Oris Aquis Date and Sinn U50
“Honey, I shrunk the U1” is the headline of Sinn’s ad for its new U50. And Oris is making a scaled-down version of its Aquis Date. Fortunately, however, these watches haven’t become quite as tiny as the children in the 1989 movie, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. And their larger role models (the 44-mm Sinn U1 and the 43.5-mm Aquis Date) remain in the brands’ portfolios.
The victory march of gigantic watches is over; today’s trend is toward moderately sized timepieces. Sinn and Oris emphasize this with the 41-mm U50 and the 41.5-mm Aquis Date, our test watches. They have responded to their customers’ requests for a more moderately sized divers’ watch. The smaller dimensions of the models presented in 2020 have tangible advantages. These watches are more comfortable to wear, they aren’t so top-heavy, and they’re less likely to get caught on nearby objects, especially the U50, which is only 11.15 mm high.

With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day and in every way
Now forever and ever after."
