For the first time, Oris has equipped its high-performance Aquis GMT diver’s watch with a bidirectional rotating bezel engraved with a 24-hour scale.
The significance of this is that the watch can now show the time in three separate time zones simultaneously – one via the conventional central hour and minute hands; a second via the yellow-tipped central hand; and a third read off against the bezel.
Its 43.50 mm stainless steel case is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres), it has a screw-down crown with protection, and its range of straps and a metal bracelet all come with extending folding clasps for wearing over a wetsuit.
