Oris Waterproof Circa 1970

For sale is an Oris Waterproof, a hidden gem from Oris's rich history that pre-dates the popular Divers Sixty-Five. This vintage piece is a testament to the brand's early innovations in dive watches, offering a glimpse into the heritage that inspired modern classics.

Distinct from the Oris Star and Oris Super, the Oris Waterproof stands out with its cleaner dial and refined typography. It shares the lineage of the Oris Super but elevates it with a more minimalist approach.

This watch is powered by Oris's in-house hand-winding calibre 654 KIF, offering a unique contrast to the 484 KIF found in the Oris Super. The movement underscores the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and precision.

The specimen we have for sale features an immaculate dial adorned with beautiful pumpkin lume, adding a warm vintage touch. The watch case has been replated to protect the base metal, ensuring durability without compromising its classic charm. Both the dial and hands exhibit signs of aging in the lume, enhancing its vintage appeal. The crystal remains in superb condition, showing minimal signs of wear.

The watch is presented on a brand new black rubber tropic strap, perfectly complementing its vintage aesthetic.
