I love it. Might get me to dip my toes into oris again. This one is also probably illegal in Malaysia.

Meh

An overly complicated complication.

In my quite adamantly overruled outvoted opinion, dive watches should not have date functions.

In the case of this Aquis, if one really thinks they are necessary, they should not be so hard to read. We're talking about air supply here.

A conventional date window would have been better, as would be a big second hand, so, no.

Definitely good to know what day one will run out of air.

What a mess.

Agree. Even Rolex and Tudor Submariners with date function are fashion to me. Not that I don't own them. . . .

Fuck you haterz, it's weird... and that's enough to make it cool. At least, to me.

Meh

If it has a date display but you can't read the date display, does it actually have a date display? In diving, the seconds hand is there to verify the watch is running, no? is that not possible to do with the second hand as presented?

You guys are thinking too fucking hard.

How's the lume?

Oris is on my shitlist after I bought a brand-new Aquis and the clasp wouldn't stay shut. I wrote Oris design/production chief detailing the problem, which I suspect was a factory defect. His response (in essence): Tough shit.
My response (literal): Fuck you. And I'll tell the story any time and every time I can.
Doing it now.
Beware!
Oris is no different than Invicta or Doxa. Sleezeballs. Avoid the brand like the plague it is.
