Smile for the new Aquis Chronograph

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 29 August 2024: Following the Aquis Date collection’s successful release, Oris proudly introduces the latest Aquis Chronograph. Managing to combine advanced functionality and clean aesthetics is what makes this model an exceptional contemporary wristwatch for every discerning watch enthusiast.

The new Aquis Chronograph is easily recognizable by its unique ‘smiley face’ design, with sub-counters at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. Developed with the same attention to detail as seen in the Aquis Date, this model provides enhancements both of an ergonomic and aesthetic nature and also in terms of performance features.

Some of the key refinements are a lighter profile for the case and bezel, a more sharply tapered bracelet, and reconsidered dial detailing to enhance readability. Even after these updates, the Aquis Chronograph keeps the iconic shape and wrist presence that has helped make the Aquis line such a popular daily-wear companion.


It features a screw-down crown and protection, unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic insert, and lumed details— all necessary for a high-performance tool watch. Through the sapphire crystal on the back, one will be able to appreciate all the qualities of a good Swiss Made automatic Oris Calibre 771: it reserves energy within itself for 62 hours and stops the second hand when you are setting time. This means that this watch can resist water up to 30 bar (300 meters) without leaking under any conditions.


A hint of elegance is added by the Aquis Chronograph with its gradient blue dial, which elegantly evokes the sun’s rays playing on water — a visual allusion to an effect that is quite stunning. This blend of sophisticated design with robust performance makes the Aquis Chronograph ideal for modern global citizens living in any conditions, be it day or night, rain or shine.
