The winters are long in the Swiss mountains, and so when spring arrives, giving way to the lush, green, sweet-scented Alpine summer, a ray of warmth floods the Oris factory in picturesque Hölstein.
And now, back by popular demand, Oris presents the new Taste of Summer capsule collection, inspired by the striking colors of a Hölstein summer and based on the brand’s high-performance everyday toolwatch, the Aquis Date.
The Taste of Summer captures that lush, warm feeling, this year with two sizes and dial colors. First, a 36.50 mm piece with a gradient sunrise red-pink dial; and a second, a 43.50 mm variant with a violet dial reminiscent of the fading twilight that lingers long into the Swiss mid-summer night.
Behind these, both models carry the familiar dive watch profile of Oris’ evergreen Aquis Date, an automatic with Oris’ 733 movement and a 41-hour power reserve, a unidirectional rotating bezel with a ceramic (36.50 mm) or tungsten (43.50 mm) insert, indices and hands in Super-LumiNova, a lumed lollipop running seconds hand, a corrosion-free multi-piece stainless steel case and bracelet (with security folding clasp), a sapphire top glass (domed on both sides) with anti-reflective coating inside, a see-through mineral glass caseback, a stainless steel screw-down crown with protection, and water resistance to 30 bar (300 meters).
Performance, versatility, style—and the echo of an endless summer—all on your wrist.
