Regardless of whether you read the article on Oris’s sustainability or the argument I made for the watch Oris is missing to make it the best, I expect most everyone can agree that sub-$10K is hardly grail territory. I’ll argue that it’s compensation (or an extended pitch) for such a humble grail. Everyone else took one article to announce their grail. All these articles played a part in building my case. Seriously, how many consecutive articles on Oris can I write? But this is a pre-meditated ending to a trilogy of sorts exhibiting Oris as I’ve come to know it. But if we’re all naming our grails (and we are), it’s easy enough for me to point to mine - the 41.5mm Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400 in blue.įor any of you keeping up with my most recent articles, there may be an exasperated “of course” and a throwing up of hands. Oris has spoiled me these past couple of years, and I’m almost content with holding off to see what else the brand has up its sleeve ( Caliber 402, anyone?). If my grail is a watch, the tower that keeps it is Oris, and I admit I’m more enamored with the tower than the various potential grails within. And if I’m buying tomorrow, I want an Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400. Thus, as far as my judgment is concerned, I want an Oris. Beyond that, I want the ultimate expression of capability in specs and design, as well as efficiency of material and cost. My best is a watch that can keep up with me in all that I do.
What I consider best for me is a watch that doesn’t require careful handling. That’s why everyone’s grail is different. Grail watches are supposed to embody the best.
