Oris Divers Seventy-Five
OrisPaying homage to the romanticised era of the 1970’s, Oris has introduced a new member of the Divers collection known as “Seventy-Five”.
Interior decorators will tell you that in the year 2023 spanning into 2024 the 1970’s are back…but why stop just in how your house looks and not carry it onto your wrist. Oris is clearly thinking the same way, with this almost simple but elegant take on their own Divers watch, embracing aspects of the 1970’s in their new design.
Oris has created this watch alongside Collective Horology for the ninth collaboration between these two entities.
Dial of Oris Divers Seventy-Five
OrisThe watch has been created following the success and great reviews of the “sixty-five”, i’ll give you 3 guesses as to why it was called that.
This watch has been designed and created with 1970’s California graphic design in mind. The original Arabic dial has been brought back, with no date and a colour pattern fitting of the decade of the ‘70’s. In a bit of coincidence the company colours are bronze and a steel bicolour both of which are very ‘70’s.
Oris have described this watch as “while never created by Oris in the 1970’s, it very well could have been.”.
