Ad - Scroll to continue with article Celebrating this new partnership, Oris introduces a special “Movember” edition of its now famous?Divers Sixty-Five, a heritage piece inspired by an Oris diver's watch first introduced in 1965. This watch started its life back in 2015, in 40mm edition, later followed by several variations and case updates: Deauville blue, 42mm bronze “Carl Brashear” Limited Edition, 42mm standard version, Green dials and finally a?silver version. The?Divers Sixty-Five now is a proper member of the collection. This sought-after watch now becomes the basis for Oris to create the?“Movember” edition, with several interesting visual updates.The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition is based on the 40mm version of the “65” with a stainless case, its usual oversized crown and the 60-minute diving bezel with aluminium insert. Yet, several changes for this edition are to be noted. Firstly, the dial has a different layout, inspired by the one found on the 42mm version of this watch – applied dots and batons, instead of a painted dial with a quite retro look. On the other hand, the date remains placed at 6 and not at 3, as on the 42mm edition. Both the indexes and inscriptions on this?Divers Sixty-Five Movember are pink-gold plated,?tying the watch in with Movember's colour palette, and simultaneously creating a unique look within the Divers Sixty-Five collection – with an end result that feels very 1960s, a sort of gilt dial if you want (vintage collectors know…) The hands are also done in the same gold colour.This?Oris Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition has more to show as well, such as a vintage-inspired leather strap with the?Movember logo heat-stamped. An additional?tricolour Bordeaux red, beige and dark brown NATO strap that features the Movember logo on the metal loop. This special edition is delivered in a heritage box, which also comprises a strap-changing tool.On the other side, a 1960s Oris logo is engraved on the steel caseback and is framed by the words Oris Movember Edition' and the Movember Moustache logo. Inside the case is an automatic movement, based on a?Sellita SW 200-1, displaying time via 3 hands and the date.During the month of Movember, Oris will host a series of fundraising events across European cities, including shave-downs, poetry slams, Movember walks and an auction of an Oris Movember Edition. Details will follow via Oris's social media channels and via the hashtags #ORISMOVEMBER and #ORISCHANGEFORTHEBETTER.?Oris will make a donation to the foundation based on sales of the watch.The?Oris Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition is a special but not limited edition, which will be priced at EUR 1,950 / CHF 2,100. And if you don’t really like the moustache logo on the strap, just change it and you’ll end up with what certainly is the coolest version of the?Divers Sixty-Five, with the smaller case and a great vintage design.
