The less common Oris Diver Sixtyfive
Oris has managed to to leverage its heritage really nicely in the recent years and the Oris Diver Sixtyfive has been a great starting shot for it. In the meantime the family has expanded quite a bit, with a bronze case (Brashear) in addition to the SS one, two sizes, many dial versions...
There are quite some members, who have gotten one as a beater and the Brashear has been quite popular, as are most bronze cased watches at the moment.
The one less common is the blue / grey dial one from the first, smaller case generation.
It may not be as legible as the one with the black dial and in terms of diving that could be a disadvantage. As seen in the picture above, the crystal reflects quite a bit. The date wheel is black, as it is on the other one, so it is somewhat more intrusive, unfortunately. And the only date free version is the Topper one in black, which is long sold out (more here: www.watchprosite.com
including picture).
On the other hand the blue / grey offers a certain sixties funkiness that is less pronounced in the black, which I have to say I like a lot. Your opinion?

Thanks Adolfo!
I do agree - the black one is more naturally harmonious, while this is the more funky alternative.
