Just over two years ago, Oris came out with a series of watches with a bronze case and a confectionary dial. At the time, the interplay of the pastel-colored watches against such a warm-toned metal was an instant hit for many in the watch world. It was only a matter of time before the Swiss brand would be revisiting the Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy collection and improving upon it.
Today, Oris has launched the much-anticipated follow-up to their 2021 collection with a new set of pieces, this time set in steel. The three colorways of this collection are a charming trio of blue, green, and pink. Still maintaining the candy-like quality of the previous iteration, the steel will definitely have a wider fanbase that, perhaps, couldn’t be sold on the bronze just yet.
Keeping the integrity of the Divers Sixty-Five retro design, the new Cotton Candy collection’s steel case enhances the mod design that’s at once retro and modern. The steel case comes in at a friendly 38mm, the first time the Divers Sixty-Five has been available in this metal at this size in a non-limited edition, which is sure to please many. The easy to wear size makes it great for both men and women who might find the pop of color exciting. Wearers can choose between a steel bracelet or a perlon strap that matches the watch’s dial, giving one the opportunity to keep it subtle or a bit more flamboyant.
The details of this watch really showcase the amount of thoughtfulness that has gone into the design of this collection. The lollipop seconds hand and ever-so-slight date indication both balance out the wide, colorful expanse of the Cotton Candy’s dial.
The watch itself runs on an Oris 733-caliber automatic movement, which is a modified Sellita caliber and has been the standard for this design. Even as a diver that borders on the fashionable, it still has 100 meters of water resistance and a sapphire crystal, making it a durable watch for rugged use.
The Divers Sixty-Five Cotton Candy in steel is available now via the Oris website. The bracelet model retails at $2,550, while the perlon strap model is $2,350. Oris
