Oris Divers Sixty-Five Blue?

[Old Expat Beast]

Wow. I was just looking at the Oris 65 on the Oris website and noticed there's a blue version which I had never seen before. Can't really find anything about it on the web. The black one shows a price, but the blue does not. Does anyone know if it is out yet?

Only been announced relatively recently, so I think it’s still early days for it to be in the sales channels.
I doubt there’ll be any price differential, and given the time of year, you should expect to see it sooner rather than later.

Notice Jurawatches have it on their site, and I was right – no price difference.

Thanks. Yes, I guessed the lack of a price just meant no availability just yet. Definitely one for my Christmas list. I was all set for the black, but I like this one more.

Neither colour really grabs me – but topcat30093 had the black one, and sold it recently.

Im pretty surprised they listed the price right on the website. I prefer the original black though, the blue is kind of weird. With it being right beside the grey, it all looks a bit washed out to me.

I think the washed-out look is why I like it...kind of sunbleached old diver thing.

I like it. I was looking forward to seeing this watch in person and now I will add the blue in.

[Judah]

It's definitely a beauty.

[SearChart]

I like the black, but the blue is not my cup of tea.

[AK-Rolestar]

WOW, I like the black dial a lot.

The blue is fantastic too but the black dial will be more versatile if you ever decide to switch up straps or go nuts with the NATOs on that diver.

The vintage blue look is really cool!

Several brands do.

Including Omega I noticed. At least for some pieces.

Adam I know you really like this watch as I do too. I hada chance to pick up a month old black dial last week for a great price. I stumbled across this thread while doing some research. I passed for now.

I'm still hoping to get a new one when I go to Europe in April, Paulie. I like that it seems to fit on a Rolex bracelet above, too! As far as servicing an spares for this one in future, it's just a Selitta movement, so shouldn't be a problem I guess.

As PJ S said, I did have the black dial one and was really impressed with it.
And imo, well worth the money.
I was on the verge of getting another one. But in the end I went with something else.
Wouldn't mind seeing the blue dial one in the flesh :)

How did you find the movement accuracy?

Adam, I am not sure whether I actually checked it.

But it was certainly nothing alarming, that I would have noticed.

Thanks. Still waiting for the Bkack and the Blue to arrive in HK.

Very nice looking watch. The date is quite small. Another cyclops project?

Did you sell it to fund something else Tony or did you fall out of love or find fault with it?

They should have done the bezel insert as well. Looks incomplete to me.

I kinda agree. Since the bezel insert is in black, I am leaning more towards black dial. If the bezel insert is more grey, then definitely go with the blue / grey.

Ok, I found a press release, dated this month, on the Oris website...

[topcat30093]

I liked the watch and it was great to wear. But at the time I had decided to sell everything off. If I hadn't seen the Tudor. I was going to get another one👍🏻

Thank you

[mps354]

I like the look, had been considering the black dial

[texex91]

Very easy to read dial--I like it.

Tried the black on today. Feels very nice on the wrist, light and comfortable. They offered me 25% off right there, but I'm still going to wait for the blue.

Adam,

I tried on the black and blue Oris diver today and it is indeed incredible. If you don't mind me asking how much were you quoted with the discount. My AD is quoting $1830 minus 20%, so about $1465. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bharat,
Very similar numbers here.

Cheers,
