This is not to say that they are inferior movements – far from it (their reliability, sturdiness and serviceability lends themselves to being so heavily utilised in the industry). Most watch owners complain of their watches running out of power after around the two-day mark, and frankly, most watches at the $5000 dollar price mark will be affected by this problem as they are often equipped with ETA or Sellita base movements. With the new Calibre 400, Oris brings their ingenuity to a wider audience for everyday wear, as well as serious watchmaking value to the table.
#ORIS CALIBRE 400 MOVEMENT MANUAL#
The watches that were part of the Artelier and ProPilot line, however, did feature a sense of niche appeal with their larger sizing and manual winding movements. These movements incorporated long power reserves in these movements, and then building complications on top of a solid base movement. Oris has been making strides with its in-house movements of late with the likes of the Calibre 110 and its descendants. Whether you are dipping your toes in the universe of horology, or you now live and breathe movements, movement design, case construction and dial finishes, it is good to know that the Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 has something for all lovers of watchmaking.
Rightfully so, as the hardy nature of the Aquis design matches the ingenuity of the new calibre that introduces new standards of construction, testing and reliability for the brand – all for a price that is incredibly reasonable (relatively speaking) in the world of watches. Of all the watch models that Oris could have chosen to introduce the new Calibre 400 movement in, they chose to house it in the rugged case of the Aquis – an Oris model synonymous with toughness and reliability in everyday use.
