Oris Just Dropped a Japan-Exclusive Aquis Watch—And Only 100 Exist

A new red-and-white Aquis crafted for Japan, blending Swiss engineering with a design you won’t find anywhere else

By

Oris has unveiled something truly special for collectors and Japan-based watch enthusiasts: the Aquis Date Relief Japan Limited Edition, the brand’s first-ever model created exclusively for the Japanese market. Limited to just 100 pieces, this release takes the globally loved Aquis platform and reimagines it through a distinctly Japanese lens, resulting in a dive watch that’s equal parts refined, symbolic and built for real-world performance.

A Red-and-White Aesthetic Made Only for Japan

This limited edition stands apart with a crisp white dial accented by vivid red hands and logo details. The color combination is more than just striking, it’s intentionally crafted to echo the shared palette of the Japanese and Swiss flags, symbolizing the pursuit of craftsmanship and the connection between two cultures that deeply appreciate precision timekeeping.

At the heart of the design is the Aquis Date Relief’s signature three-dimensional relief bezel, giving the watch its sharp, architectural presence. Paired with applied indices and Super-LumiNova® detailing, the Japan Edition feels modern, clean and unmistakably Oris.

A Watch Built for the Sea—and Made for Everyday Life

While visually refined, this model remains a full-spec dive watch engineered to handle anything the wearer throws at it. The 43.5 mm stainless steel case offers:

➤30 bar (300 m) water resistance
➤Sapphire crystal domed on both sides
➤Unidirectional rotating bezel
➤Screw-down crown with protection
➤13.10 mm thickness for a robust build
➤Super-LumiNova® indices and hands for low-light visibility

Versatility is a major part of the appeal. The stainless steel bracelet offers a polished, everyday look, while the included bright red rubber strap adds boldness and casual energy. Switching between the two is easy thanks to Oris’s quick-change system.

Inside the case, the reliable Oris 733 automatic movement powers the watch with a 41-hour reserve, stop-seconds function and instantaneous date. A see-through case back displays the movement and shows the individual limited number XXX/100, emphasizing the rarity of the model.

A Japan-Only Release Worth Collecting

Available exclusively at the Oris Ginza boutique and select Oris retailers across Japan, this limited edition launches on November 12, 2025, at ¥495,000 (VAT included).

For collectors, travelers, and anyone who appreciates a story woven into a watch, the Aquis Date Relief Japan Limited Edition represents a meeting of Swiss mechanics and Japanese culture—a piece you’ll only find here, and only if you’re fast enough to get one of the 100.
