About This Watch
The Oris Aquis Clipperton Limited Edition is one of the most celebrated releases in the Aquis collection's history, created in partnership with the Clipperton Expedition to highlight the fragile coral ecosystem of Clipperton Island — a remote French atoll in the Pacific Ocean. Limited to 2,000 pieces, this watch features a stunning gradient blue dial that transitions from deep navy at the periphery to a vivid tropical cyan at the center, representing the varying depths of the coral lagoon that makes Clipperton unique among Pacific atolls. The dial gradient was achieved through a multi-layered lacquering process that required considerable development time to perfect, and the result is one of the most visually arresting dials Oris has ever produced. As part of Oris's "Change for the Better" initiative, a portion of each sale was directed to marine conservation efforts focused on coral reef preservation. The 43.5mm stainless steel case with ceramic bezel insert provides the same robust dive watch architecture as the standard Aquis, with 300 meters of water resistance and the reliable Sellita-based caliber 733 inside. On the secondary market, the Clipperton has appreciated significantly above its original retail price, driven by its limited production and the growing collector interest in ocean-themed dive watches. The caseback features a special engraving of the Clipperton Island ecosystem, adding a commemorative element that connects the wearer to the conservation mission. This is a watch that tells a story beyond mere timekeeping.
