Oris Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition Discontinued
About This Watch
The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition is a limited collaboration between Oris and the Movember Foundation, the global charity focused on men's health issues including mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Limited to 2,000 pieces, this Sixty-Five features a full DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating on the stainless steel case that gives it a stealth-black appearance unlike any other model in the collection. The dark grey dial with its subtle moustache motif at six o'clock — replacing the standard seconds track — adds a touch of playful purpose that connects the wearer to the charitable mission without being overt or distracting. The DLC coating provides exceptional scratch resistance while creating an all-black aesthetic that appeals to collectors who prefer understated, tactical-looking timepieces. At 42mm, this Movember Edition has a slightly larger presence than the standard 40mm Sixty-Five, and the DLC coating's dark surface absorbs light in a way that actually makes the watch appear smaller and more compact than its dimensions suggest. The black NATO strap reinforces the military-inspired aesthetic and provides robust, comfortable wear that matches the watch's tool-watch personality. A portion of each sale was donated to the Movember Foundation, making this one of several Oris watches that combine commercial product with charitable purpose. On the secondary market, the Movember Edition has appreciated above its retail price, driven by the limited production number, the distinctive DLC finish, and the meaningful charitable connection. The caseback features the Movember moustache logo, adding a commemorative element for this unique partnership.
In-Depth Review
# Oris Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition
Reviving the aesthetic of 1960s diving instruments, Oris has long positioned itself as the thinking collector's tool watch alternative to larger Swiss brands. The Divers Sixty-Five Movember Edition exemplifies this philosophy through restrained design language and genuine functional depth. Built around the in-house Oris 733 caliber—a modified Sellita SW200-1 offering 38 hours of power reserve—this 42mm stainless steel dive watch manages accessibility without sacrificing watchmaking credibility. The DLC-coated case, domed sapphire crystal, and dark grey dial create visual warmth despite the modern finishing, while the unidirectional bezel and 100-meter water resistance confirm its legitimate underwater capability. As a limited Movember collaboration, the watch carries additional purpose: proceeds supported men's health initiatives, lending meaningful context beyond typical special editions.
The ideal owner appreciates vintage-inspired design without vintage complications, seeking a daily wearer with enough character to merit extended wrist time. This watch suits professionals who value restraint over flashiness and divers—recreational or serious—needing genuine water resistance without the investment required by Submariner or Seamaster variants. The black NATO strap signals versatility, accommodating both casual and professional contexts with equal comfort.
Against competitors like the Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight or Squale 1545 Dive watch, the Oris occupies compelling middle ground. While pricing has crept toward $2,600 on secondary markets above its $2,350 MSRP, it remains meaningfully less expensive than Tudor equivalents while offering comparable in-house mechanical movement quality. Its discontinuation only enhances collectibility among Oris enthusiasts who recognize the brand's uncompromising approach to
