    Picture Ready to take the plunge: Oris Aquis Titan Chronograph


    Oris have been producing some great divers in the last few years, and the new Aquis Titan is no excpetion. It's an unusual combination: titanium and tungsten, but it’s the choice of metals for this handsome new watch.

    Robust and durable thanks to the scratch resistant Tungsten Diver’s inlay, Oris’ new 46mm diver is a symbol of strength. The triangle at the zero position, the indexes and watch hands are filled with Superluminova, ensuring the watch face can be easily identified even in bad visibility.

    The automatic helium valve at 9 o’clock position is essential for professional divers operating from a helium filled diving bell. This well protected time-piece also features a screw down stainless steel crown and stainless steel pushers, solid screw down case back with an engraved conversion scale (feet/metres).

    A co-ordinating grey dial and inlay ring ensure the style of the model is in harmony with its endurance. Water resistant to 50 bar/500m and available in a multi-purpose case, the Aquis Titan Chronograph.

    Specifications
    • Automatic mechanical movement ETA 7750 with Chronograph
    • Multi-piece Grade-2-Titanium case construction and crown protection.
    • Matt grey dial, applied indexes filled with Superluminova.
    • Minute and hour counters with Superluminova inlay
    • Tungsten Divers inlaid ring with Superluminova
    • Screw down stainless steel crown and stainless steel pushers.
    • Automatic Helium valve at 9 o’clock.
    • Solid screw down case back with engraved conversion scale (feet/meter).
    • Multi-piece Titanium metal bracelet with double pushers and extension.
    • Water resistant to 50 bar/500m.

    I like it, it's a shame they don't make it in human size.

    That is a beautiful watch indeed. You could say it is the most complete watch available.

    I have the Carolos Coste Cenote LE, which is very similar to the new titan chrono, but with a few minor quirks to differentiate it. Very, very comfy to wear and very sweet movement.

    why Grade-2 Titanium? Grade-5 would be better (& costlier)

    +1 on that.
    I'm tired of all the nice watches being made for Billy Bunter and his mates!!!
    It would be nice if they made one with a view to fitting non mutants!
    Come on Oris, that is one sweet watch but too bloody big!
    How about making it for Bruce Banner instead of the Hulk!!!
    If you won't leave me alone, I'll find someone who will

    Does anyone have release dates for this yet? I've been waiting patiently since it was announced at Baselworld but have heard nothing since.
