Aquis Date Relief 01 733 7730 4153-07 4 24 66EB 43.5mm

Grey Aquis Date Relief on a red rubber strap, ref 01 733 7730 4153-07 4 24 66EB. It’s the Relief with some attitude.

The brushed steel bezel with raised numerals and the grey sunburst dial are about as understated as a diver gets. The red strap and red accents on the dial turn that around. It’s a strong look in the display case and pulls in buyers who want something sporty but not another blue or black diver. Retail reference is around $2,400–$2,600.

Spec sheet: 43.5mm stainless case, relief steel bezel, Oris Calibre 733 automatic with 38-hour reserve, 300m water resistance, screw-in crown, sapphire crystal, display back.

The Relief bezel is also a practical selling point. A steel bezel can be refinished if it gets knocked, while a cracked ceramic insert has to be replaced. If the red strap is too much for a customer, the grey bracelet version (8 24 05PEB) is the obvious alternative.
