Oris further solidifies its good name in diving watches with the new Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher. Safety first being the two most important words to describe the watch.

But before an explanation of the diver’s watch some kudos to Oris. They deliberately do not choose famous brand ambassadors to seduce people to buy their watches. For example, with the Regulateur Der Meistertaucher, which is endorsed by the French professional diver Jérôme Delafosse.

Jérôme has dived with sharks under the icebergs of Greenland, discovered a giant squid off the coast of Peru, and participated in the discovery of Cleopatra’s engulfed palace in Egypt. In addition, he also writes and makes documentaries to help preserve the oceans. Finally, someone real instead of an actor or soccer player that uses his fee for some extra accessories on their Lamborghini and/or Bentley.

The Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher only has the minutes in the center of the dial

The Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher focuses on the most important thing on a dive watch. And no, that is not the water resistance, but the ability to clearly and accurately relay the remaining dive time.

And it’s for this reason that Oris has created and redesigned the Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher. The watch has non-coaxial hands, meaning the hour and minute hands are separated. The minute hand is in the center, while the hour is shown by a hand on a sub-dial at 3 o’clock.

This isolates the key piece of information for a diver, who can set dive time by aligning the minute hand to the 60-minute scale on the uni-directional rotating bezel. Which in this case is fitted with a black ceramic insert with red and white markings.

A great execution of a kind of set-up you do not regularly see on a dive watch. The Oris Regulateur Der Meistertaucher comes in a waterproof box and with an extra red rubber strap (with changing tool) in addition to the standard titanium bracelet.
