Oris has been responsible for a handful of dive Breitling replica watches milestones recently; we’ve previously covered the brand’s groundbreaking Aquis Depth Gauge, and here we take a look at the Oris ProDiver Pointer Moon, the first mechanical watch that indicates both the lunar cycle and tidal range.
The Oris ProDiver Pointer Moon is the first wristwatch on the market that includes a function for indicating the tidal range — an important tool for professional divers, such as Oris “brand ambassador” Roman Frischknecht, whose photo appears on the inner lid of the special waterproof carrying case in which the watch is packaged, along with a replacement metal bracelet and a tool to change the strap.
The dial of the Oris ProDiver Pointer Moon is designed to give a diver easy, at-a-glance indications of both the tidal range and lunar cycle by means of a center-mounted pointer and a scale, eliminating the need for the diver to consult external manuals. The multi-piece titanium case, water-resistant to 1,000 meters, incorporates Oris’s patented Rotation Safety System, which allows the wearer to keep track of a certain time period using the unidirectional rotating bezel, which can be locked to prevent accidental adjustment, as well as an automatic helium escape valve.
In addition to the central hours, minutes and seconds hand and central moon-pointer hand, the cheap Panerai replica watches includes a date window at 5 o’clock and has another handy feature for divers — a meters-to-feet conversion scale — engraved on the screwed caseback. The sapphire crystal, which is domed on both sides and has nonreflective treatment on the inner surface, and the Super-LumiNova inlays on the hands and applied indices aid in underwater legibility. Two versions of the watch are available, one with the “Pointer Moon” function oriented to the northern hemisphere (Ref. 761 7682 7154) and the other with it oriented to the southern hemisphere (Ref. 761 7682 7134). The Oris ProDiver Pointer Moon comes on a rubber strap with an extendable folding buckle. The price is $3,600.
