris only makes fake Rolex watches powered by mechanical movements and the brand is increasingly becoming a favorite among many collectors.
All Oris watches fall into one of four categories, with Oris’ two dive watch collections, the Divers Sixty-Five and Aquis, being the most popular. The Divers Sixty-Five collection consists of vintage-style models that draw heavily on design elements from Oris’ past, while the Aquis collection offers a completely modern design that unique to Oris, the Aquis models offer a higher depth rating than their vintage-inspired siblings.
The Oris Aquis is the brand’s best-selling collection, covering a wide range of models with different case sizes, materials, colors, and complications. Despite the amazing diversity found in the collection, all Oris Aquis replica watches combine for their bold and modern design language, offering a depth rating of 300 meters even on the least water-resistant models in the current collection. While the Oris Aquis has all the features of a professional dive watch, its versatile style and robust construction make it an excellent everyday Rolex replica watch that is perfectly at home both above and below the surface of the sea.
The case size of the Oris Aquis ranges from a compact 36.5 mm all the way up to 49.5 mm and the configurations available include a simple time and date model, a pointer date reference, a chronograph, GMT, day and date, and even a professional version with a built-in mechanical depth gauge. With a budget of between $1k and $2k, you can get all but the most exclusive Oris Aquis models, and with a wide range of sizes and styles to choose from, you can choose something that perfectly matches your recent graduate’s unique style, their aesthetic preferences, and what they plan to do in the next chapter of their life.
