Oris Divers Sixty-Five Momotaro Special Edition Watch

We’ve always got a lot of time for limited edition watches here at The Coolector and especially so when they come from high quality watchmakers like Oris. The Divers Sixty-Five Momotaro Special Edition Watch is available from the Worn & Wound WindUp Store and it is definitely one of the most striking timepieces we’ve seen in a while. Originally released in 2015, the Divers Sixty-Five was Oris’ first effort into heritage diver territory, and a very successful one to say the least.

Pulling from their extensive archives, the Divers Sixty-Five was based on a quirky and distinctly Oris mid-century design that gave the watch a unique look and flavour. This highly attractive and effortlessly cool Oris Divers Sixty-Five Momotaro Special Edition Watch has a price tag of $2200 which is obviously quite a sizeable investment but one definitely worth making if you’re in the market for a head turning watch in 2022.

VISUALLY VIBRANT ACCESSORY

A perfect mix of a large dial, massive crystal, thin bezel, and slim mid-case truly makes the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Momotaro Special Edition Watch stand out from the increasingly crowded sea of vintage-inspired divers and has propelled it into our list of favourite looking watches here at The Coolector. The result was an immediate success, quickly becoming one of the brand’s most popular designs to date. And understandably so.

The Divers Sixty-Five Momotaro Special Edition Watch from Oris ($2200) is a special edition version that has been made in conjunction with Momotaro Jeans of Okayama, Japan. For the collaboration, they created an amazing green gradient dial that fades from a creamy, sea-foam green to a dark gray, giving it a cool, ’50s aesthetic that’s impossible to ignore. The bezel is then solid bronze, which will age over time, taking on green, blue and brown tones that will complement the dial.

With a strap that is a real work of art and created using Momotaro denim, it’s not the sort of watch that is for those who prefer understated timepieces. It’s dark blue with yellow stitch, and features “battle stripes” on one side, which is a signature design element of the Japanese brand. In addition to the strap, the watch comes with a card holder and a watch carrying case, both made out of Japanese denim. It is powered by an Oris 733 / Sellita SW 200 movement which is a 26-jewel Swiss-made automatic with 38-hour power reserve, hacking seconds and a frequency of 28,800bph.
