Great new dive watch, Ultra look out

Isn't that color loss going to be affected by water clarity? How different will it be in the Caribbean vs. a muddy quarry? What about cave diving?

Of course it is. Another reason why this is stupid.

Different results in different waters, at different times of day (sun angle), for different paint making the colors.

Seems to be making a statement. Of some sort.

As a watch geek, one of my aspirations:

Go Deep! Hands-On With The New Oris Depth Gauge (2nd Generation)

You may remember my introduction to the striking black and yellow depth gauge that Oris released at the start of May. The Depth Gauge was one of Oris’s

The oris depth gauge is a much cooler watch

It would be perfect for June.

I love it and would totally drop like $500 on it. Think they'll drop the price?

Agreed, but it’s still very old tech. The first uses colors, which is not exactly consistent. This one uses pressure, which is more consistent. Sounds like a bourdon tube, which was the basis for the first depth gauges. Those aren’t used anymore.

And while it’s less than half the price of the rainbow, still much more than even the priciest watch sized dive computers. It’s jewelry.

It’s jewelry.

Absolutely. No one is buying a $4000 mediocre depth gauge as a replacement for a real dive computer. It's more functional art that anything.

At least the oris doesn't stop working when you shine a flashlight at it.

Even with dual SW computers & dual transmitters and spare batteries - a decent dive watch, tables, and a very basic, small SPG gets packed on every trip. The Oris looks as good as even the Seamaster, and provides a tiny bit more functionality if the propeller well and truly hits a mass of turdidity. The SW-200 based movement is ... decent enough.
