Aquis Case and Dimensions
This second edition builds on the success of the first New York Harbor Limited Edition, but now arrives in a slightly larger 43.50 mm stainless steel case. The watch measures 13.10 mm in thickness with a 51 mm lug-to-lug, offering a bold wrist presence while still maintaining the ergonomic design the Aquis line is known for.
The case is complemented by a stainless-steel bezel with negative relief numerals, providing both durability and the sporty aesthetic associated with the Aquis collection.
Dial and Aesthetic
The standout feature of this new model is its Aqua Green mother-of-pearl dial. The natural iridescence of the dial surface creates a unique appearance on every piece, reflecting shades that shift under different lighting conditions. It’s a fitting choice for a watch that draws inspiration from New York Harbor and the marine life the project seeks to protect.
Movement
Inside, the watch is powered by the Oris Caliber 733, based on the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. It offers date functionality and a 38-hour power reserve, ensuring dependable performance for everyday wear.
Caseback and Limited Edition Details
The solid stainless-steel caseback is engraved with a commemorative motif honoring the Billion Oyster Project. Each watch is individually numbered as part of a limited run of 2,000 pieces.
Bracelet and Strap Options
The watch is delivered on a stainless steel bracelet, but also includes a color-matched rubber strap with a deployant clasp. This versatility allows wearers to easily transition between a more refined or sporty look.
Price and Availability
The Oris Aquis Date New York Harbor Limited Edition II is priced at € 2,550. Proceeds from the sale contribute to the Billion Oyster Project’s efforts in reef building, oyster shell recycling, and education programs.
