Oris Presents Aquis Depth Gauge Watch

Oris presents its new Aquis Depth Gauge watch. The novelty introduces a revolutionizing concept in the world of professional diving as it represents the first diver’s watch that measures depth by allowing water to enter the timepiece. The brand’s engineers have applied the Boyle Mariotte Law to the patented model.

The new Oris watch is constructed with a special sapphire crystal that is 50% thicker than an average top glass. The sapphire crystal has a channel milled into the side. This channel runs anticlockwise round the dial and stops between 1 and 2 o’clock. At 12 o’clock, there is a hole leading to this channel. A rubber gasket is used for sealing the join between the crystal and the case.

When the diver descents with the watch on his wrist, the air found inside the channel is compressed by the surrounding water pressure, and water enters through the 12 o’clock inlet. The edge, visible in light and dark grey, differentiates between water and compressed air on the yellow-numerals scale featured around the outside of the dial, indicating the depth.see more montre bracelet and replica hermes
