Oris Aquis Pro 1000m Diver with RSS Saltzmans Watches

So funny story with this one before I began it. If you watch the unboxing of this Oris Aquus Pro on loan from Saltzman's Watches in Rhode Island, I clearly did not understand the bezel. But without reading anything, without looking at other videos, I figured it out. So either good on me or good on Oris for making it not too difficult. So you have this bi-directional outer bezel that turns and has like quarter clicks. But it also has this little relief right here. And in there it says rotating safety system. And that's their patented RSS, right? Tested to 1,000 meters. It's very easy to use actually. You just kind of pop it up. So you just pop it up like that. Then in that position you can now rotate the bezel. 120 click. Very crisp bezel. So you go ahead and set it to wherever you need it to be set. Phenomenal bezel action. Okay. And then you push it down. That locks it in place. That makes it so you're not going to have any error in your timing of your dive. So there's not a ton of watches out there that have such a secure rotating assembly that you don't have to worry about it being reduced. Typically it's how it works, right? Because you have a unidirectional bezel action. So if anything, it usually reduces your time. But you don't have to worry about it on this one. And then even in that chaptering Oris Aquas Pro it says on that RIAT. So they did a phenomenal job with this one. Really good design department work on this one for sure. It is a titanium case but it has a decent amount of weight to it. There are some stainless steel components as well as ceramic and sapphire of course. So let's get into the size. I have a few measurements for you. They're calling it a 49. But like all the Aquas lineup, I don't think you need to worry about that size as much as that number looks. Also when I measured the case, I measured the case at like 47 and I measured this outer bezel like 48. So I don't really get 49 anyway. And then the lug to lug, yeah, it's long. It's 55 millimeter. And of course you have the proprietary screws which you can get a screwdriver to change that out if you need to. Not a big deal. The thickness 17 millimeter. Keep in mind this is a thousand meter water resistant watch. And then you have width here on this proprietary system for the strap is about 26 millimeter and then it tapers down to about 19 millimeter. You do have plenty of holes here in the strap for the clasp as well as reinforced cut lines on this side. So I would probably, like for my wrist size, I'd probably take out like two or three of them and, you know, pull the strap back out a little bit. I have it kind of sized for me but there's a lot of overlap. Now you might want to leave it that way. Like if you do intend to do like a wetsuit action or something then you'd have plenty of strap there. You have a nine millimeter signed screw down crown keeping that 1000 meter resist. Very robust looking. Of course ceramic bezel insert. Check this out. Those same proprietary screws used to hold the bezel insert in place for their RSS patented design. I don't know how it works but it's pretty wild to see screws in the bezel insert. So pretty wild. But yeah, once it's pulled up you can't turn the like the bezel will not turn. So pretty interesting. Again, you just pop that up. It's not super difficult and then you can turn the whole bezel. Oops, it wasn't fully snapped up. See that's too far. So you guys get to see me do the bezel three times around. There we go. And then the dial. Beautifully done. Gradient blue with a dark blue outer ring and then you have that very it's a wave pattern but what we call it like it's it's a very defined wave pattern. It's different than what you typically see on other watches. Date window at six o'clock. Very easy to read with that white background. Black print. Classic Aquos handset. A powder blue seconds hand. Just a beautiful looking watch. Let's pop it on my seven and a quarter inch wrist. The movement inside is the classic caliber 733 Salida SW200 most likely 26 joules 41 hour power reserve. Here it is on my seven and a quarter inch wrist. Is it a big watch? Yes, of course it's a large watch but much like I've shown some other large watches when you get into the professional grade the actual professional tool watches for diving then they are going to be a little more substantial. Do you need it? No. Are you going to dive with it? No, probably not but sometimes in our watch journey we like to buy, use, where are these massive well-built tool watches that these brands offer to us. Helium escape valve of course on the opposite side of the crown. Double pusher on the clasp and a reel. Check this out. Aorus reference rubber strap. And does it smell like vanilla? Yeah, it does. So another plus to the Aorus strap option for this thing is it actually smells beautiful. Let's give it a quick blast with the UV light and unlike the Pro Pilot that I just showed a little bit ago with a little bit sparsely applied orange lume this thing is going to impress us with big dive lume. Yeah, we have two colors of course that 15 minute timer on the bezel tied to the minute hand also being blue. Everything else is done in green. I like to see this dual color combination with Aorus and I really like to see Aorus Aquas line be so versatile. You know they have different materials, different sizes and now we have this guy here where it's the massive Pro model. There was even back in the day they did a solid gold Aorus Aquas. They didn't make a ton of them but that was actually even cool to see that from an independent brand. You know they've done some pretty incredible movements and then of course you know just some great iconic watches like this one here. So thanks for watching Saltzman's Watches Rhode Island. Get a hold of Dave. Tell him I sent you. See you in the next video.
