Automatic watch oris aquis blue – 44mm, 5 days RDM, Manufacture movement
€ 2,540 – MONTRODO
I am passionate about watches and, believe me, Oris Aqui Automatic Bleu Caliber 400 is a piece that deserves all the attention of demanding watchmaking enthusiasts. As soon as I had it in hand, I knew that I was dealing with much more than a simple diving watch: it is a concentrate of technology and elegance, but above all, its manufacture movement is simply exceptional.
A movement that redefines standards
What fascinates me the most in this Aquis is its 400 caliber, an automatic movement entirely developed internally by Oris. It is not just one movement among others: it was designed to establish a new performance standard in Swiss watchmaking. First, its 120 -hour power reserve – five full days – is simply stunning. Thanks to her two barrels, I can leave the watch on the table for a long weekend and always find it on time, ready to leave.
The precision is also there, with a daily drift of only -3/+5 seconds, which even exceeds the COSC criteria. It is a pleasure to see that Oris is not content to follow the standards, but frankly exceeds them. As a passionate, I am also very sensitive to the question of resistance to magnetic fields, and again, the caliber 400 impresses: it incorporates more than 30 non -ferrous components, including an anchor and an exhaust wheel in silicon, which allows it to resist magnetic exposures much higher than the ISO 764 standard.
Another technical detail that I appreciate: the zipper rotor system, which replaces the traditional ball bearing. This choice reduces wear and increases long -term reliability, limiting the risk of current failures to conventional automatic movements.
A watch thought to last
Oris is so confident in the robustness of its movement that it offers a 10 -year warranty on all watches equipped with the caliber 400, with a recommended interview every ten years only. It is new and reassuring for someone like me who likes to wear his watches without worrying about a frequent passage in the watchmaker.
Aesthetics and functionality
On the design side, the deep blue dial of the Aquis, with its Soleillé reflections and its applied indexes covered with super-luminova, is a feast for the eyes. The readability is perfect, even in diving or in low light. The stainless steel case (or titanium depending on the version), the ceramic telescope and the transparent background that lets the caliber 400 admire, everything breathes quality and solidity.
My passionate opinion
For me, the 400 blue Automatic Aqui Oris is not just a powerful diving watch; It is a demonstration of accessible, reliable and innovative Swiss watchmaking know-how. Its manufacture movement is a real tour de force, combining autonomy, precision, resistance and longevity. This is the watch that I recommend to any amateur looking for a versatile, robust and a movement that really deserves the detour.
What confirms me even more in my choice is to see that the value of this watch has continued to increase from year to year. Whether on the new or second -hand market, the Aqui Oris equipped with the caliber 400 is assessed constantly, carried by the recognition of its technical qualities and the growing demand for collectors. Investing in this watch is not only to have fun with an exceptional timepiece, but also to bet on a safe bet that crosses time with brilliance.
