Well, today I’m wearing a recent arrival..it’s an Oris Divers 65 12H Calibre 400…the 40mm SS case features Oris’s fairly new Calibre 400, which has a 5 day Power Reserve..and thankfully, a sapphire crystal back that allows one to take the occasional gander at this nice movement(albeit largely undecorated)..

Despite the moniker, it’s really not a dive watch, per se…it only has a 100m water resistance and the bidirectional bezel display hours & not minutes..it’s really a sports, or field, watch..for moi, as I only desk dive, that’s just fine..and I’m a fan of 12 hour bezels as I find them useful in timing events such as BBQs & dog walks..

Initial impressions?...the lume seems a little weak, but I really like the look of the white hour markers and hands on the matt black dial face..and the date window at the 6 o’clock position is nicely done, which means it doesn’t obscure the clean look of the dial..and this movement is uncommonly easy to wind..highly recommended..

Mondaine Retro XL and Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli.

Ooh! I like those watches! One day, I'll actually save some money to buy an Oris and that Mondaine is somewhere on one of my lists.

I doused myself in Tabac Original today...
