This integrated depth gauge makes the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge a robust tool for divers. ![]() This pressure is then depicted by a counter under the index markers. As the channel is getting filled with water, the air inside the channel gets pressurised. The channel is filled with air on the surface and when the wearer dives inside the water body, it is filled with water. This is calculated by a channel inside the watch marked by a hole at the 12 o’clock marker. A law that defines that the combination of pressure and volume remains constant. The depth inside the watch is measured by the Boyle-Mariotte Law. Being one of the few mechanical watches that offer a real-time depth gauge on the dial, the Aquis Depth Gauge is also known as the ‘watch with a hole’. The series of timepieces is called the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge. One such timepiece colludes with the qualitative personality of the brand and the innovative persona.

The elaborate movements, entirely visible in skeletonized displays, are remarkable for their sleek, streamlined design. The Excalibur collection, introduced in 2005, remains one of Dubuis’ most iconic. The cheekily named “Too Much”, “Much More” and “Follow Me” collections experimented with unconventional cases, dials, and displays for exquisitely engineered complications. ![]() The Hommage range pays more literal homage to historical watchmakers, with classic round cases, muted colors, and movements that celebrate horology without superfluous bells or whistles.Īs the company grew, the watches leaned into the avant-garde. The Sympathie S37 perpetual calendar epitomized the Dubuis approach - a highly complex bi-retrograde perpetual calendar and chronograph movement housed within a stylized cushion-shaped case. The brand launched with two styles: the Sympathie and the Hommage. The two bonded over their passion for horology and, in 1995, the Roger Dubuis brand was born. The two first met when Dubuis was running his own workshop, developing complicated movements for brands such as Harry Winston, and Dias was working as a waiter at a Genevan café. The brand’s signature is largely due to the two men that founded it: Roger Dubuis, a seasoned Swiss watchmaker who put in time at Longines and Patek Philippe, and Carlos Dias, a renegade Portuguese designer. The great appeal of Roger Dubuis watches lies in their harmonious balance between traditionally refined horology and bold, eye-catching design. ![]()
