Oris: How we brought a divers watch back to life (2022)

As anyone who dives regularly will appreciate, the underwater world is beautiful, but harsh. Diver’s watches, as with any diving gear, take some serious punishment in the depths, which is why we always recommend regular servicing and water-resistance checks if you’re a frequent diver. This Aquis Date was returned to us after years of activity a little worse for wear. We stripped it back, replaced the gaskets and the crown, checked over the uni-directional rotating diver’s bezel, and breathed new life into it. A proper deep clean. Now it’s ready to dive back in. Have you kept your diver’s watch in good nick? Is it ready for your next trip? Let us know and we’ll be glad to help.
