Summer vacation is coming, are you looking for a summer high-value diver's watch? Compared to the Rolex, Fifty Fathoms and Omega Seamasters, these diver's watches are loved by a wide range of watchmakers, who are indeed well-known in terms of appearance and performance, but their prices are also prohibitive. At this time, it is slightly embarrassing to be able to choose a diving watch for 20,000 yuan, and I am afraid that the price is too expensive to reach, and I am afraid of the embarrassment of colliding with others, which is the psychology of modern young consumers.

Watch Shot:
When it comes to diver's watches, we have to mention marine protection, which is a topic that has been promoted every year, especially in the last two years, and this topic is particularly sensitive. But Oris is a Swiss brand that has been contributing to the environment, and over the past decade, the brand has funded more than a dozen marine conservation projects dedicated to sustainability and marine conservation.
Oris's relationship with professional diver's watches began in the '60s, and decades of experience have given the brand its own unique vision of diving functions, innovative ideas and traditional Swiss watchmaking, as exemplified by this Wadden Sea II Limited Edition.
Most importantly, Oris takes a very environmentally friendly approach to its watchmaking, taking action to protect the marine environment. If you're also an environmental activist, you can check out this Oris diver's watch, which I call the summer diver's 'Yanba'.
If you know Oris, you must have thought of the first limited edition of the Wadden Sea, which was released at the Haute Horlogerie & Wonder exhibition in Shanghai in 2021, based on the Aquis diver's watch, which was loved by many watchmakers.
The second generation of the watch adds a number of highlights to the first generation.
Like the first generation, the case is made of stainless steel, with a finely brushed surface that gives it a smooth line and a rich metallic hue that enhances the watch's texture and scratch resistance.
Different from our common bezels, the bezel part of this watch is made of a unique gray tungsten steel, which is known for its high hardness and wear resistance, adding a bit of robustness and calmness to the watch. The tungsten steel bezel is also treated with a brushed process, which has a silky texture and blends perfectly with the case, forming a seamless beauty.

With a diameter of 43.5 mm, the small size is particularly popular these days, but this size is more of a sports watch style, and it is also suitable for most male wearers.
The most striking thing is the dial, unique and creative, the gradient green is inspired by the effect of light refraction from the salt marshes of the Wadden Sea, this unique green hue is not only pleasing to the eye, but also gives the watch a mysterious and deep beauty.
The time scale on the disc is engraved with a tungsten plated minute hand on the upper circle, which is clear and easy to read, and the time can be accurately read even in low light environments. The luminescent hands ensure a clear indication of the time even at night or underwater.
The dial is clearly arranged, with hour and minute hands in the centre dot and small seconds cleverly positioned at 9 o'clock, surrounded by an elaborate date display. Unlike the date window we see on a daily basis, the inner ring of the dial provides a date dial, and the date mechanism displays the date in five skeleton frames with white squares, while the date display mechanism allows the wearer to keep track of the current date at all times, bringing convenience to daily life, which is both beautiful and practical.
The middle of the stainless steel strap is brushed and the sides are polished, which not only retains the texture of the metal but also increases the wearing comfort; The blue rubber strap is more sporty and suitable for outdoor activities, and the wearer can change the strap according to different occasions and moods.
The watch is water-resistant to 300 metres, making it ideal for summer water sports and diving.
From the side, you can see that the screw-down crown is flanked by shoulder guards that prevent water from entering the watch and accidentally bumping the watch.
At the heart of the watch is the Oris 743 automatic mechanical movement, which has won wide acclaim for its reliable performance and precise timekeeping. It has a power reserve of 38 hours, which allows it to keep accurate time for long periods of time, even when not wearing it. In addition, the movement's self-winding design allows the wearer to power the watch with a single swing of the wrist, making it even more convenient to wear.
This limited edition of 2,009 pieces is part of the second generation of the Wadden Sea Limited Edition, which also commemorates the important occasion of the Wadden Sea being awarded a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. The price of this one is 21,800 yuan, and if you are interested in cousins, you may wish to try it in a physical store. With the launch of this limited edition diver's watch, Oris is not only showcasing the beauty and mystery of the Wadden Sea, but also calling for more people to pay attention to and participate in the cause of marine protection and protect the blue planet on which we all depend.
