60 Years Of Legacy: Oris Introduces The Divers Sixty-Five Anniversary Edition

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, ORIS 2025, Diver 0

The Oris Divers Sixty-Five 60th Anniversary Edition is a testament to the brand’s enduring legacy, offering a refined nod to the original 1965 model while captivating modern watch enthusiasts. Released exactly seven days after the vibrant Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy edition, this new release pays homage to one of Oris’s most iconic designs. Drawing inspiration from the celebrated 2015 50th anniversary model, this edition brings back a classic design beloved by collectors, presenting a fresh opportunity for fans to own a timeless piece that had been discontinued from the permanent collection.

Crafted with precision, the new Divers Sixty-Five features a brushed stainless steel case measuring 40mm in diameter, 12.80mm in thickness, and 48mm in length. The case design retains the vintage charm of its predecessors, complemented by a bidirectional bezel with a steel frame but now without any coating appearing narrower. The black insert, adorned with a 60-minute scale and a pip lume pip at the 12 o’clock position. The watch is equipped with a double-domed sapphire crystal, a fluted crown embossed with the Oris signature, and a screwed solid case back, ensuring 100 meters of water resistance. While adequate for recreational diving, the water resistance may seem modest for some enthusiasts.

The dial echoes the original 1965 model, featuring a glossy black finish with oversized Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock which like the indexes and hands are filled with old Radium Super-LumiNova, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions. A standout feature of this edition is the removal of the date window, previously positioned at 6 o’clock, restoring a cleaner and more symmetrical design. Additional vintage-inspired details include the “Waterproof” inscription below the Oris logo at noon, and the “Anti-Shock” and “26 Jewels” markings at 6 o’clock, mirroring the original Sixty-Five.

At its heart lies the Oris Caliber 733, based on the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. With 26 jewels, a 28,800 Vph beat rate, and a power reserve of 38 hours, the movement delivers dependable performance, although its specifications remain modest compared to contemporary standards.

This 60th Anniversary Edition is offered on a three-link stainless steel bracelet featuring vintage-style rivets and a folding clasp with the Oris logo. Additionally, a black leather strap with a steel pin buckle is included, providing versatility for different occasions. Priced at € 2,250, this commemorative timepiece blends nostalgia with modern craftsmanship, making it a must-have for collectors and fans of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five lineage.

Unimatic Revisits South Park With The Bold New UT4-SP Modello Quattro

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, Uncategorized, UNIMATIC 2024, Diver, Limited Edition, South Park 0

The Italian watch brand Unimatic has once again teamed up with South Park, the darkly humorous animated series created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, to deliver a new limited-edition timepiece. Following the success of the U1-SS2 editions in 2020 and the U1-EC Eric Cartman model in 2023, the brand now introduces the UT4-SP South Park, a playful addition to its Modello Quattro lineup that blends bold design with pop-culture nostalgia.

Housed in a robust 40mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 12.05mm, the Unimatic UT4-SP South Park features the brand’s signature brushed finish, ensuring a sleek and versatile aesthetic. The watch incorporates functional design elements such as a wide smooth bezel, drilled lugs, and a screw-down crown with protective guards positioned at 3 o’clock. Adding to its durability, the solid screw-down case back is laser-engraved with the four iconic South Park characters Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. With a water resistance of up to 300 meters, this timepiece is built to handle serious underwater adventures while maintaining its collectible charm.

The black dial embraces Unimatic distinctive design language, featuring geometric hour markers outlined with white luminescent material, the same luminous coating applied to the central hour, minute, and seconds hands. Along with a minute track outer edge. However, the true highlight of the dial is the playful depiction of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny lined up at 6 o’clock. Replacing the traditional Unimatic logo, the colorful characters add a lighthearted touch to the otherwise utilitarian design.

Powering the UT4-SP South Park is the reliable Seiko VH31 Mecaquartz movement, known for its impressive precision and functionality. Operating at a frequency of 32.768 Hz, this hybrid quartz movement delivers an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month while maintaining a battery life of approximately two years.

The watch comes paired with a versatile black NATO strap that enhances its sporty appeal.

All components are packaged in Unimatic signature black hard plastic tactical box, with the addition of a commemorative tin case to mark this special collaboration.

Limited to just 200 individually numbered pieces, the Unimatic UT4-SP South Park is priced at € 542. Given the overwhelming popularity of previous Unimatic x South Park releases, this watch has already become a sought-after collectible and will likely sell out immediately upon release.

The Blue Lagoon: Seventh Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathom Unveiled

MRSTATELESS BLANCPAIN, NEW RELEASES, SWATCH 2024, Diver 0

It seems that the Moonswatch phenomenon isn’t the only ongoing chapter in Swatch’s creative journey. Following in its footsteps is the Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms collection, which has just quietly expanded with the introduction of its seventh “species,” aptly named Blue Lagoon. Inspired by the striking turquoise hues of the Tambja mullineri nudibranch, this new release is a vivid addition that brings the underwater world to life.

The Blue Lagoon stands out with its turquoise Bioceramic case, measuring 42.30mm in width, 14.40mm in height, and 48mm in length. The unidirectional bezel, crafted from blue resin, features a luminous scale illuminated by Super-LumiNova Class A, offering exceptional visibility in dim underwater conditions. A crown with dual-brand relief logos, guarded for extra durability, complements the case’s fluid design. On the back, an open case back is adorned with an illustration of the East Pacific Ocean and the Tambja mullineri nudibranch, echoing the marine inspiration of the watch. With a water resistance of 91 meters, the Blue Lagoon is a capable companion for light diving adventures.

The turquoise dial continues the oceanic theme, featuring applied blue-outlined indexes and hands filled with luminescent material. A discreet date window sits at the 4:30 position, while the printed minute track and classic branding elements at 12 and 6 o’clock lend the watch a balanced and harmonious design. The Sistem51 automatic movement powers the watch, boasting a 51-component architecture, 19 jewels, a 21,600 Vph frequency, and an impressive 90-hour power reserve—ensuring reliability and precision.

A subtle but notable departure from its predecessors is the strap design. Instead of the NATO-style strap found on earlier models, the Blue Lagoon is fitted with a two-piece fabric strap in blue, accented by a central off-white stripe. This is paired with turquoise and blue Bioceramic hardware, completing the sleek aesthetic.

The Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathom Blue Lagoon retains the collection’s hallmark affordability and exclusivity. Priced at €400, it is available exclusively at select Swatch boutiques. Following the same purchasing policy as earlier models, availability is limited to one piece per customer per day, ensuring its appeal as a highly sought-after collector’s item.
