As you can probably see from the above pictures, much of the quoted thickness comes from the super cool domed sapphire crystal, which isn’t really noticeable on wrist. The case back sticks out as well, but on wrist, sinks in and isn’t noticeable at all. So really what you see is that super slim mid-case. Even the bezel seems to melt away, probably because of the black coating. I’d argue that the Oris Sixty-Five could be the perfect go anywhere, do anything, or GADA, watch: it’s slim and fits under any shirt cuff, it’s got more than enough water resistance (as long as you’re not actually scuba diving), and it’s literally one of the best strap monsters out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It Looks Good On Pretty Much Any Strap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve worn this watch on pretty much every strap imaginable, and have struggled to find one that the Diver’s Sixty-Five doesn’t look good on. If it doesn’t look good on a strap, maybe it’s the strap that’s ugly. I even tried it on a Horween shell cordovan rally strap at one point, and it didn’t look out of place. Below are my three favorite combos: the oem tropic strap, oem bracelet, and finally, a Horween chromexcel strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  When I first received the watch as a gift from my wife on our wedding day, the bracelet didn’t even exist yet. Oris only offered it on the tropic strap, canvas strap, or NATO I believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  So the watch was presented on the very nice tropic strap seen above. This is still the option I think fits the watch best. It just feels natural. I wore the watch on our honeymoon in Rome and Zurich, and it never really felt out of place. It’s one of the best straps I’ve handled – it’s extremely comfortable, looks good, and jibes well with the watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Probably 90% of the time, however, my Oris Sixty-Five lives on its bracelet. I purchased the bracelet separate in 2020, and the versatility it injects into the watch is priceless. It turns it into a true GADA watch. It’s good enough to the point where I find myself being one of those mythical “one watch” guys for pretty much all summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  It Could Easily Be My Only Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  I have owned, and subsequently flipped, many watches throughout my time in this addiction<\/s> “hobby”. Many of these watches cost anywhere from twice as much to five times as much as the Oris Sixty-Five, and yet, the Oris is the one watch that I’ve bonded with the most. If I was looking at cutting down to the bare necessities – A diver, a chronograph, and a dress watch – the Oris Sixty-Five would definitely take the slot allocated to a diver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
