Bronze Bonanza: Introducing the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Date Cotton Candy White Star Variant

Watches with white dials are popular due to their clean and adaptable design. Usually, a white dial showcases a minimalist style, providing a significant contrast with the watch's hands and indices, thereby ensuring legibility. All such attributes of a white dial watch are perfectly embodied in the latest release from Oris. The new full-bronze White Star edition (Ref. 01 7337771 3151-07 8 19 15) of the brand’s Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy model has a design that is inspired by the sports watch aesthetics of the 1960s. 

Last year, Oris unveiled the Divers Sixty-Five Date Cotton Candy Sepia model in a 38 mm bronze case. Following in the footsteps of Sepia, the new White Star variant has a 38 mm bronze case and a bronze bracelet, along with a more wearable and flexible white dial when compared with the 2023 variant. The timepiece also features a notched unidirectional spinning bronze bezel with a 60-minute scale and a screw-down bronze crown at 3 o’clock, with a domed sapphire crystal covering the dial. 

As with the previous bronze iterations of the Divers Sixty-Five, the material will patinate naturally in time as it oxidises, giving each watch a unique finish that develops according to the wearer’s experience. This aged look can range from golden tones to rich greens and browns. What’s more, bronze is extremely resistant to corrosion, particularly in saltwater conditions. 

The tones of the bronze casing of the new watch are reflected on the eight dotted hour markers, two rectangular ones for 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock, and a shield hour marker for 12 o’clock. These hour markers, along with the hour, minute hands and the lollipop seconds hand, are filled with Super-LumiNova®. The date window is at 6 o'clock and has a white backdrop with black numbers. Powering this addition to the Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy series is the Oris 733 calibre, an automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve. The stainless steel caseback boasts special engravings. The watch is finished on a multi-piece bronze bracelet with a folding clasp. This is a diver’s watch with a 100-metre water resistance.
