I've been wearing this watch for nearly a year and it still makes my heart go pitter-patter every time I put it on. It's the one that started the madness.

Even a vintage watch collector buys a contemporary watch from time to time, especially when it is a well made re-issue.

This is an Oris Divers Sixty-Five modeled after the tiny 1965 diver's watch (then with similar expressive digits on a black dial). The movement is Oris' cal. 733, a variant of the Sellita cal. SW200-1, a clone of the ETA cal. 2824-2.

I love the dial design and this color combination, could do without the date, though. The watch comes on a comfortable soft rubber strap, but I found a perfectly matching G10 - and a shirt.

Enjoy,

Mick

As the ad proclaimed: "The newest thinner sleeker automatic with the invisible crown...."

Changed to a recent favorite. Had to let go of a watch dear to me (Breitling SuperOcean Heritage Chrono) but couldn't pass on the opportunity of getting this on a bracelet!

Picture taken almost exactly 12 hours after the first!

Nice watch and nice photos as usual. I've had my eye on this watch, particularly the blue dial version.
