The level that watch collectors actively seek. It\u2019s a twist on a classic design, and when some brands sometimes get it wrong, this time Oris got it very right.<\/p>\n<p>This is considered a \u201cspecial edition\u201d from Oris. Not to be confused with a \u201climited edition\u201d. At the moment there is no cap on production quantity, well at least this is what Oris tells us. Realistically they could halt production on this model at any time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-momotero-diver-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Oris X Momotaro Divers 65 fancy wrist shot\" class=\"wp-image-9001\"><\/p>\n<p>This model was created in collaboration with the Momotaro Japanese Jeans company, because of both companies fond appreciation for excellent craftsmanship. This explains the unique denim strap with the Momotaro signature stripes.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid#d5d5d5\">\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/watchpod-shop-banner.png\" alt=\"watchpod shop banner\"> <\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid#d5d5d5\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-momotero-liquor-photo-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dial with liquor bottle\" class=\"wp-image-9002\"><\/p>\n<p>This was a little bit of an \u201cunder the radar\u201d release from Oris, well at least I didn\u2019t hear much about it when it first launched back in April, perhaps because of the Coronavirus outbreak everyone was a little pre-occupied. It wasn\u2019t until I started to see some pics show up on Instagram that I started to catch on, as I took a double look and was mesmerized by this super cool subdued green dial that begins to have a fume gradient near the indices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-diver-65-dial-momotero-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Oris diver 65 dial close up\" class=\"wp-image-9003\"><\/p>\n<p>Also unique to this piece is the combination of a steel case with a bronze bezel, only really apparent from the side, but also the hands and round indices match fantastically.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-momotero-bronze-dial-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bronze bezel from side\" class=\"wp-image-9004\"><\/p>\n<p>The short curved and tapered lugs allow this piece to sit very comfortably on the wrist, and the surprisingly slim case makes it extra comfortable. This is not a large wearing 40mm watch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Diver-65-lugs-wrist-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Crown and lugs on wrist\" class=\"wp-image-9005\"><\/p>\n<p>The two-tone coloring of the watch is very subtle, and for someone who isn\u2019t a massive two-tone fan I actually really like it. It\u2019s just enough of something different without coming off as brash.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-diver-65-wrist-shot-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Wrist shot diver 65\" class=\"wp-image-9006\"><\/p>\n<p>The dial is really where this watch shines, and will be the main reason people are going to buy it. Someone online described the colour of this dial as the underside of a green leaf, which is highly accurate. It has that very soft almost silvery type of green that changes depending on lighting. It also has a very beautifully done fume fade around where the green dial meets the bronze indices. If inspected closely you\u2019ll notice the fume gradient starting with a light charcoal and ending with a dark charcoal or almost black appearance, very cool and unique.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-diver-65-contrast-dial-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Contrasty dial of oris momotero collaboration \" class=\"wp-image-9007\"><\/p>\n<p>The indices are applied bronze, they\u2019re filled with an almost pastel cream colour that looks authentic vintage. It\u2019s different than the faux patina indices you\u2019d normally find on some watches that are trying too hard to look vintage. So this one works brilliantly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.watchreviewblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Oris-momotero-caseback-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Oris caseback and movement \" class=\"wp-image-9008\"><\/p>\n<p>The movement in this watch is the same as the rest of the Divers 65 collection, no reason to change that. It\u2019s an Automatic Winding Date SW 200-1 Oris 733, 26 jewels, with a power reserve of 38 hours.<\/p>\n<p>That about sums up my love for this watch.
