The Oris Divers Sixty-Five 40 gets its character from a domed crystal, a slim bezel, and a dial that feels lifted from an old diving manual rather than a modern instrument panel. Introduced in 2015, it revisited an Oris diver from 1965 without copying its dimensions: the 40mm case gives that playful design enough room to breathe.
The original dial’s distinctive 12, 3, 6, and 9 numerals are the version to seek if you want the strongest connection to the early watch; later designs with more conventional markers offer a quieter look. That vintage-looking crystal is sapphire, not acrylic, while the aluminum bezel insert keeps the surface less glossy than ceramic. Inside, the automatic Oris 733 is based on the familiar Sellita SW200-1. One practical distinction matters: despite the diving aesthetic, its 100m water-resistance rating puts it below Oris’s more purpose-built Aquis models.
What owners love
- The heavily domed sapphire gives the dial a depth that’s hard to capture in a straight-on picture. Owners particularly enjoy the distortion around the edge as you tilt your wrist—it’s a big part of this watch’s character.
- It wears noticeably slimmer and lighter than many people expect from a 40mm diver. The relatively thin case and curved lugs make it comfortable for all-day wear without losing that broad, easy-to-read dial.
- On bracelet-equipped versions, the pronounced taper keeps the bracelet from feeling bulky underneath your wrist. It suits the lightness of the watch head rather than making the whole thing feel like a heavy sports watch.
Common Criticisms
- The factory bracelet’s clasp is a recurring weak spot: it feels basic compared with the watch head, and there’s no tool-free fine adjustment. Getting the fit right is less convenient when your wrist changes size during the day.
- The 100m water-resistance rating bothers some owners who would prefer a larger margin from a watch styled as a diver. It’s usually a complaint about the specification rather than a report of water getting in.
