This is my Diver sixty-five Topper edition—only 100 pieces were produced. It has a few subtle differences from the regular first generation sixty-five:
- Chromed edge of the bezel (instead of all black)
- Orange pip on the bezel (instead of yellow)
- Orange tip of the seconds hand (instead of chrome)
- No line between Oris and Automatic on the dial
- "anti-shock - 26 jewels" on the dial (instead of "water resistant - 10 bar/100 meter)
- Swiss made on both sides of the 6 (instead of on both sides of the date window)
- ...and most strikingly: no date! Oris modified the Sellita SW200 to accommodate this.


The Topper edition is very cool. I wish no date watches were more common.

What do people think of Oris Watches. I have been looking at them on eBay and I quite fancy one but not sure about how good or desirable they are.
The new blue one they have out looked nice and that’s what prompted me to look on eBay.
All opinions welcome.
I have three of them, one is a BC Pilot and another a classic pointer. These watches are work horses. Never a problem. Great style.

I see these painted dials all over certain sites. This one was a local seller so I thought maybe it was legit. Why does India pick this particular watch to do this

These are what they called "Bombay Special"

Not sure if anyone's mentioned these yet. Just released and very cool looking imo.

Oris Chronoris Movember edition. (photo from Web).

My Aquis is getting zero wrist time nowadays and I'm going to take a massive hit passing it on to fund something else but I'm still very very tempted to grab one of these!

Stopped by one of the few Oris AD's listed online (Madison, WI). Was impressed by what I looked at. The green face Aquis is badass.

My Oris bronze Carl Brashear

Question about brass watches in general, are they more delicate due to brass being softer? Love the look.

I don’t think so. I find it harder than steel watches. It’s more susceptible to make scratches on other softer metals than the steel case. It may be due to the rotating bezel with teeth. My personal experience is that I keto it away from my other valuable metals. Oh yes it’s bronze not brass.

Oris is nowadays a very interesting company. I have two, this limited Star Wars Duo, only 250 made (the Stormtrooper version 1300 pieces, sold also separately):

I have also grown to like the Christopher Ward Range. They are very good looking at a reasonable price. I now have 2 if you haven’t yet seen them you must check them out.

Their decent watches . It’s all about what your taste is. If you see one you like go for it!

This Oris is one of a couple of watches I got from my late father. It's seen some rough times and I was wondering if it was worth cleaning up.
