Oris Aquis Date 41.5mm Green

About This Watch

The Oris Aquis Date 41.5mm Green is the quintessential modern Oris — a dive watch that punches well above its weight class in terms of design, build quality, and value. The sunburst green dial has become one of the most sought-after colorways in the affordable luxury dive segment, shifting between deep emerald and bright lime depending on the light. At 41.5mm with a compact lug-to-lug of 49mm, it wears beautifully on most wrist sizes, avoiding the oversized proportions that plague many dive watches in this category. The ceramic bezel insert is color-matched to the dial, creating a cohesive look that rivals offerings costing three times as much. Oris, headquartered in the village of Hölstein in the Swiss Jura, has been making watches since 1904 and remains one of the last truly independent Swiss watch manufacturers — meaning every design decision is driven by watchmaking passion rather than corporate shareholders. The Sellita SW200-1 base movement is a proven workhorse, hacked and hand-winding capable, delivering reliable timekeeping within COSC-adjacent accuracy for most examples. The 300-meter water resistance, screw-down crown, and solid construction make this a genuine tool watch equally at home on a dive boat as in a boardroom. The integrated bracelet design with its distinctive Aquis link shape provides excellent wrist presence while remaining surprisingly comfortable for extended wear. For the money, few watches offer this combination of Swiss independence, ceramic bezel, and versatile sizing.
