The Oris Divers Date Collection Expands With New Olive Green Dial

In the past few years, we’ve seen Oris go about revamping some of its most iconic model families, giving them a contemporary freshening up while maintaining the core identity. Back in 2024, the brand honed its focus on its Dive watch offerings, launching the Divers Date as a bona fide collection, and, in the process, began phasing out the Divers Sixty Five line. This effort has been an undeniable success, but while the ProPilot Date Line was the most recent to get full attention, the core Divers Date hadn’t been expanded since its initial launch. Until today, that is. Now, the newest member of the permanent Oris Divers Date collection joins the family, made distinct with its matte olive green dial. It’s a diver arriving just in time for summer, with good looks ready to take on any season. 

Dial Details

It’s no secret that green has been selected by the watchmaking gods as the 21st century's new favorite hue. I would go so far as to argue that it's so prolific, it's becoming a neutral at this point. But rather than going with a shade that inspires thoughts of shamrocks or leans toward aqua, Oris has gone with a khaki olive color here, which is detailed to be inspired by vintage military equipment. And, I have to say, it looks pretty darn handsome. Statement-making, but not so much so that those who are a little hesitant about bright dial colors will be put off. 

This new colorway joins the previously established staple trio of Divers Date models: blue, black, and taupe-grey. The unidirectional black bezel is also indicative of the upgrades the collection introduced, with the bezel insert being made of hard-wearing ceramic. Like its family members, we’ve got the luminous pips and geometric markers detailing the hours, a rectangular date window at six o’clock, and a lollipop seconds hand for added vintage charm. 

Case And Wear 

Much of the success of the Divers Date has been due to its wearing specs and subtle upgrades, all of which still remain true for this release. Measuring 39mm, the case is right in the sweet spot, directly in between the two sizing options of the Divers Sixty-Five collection. Lug-to-lug, the case measures 46mm, and, including the domed sapphire crystal, the total case height measures 12.1mm. One of the main upgrades the Divers Date introduced was a doubling of its depth rating (compared with the 100 meters of the Divers Sixty-Five collection) to 200 meters, which holds steadfast here as well, of course. 

Out of the box, the Divers Date comes paired with the three-link stainless steel bracelet, with plenty of vertical brushing to complement the case, and an additional black rubber strap. Thankfully, we’ve got a quick-change mechanism to keep the switching between the bracelet and strap fuss-free. 

The Movement 

Across the Divers Date collection, we’re working with the Oris Caliber 733-1 under the hood. Based on the Sellita SW200-1, this automatic movement has a 28,800 vph, 26 jewels, and has a power reserve of 41-hours. And, yes, we can see the movement in action, along with the brand’s poppy red rotor, through the exhibition caseback. 

Final Thoughts

I’ve been a fan of the Divers Date since Oris dropped it, and I have been patiently waiting to see how the brand would continue to riff on the collection. This olive green rendition feels right at home alongside the other core models and aligns with the aesthetic direction Oris is going in, writ large. 

This take on the Divers Date is available now and priced at $2,800. For more information, visit the brand’s website here.
