Only 500 pieces of the Oris Dive Control Limited Edition (ref. 01 774 7727 7784) will be made. Its retail price is Swiss Francs 4,850.
The Oris Dive Control Limited Edition is a high-performance diver's watch made for professional divers.
The watch has a 51 mm case cast in lightweight Grade 2 titanium and coated in scratch-resistant black DLC.
It features the Oris-patented Rotation Safety System, or RSS, a signature Oris device that securely locks the uni-directional rotating bezel in place during a dive. The bezel is also enhanced by a scratch and fade-resistant ceramic top ring.
The hands, hour markers and zero marker on the bezel are all filled with Super-LumiNova. Oris’s designers have used high-contrast yellow details to indicate critical information because yellow is one of the most visible colours underwater.
The Oris Dive Control Limited Edition is water-resistant to 100 bar (1,000 metres / 3,300 feet). In testing, Oris’s engineers actually pressure tested the Dive Control Limited Edition to 125 bar to ensure it would perform in the most demanding conditions.
To guarantee this level of performance, the watch has an automatic helium escape valve. Being smaller than atoms of oxygen, helium atoms can enter a watch. Without the escape valve to release these particles, they could damage the watch once the diver reaches regular air pressure again.
The Oris Dive Control is powered by a Swiss Made automatic chronograph movement controlling central seconds, 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph hands. The 30-minute chronograph hand has a yellow counterbalance that reads off against a yellow scale, extending it to a full 60-minute display. This solution avoids reading errors thus improving safety.
Beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), the Oris Calibre 774 (base Sellita SW 500) offers 48 hours of power reserve.
Matched to a black rubber strap secured by a titanium black DLC plated folding clasp and quick-adjust extension system, the professional diver's watch is delivered in a waterproof presentation box with an additional rubber strap and changing tools.
Only 500 pieces of the Oris Dive Control Limited Edition (ref. 01 774 7727 7784) will be produced. Its retail price is Swiss Francs 4,850. oris.ch

1. Activating the Rotation Safety System. Hold the bezel’s black vulcanized rubber edge and then lift it. This will release the RSS’s lock and the bezel’s black ceramic minutes scale top ring. A yellow ring will appear around the edge of the top ring.
2. Setting the timer. With the yellow ring now visible, turn the top ring anti-clockwise and align the number on it that corresponds to your allocated dive time with the watch’s minutes hand.
3. Securing the time. Once in place, push the top ring down until it clicks into position. The timer scale is now secure and you are ready to begin your dive.
