Oris continues its commitment to ocean conservation with the release of the Aquis Date New York Harbor Limited Edition II, a 43.5mm diver’s watch featuring an aqua green mother-of-pearl dial inspired by the waters surrounding New York City. 
Produced in a limited run of 2,000 pieces, this special edition supports the Billion Oyster Project, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring oyster reefs in New York Harbor, with proceeds contributing to ecological regeneration. Updated for 2024 with a slimmer case and improved bracelet design, the watch merges robust dive-ready specs with refined, cause-driven aesthetics.
The bold 43.5mm case is crafted from stainless steel with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces that enhance its contemporary tool-watch character. While maintaining its muscular silhouette, the 2024 update refines the case thickness to a more wearable 13.1mm. A matte sandblasted unidirectional rotating bezel surrounds the dial, featuring raised polished numerals and a detailed 15-minute scale, complete with a luminescent pip at the 12 o’clock position for functional diving readability.
On the flipside is a sealed screw-down caseback that features a detailed relief engraving of three oysters, honoring the Billion Oyster Project, along with the inscription “New York Harbor Limited Edition” and the watch’s individual number out of 2,000. This solid caseback protects the movement while reinforcing the model’s dedication to environmental conservation efforts in the waters surrounding New York City.
It comes equipped with a screw-down crown flanked by tapered guards for added durability and impact protection. Covering the dial is a domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective treatment, ensuring clear legibility in all conditions. Water-resistance can reach up to 300 meters (990 feet).
Time is exhibited on a captivating aqua green dial crafted from mother-of-pearl, offering a fluid, iridescent surface that echoes the ever-changing tones of New York Harbor’s waters. The natural shimmer of the material ensures that each dial is visually unique, reinforcing the individuality of this limited edition. Shield-shaped hour markers are applied around the dial, providing bold definition without overwhelming the organic texture beneath.
A clean date window is positioned at 6 o’clock, subtly framed and set against a white background for optimal legibility. Alpha-style hour and minute hands sweep across the dial alongside a lollipop seconds hand, maintaining the cohesive aesthetic that defines the Aquis Date collection. The dial remains otherwise minimal, allowing the green mother-of-pearl to take center stage.
To ensure visibility in all lighting conditions, the hands and indices are treated with Super-LumiNova, including the luminous circle at the tip of the seconds hand. This practical enhancement preserves the model’s function-first diving heritage while blending seamlessly with the luxurious character of the design.
