We are proudto announce the second chapter of our adventure withindependentwatchmakersOris to bring you the Fratello × Oris Divers Sixty-Five Fratello Limited Edition.Our latest releaseis heavily inspired by whatwe believe is one of the most beautiful vintage Oris watches from the brand's rich historical back catalog, the Oris Star dive watch from 1968.
Oris is a brand that is near and dear to our hearts. Known for producing excellent quality watches that offer excellent value for money, theOris Divers Sixty-Five Fratello Limited Editionis no different. The Divers Sixty-Five is one of Oris’ most popular collections, but us being Fratello, we added our twist and take on it.
Just the right size
We took the Divers Sixty-Five case as the starting point. The 40mm stainless steel case felt like a more 2022-appropriate case size and shape. The 36mm of the original was a bit too small for our modern-day tastes. Those familiar with the Divers Sixty-Five will undoubtedly not be surprised to hear of the nicely proportioned 48mm lug-to-lug or the 13mm thickness. We also have 100m of water resistance thanks to the screw-down crown and caseback.
Keeping things glossy
The dial and its cleanliness are what make this watch sing. We kept the glossy dial of the 1968Oris Star as a nod to the inspiration. We considered a matte finish, but it ultimately changed the watch’s character too much. The trapezium date window also remains, albeit with white printing on a black date wheel to allow it to blend better into the dial as a whole.
We also made sure the hour markers were printed instead of using applied rings for the hour markers. This creates a more subtle and flatter dial, which only helps to highlight the space on the dial. Depth can be a good thing, but here the flatness is refreshing!Finally, those eagle-eyed readers might have noticed that the hour hand slightly differs from Oris’ regular Divers Sixty-Five collection. How? Well, it has the split removed. This makes the hand in line with the 1968 Oris Star. While we have changed and tweaked a few things, there were some things we resolutely refused to switch up — the hand being one of them.
Oris caliber 733
Beating away on the inside isOris’ Sellita-based caliber 733. The key factor in this decision was ensuring this watch remained on the more affordable side of things for the Fratelli. A Calibre 400 may have been more technically impressive. But it would also have excluded more people from getting the Fratelloris 2.0 on their wrists, and we are about inclusivity here at Fratello.
Incredibly versatile
Incredibly versatileA vintage-inspired watch needs a vintage-inspired strap. As such, we chose one of Oris’ lovely black calf leather numbers with a simple white side stitch. Before someone points out that a dive watch and a leather strap are not a match made in heaven, bear with me. The leather is for dry activities. You can switch over the additional strap we have included for a little water-based fun. Thanks to the quick-release springbars, fitting the black Tropic strap is a breeze.
