Aquis Date 01 733 7730 4134-07 5 24 10EB 43.5mm

Ref 01 733 7730 4134-07 5 24 10EB puts the black Aquis Date 43.5 on a calf leather strap. It’s the quietest of the black variants, and it shows a side of the Aquis most buyers don’t expect.

The black dial plus leather combination tones down the dive-watch look a lot. On the wrist it reads closer to a sports watch than a diver, which suits the customer who wants one mechanical watch for everything and isn’t actually going underwater.

Inside it’s unchanged: Oris Calibre 733 automatic, 38-hour reserve, 43.5mm steel case with ceramic bezel insert, 300m rating, sapphire crystal, display back. Leather obviously isn’t for swimming, so steer water users to the rubber 64EB. Market reference is about $2,100–$2,300.

Stock it lightly. It’s the version that sells to the person who already owns a bracelet diver and wants something different.
