Oris Aquis - Green
Oris Aquis - Green
So I’ve had this for a couple of weeks now and I absolutely love it! The build quality of Oris is very good. The bracelet is fantastic and I simple can’t stop looking at it. The design is very clever and wears well on the wrist.

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
Lovely deep shade of green, ceramic bezel too. Can I ask what size that one is, 43mm?

Yes it’s the 43mm version, the lug design is very clever on the Aquis and wears much smaller.

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
Good to know re how it wears, I must try an Aquis at some point as they do look very well made.
What I've just noticed on your bracelet, rather than a more common PCL, it has polished outer links and a brushed centre link. I have the PCL on my Trident however generally I prefer an all brushed bracelet.

That does look rather splendid, I must say.

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
I really like that shade of green, I am thinking it is as nice or nicer than my Aquis 43 with a blue dial. Hmmm....... could be one to consider for next year maybe.
Congrats on a great looking watch!

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
Very nice indeed. The dial looks to be a very similar green to my Oris 65 and it looks great on the Aquis. I like it a lot.

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
Thanks guys - the green is really nice. I think the best description I had was it's very similar to British racing green

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
This watch is almost a Hulk alternative, slightly cheaper to boot...and a little easier to find for sale.

Hi Patrick, did your spell checker mistakenly correct “significantly” to “slightly”?Thegreyman wrote:This watch is almost a Hulk alternative, slightly cheaper to boot...and a little easier to find for sale.

Alternative? That's preposterous..Thegreyman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 10:33 pm

The Aquis is so much better looking than the Submariner...!

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
It was a tongue in cheek use of the word slightly, I should have used inverted comma around it. I think the Hulk RRP is about 4 or 5 times that of the Oris but the true cost of buying one e.g. Chrono 24 price differential more like 7 or 8 times the price
Haha, well don't tell that to Paul (@stefs). I think they are both great looking watchesnordwulf wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 7:37 amAlternative? That's preposterous..Thegreyman wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 10:33 pm

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
Looks great. I just picked up one of these too - the sunburst dial changes colour in the sunlight (sometimes appearing black). The case is 43.5mm and the (sometimes maligned) lug design allows the bracelet to hang directly down from the springbars instead of curving out and down, and this makes it wear better on smaller wrists (17.5 mine). I took out 5 links - it took me a few minutes - the link screws are so much easier than the pins and collars.
My name is 0uatiOW, but before you ask, no I don’t.

Re: Oris Aquis - Green
I've seen this model in an AD and the way the the light caught the green meant it looked fantastic...
