Great Watch!, July 12, 2009
This review is from: Oris Men's 733 7533 8454MB Divers TT1 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I have this watch, except with the blue face. I would have left a review for that particular model, but it's not for sale at the moment, and except for color it's identical to this watch. It's a big watch, but on my 8+ inch wrist it looks perfectly at home. My brother (who has a 7 inch wrist and darker complexion) has tried it on and it looks awesome on his wrist too, although he did comment that it felt kind of heavy to him.
Another reviewer mentioned that the bracelet is lighter than it should be because of titanium links-- he's referring to a different model that has the titanium (and has Titan in the name), although that model is almost identical in every other way. I agree with that reviewer in that the titanium links make the bracelet feel a little lighter on that model, but this particular model (with brushed stainless inner links and polished stainless outer links) has the best bracelet feel I've ever experienced, and I wouldn't be able to differentiate it from a Rolex Oyster bracelet.
Mine keeps pretty good time (gaining about 6 seconds a day, meaning that every time I change the date at the end of the month, I also adjust the time back three minutes). I also like the display back with the red rotor that Oris likes to use.
All in all, this watch could sell for more but the Oris name (instead of Omega or Tag Heuer) mean it has to sell for what it does, even though it's been around for over 100 years. If their other watches are this good, though, Oris will begin to get a premium reputation in no time. I am definitely a fan of the brand now, so hopefully my next Oris watch will be as pleasing as this one.

Nice looking, solid, masculine watch, July 3, 2009
This review is from: Oris Men's 733 7533 8454MB Divers TT1 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I like a simple dial that is not crowded with a bunch of things I dont use. I also wanted a watch below $1000 so I did not feel guilty wearing this on my wrist in a time of recession. Previously I owned a Breitling and I had to sell it, so I have been without a watch for some time. I had been browsing the Oris watches for a while, and I like the fact that they are not very common here in the US. This watch feels great on my wrist, it is heavy, but not ULTRA heavy like the Breitling was. The bracelet feels a little light which may be because it has some Titanium links in there along with the polished steel. I love the look of the face and it is just the right size for my wrist, not looking too huge and it is just the right thickness as well at 12mm. My previous watch was 15mm and that just seemed a little too thick. Definately a quality watch, but dont expect a Rolex. For the price you cant beat it if you want something unique that looks good and you can tell it is not a cheap fossil or citizen.

This watch is a keeper, January 27, 2012
This review is from: Oris Men's 733 7533 8454MB Divers TT1 Automatic Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I just received this watch and it is a definite keeper. I was looking for a beefy diver style watch and loved the first Oris watch I picked up about two years ago. So I ordered this one and now it is here.
The out of box experience connotes quality as does the overall fit and finish of this time piece. The "port hole" watch box is great for display purposes if you don't have a winder. Nice touch. The watch dial is easy to read and the long tapered hands glide across the face with grace. The lume is the best for any watch in my collection. The movement is quite accurate and I love the red rotor behind the exhibition case back. The bracelet is classic diver topped off with the safety clasp. I would recommend this watch, especially for the price ($900) on Amazon.
