A tool for changing the band and a water-resistant box also come with every watch. The standard version has no coating on the case or clasp and comes with both a black rubber strap and a stainless steel bracelet. Its fold-over safety clasp has the same black coating, and the yellow strap can be switched out for a black one that also comes with the watch. The Aquis Depth Gauge Yellow, with a bright yellow rubber strap, has a tungsten bezel and a stainless steel case coated in black. The bezel is made of ceramic on both the standard and chronograph versions. The hands, indices, and zero marker on the bezel all have a layer of luminous material so you can keep track of your dive time and time of day, even in the dark or on deep dives. Their large size also guarantees readability in the underwater environment they were intended for. Thanks to their relatively small lugs, the Oris watches still fit on a normal-sized wrist. At 48 mm, the Depth Gauge Chronograph is in the same weight class as the largest diving watches from Panerai. Even by modern standards, the 46-mm three-hand version is big, and it's not even the largest model. The size of the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge alone is enough to make it stand out. ![]() That being said, this is not much cause for concern since very few recreational divers ever go much deeper. Past 30 m, it becomes difficult to properly determine your depth. The scale then becomes less accurate up to 30 m. Due to physical constraints, the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge is only exact up to 10 m. A conversion chart engraved on the case back also makes it easy to convert between meters and feet. One major advantage of this type of mechanical measurement is that it displays depth in real time while other methods have a delay. This compressed air, along with a scale from 1 to 100 m around the edge of the dial, allows you to determine your depth. Since water pressure increases with depth, the air in the channel becomes compressed. Simply put, the law states that the volume of gas decreases as pressure increases. The patented depth gauge uses the Boyle-Mariotte Law to measure depth. ![]() Those looking for a diving chronograph will find what they're looking for in the Aquis Depth Gauge Chronograph. In addition to its blue sunburst dial, this diving watch has an orange rubber strap and an orange depth scale. It had a limited run of 50 pieces and was developed by Oris in cooperation with the watch trade magazine Chronos. You can monitor your dive times the traditional way by using the unidirectional bezel, which comes in ceramic on the model introduced in 2013.Ī highlight of this collection is the Aquis Depth Gauge Edition Chronos. A small air bubble inside the channel shows the current depth with the help of a scale. Water flows into a small channel carved in the glass and compresses the air. ![]() The Oris Aquis Depth Gauge is the first watch in the world that allows water in for measuring depth underwater.
