Diving Reaches New Depths


The Oris Aquis Depth Gauge

Renowned for producing specialist diving watches, Oris is


proud to introduce the new Oris Aquis Depth Gauge. At the
forefront of mechanical watch innovation, Oris has
harnessed its knowledge, expertise and craftsmanship to
produce the first divers watch which measures depth by
allowing water to enter the timepiece.

Revolutionising the world of professional diving, where safety


and protection are paramount, Oris' engineers have applied the
Boyle Mariotte Law to the patented Oris Aquis Depth Gauge.

The special sapphire crystal, 50% thicker than an average top


glass, features a channel milled into the side which runs

On descent, the air inside the channel is compressed by the


surrounding water pressure, allowing water to enter through the
inlet at 12 o’clock. The edge, in light grey and dark grey,
differentiates between water and compressed air on the scale
around the outside of the dial, indicating depth while descending
or ascending.

Diver safety is crucial, and Oris' innovative depth gauge ensures


accurate depth measurement. The indicator benefits from no
inertia, not delaying the accurate and actual depth indication –
particularly useful in decompression breaks in lesser depths.
