Oris Watches Aquis Date Upcycle Calibre 400 Miami

Introduction: A Different Kind of Luxury Dive Watch

A luxury dive watch usually makes its first impression through its case, bezel, bracelet and dial. The Oris Aquis Date Upcycle Calibre 400 changes the conversation by making the dial itself the most individual part of the watch. Rather than using a conventional single-colour surface, Oris creates the Upcycle dial from recycled PET plastic. The material is processed into a multicoloured pattern, meaning every dial has a unique composition. No two watches have precisely the same visual arrangement.

That individuality is more than a styling detail. The Upcycle concept connects the watch to Oris's Change for the Better philosophy and its stated focus on reducing plastic in the world's oceans. The result is a mechanical watch with a visible environmental design story, expressed through a bold, almost abstract dial rather than a printed slogan or decorative emblem.

There is substantial watchmaking beneath that dial. This 43.5 mm Aquis is powered by the Oris Calibre 400 automatic movement, with a 120-hour power reserve, everyday anti-magnetic performance and a recommended 10-year service interval. Its multi-piece stainless-steel case, tungsten minute-scale top ring, domed sapphire crystal, transparent sapphire case back and 30-bar water resistance complete a specification designed for real-world use.

For American buyers researching a Swiss automatic dive watch that feels different from the standard black- or blue-dial sports watch, the Aquis Date Upcycle Calibre 400 offers a distinctive alternative. Lexor Miami lists this reference as 01 400 7790 4150-07 8 23 02PEB, with a displayed price of $4,400. Check the live product page for current price, stock and purchase terms.

What Makes the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle Special?

A dial made from recycled PET plastic

The defining feature of the Aquis Date Upcycle is its dial material. Oris uses recycled PET plastic to create a multicoloured surface with a naturally irregular, marbled appearance. The manufacturing approach produces a random arrangement of colours and fragments, so each dial is visually individual. One watch may show a stronger blue presence, while another may display more white, red, dark or mixed tones. The exact pattern on the watch you receive is part of its character.

Because the pattern varies, buyers should not expect every product photograph to represent the exact dial pattern of every individual watch. The photographs show the Upcycle concept and the range of visual effects, but the dial's composition can vary. If you are choosing this watch because of a particular colour balance, contact Lexor Miami before ordering to ask whether the exact piece can be photographed or confirmed.

Design with a purpose

Oris presents the Upcycle as a symbol of its Change for the Better mission, particularly its focus on the problem of plastic in the world's oceans. The material story is integrated directly into the object: the recycled PET is not hidden inside the case or mentioned only in the product description. It becomes the visual centre of the watch.

It is important to describe the environmental claim accurately. The dial uses recycled PET plastic; that fact does not mean the entire watch is made from recycled materials, nor does it establish a specific quantity of ocean plastic removed for each watch. The Upcycle's appeal lies in the use of recycled material and the broader message it represents.

Oris: Independent Swiss Watchmaking Since 1904

From Hölstein to modern mechanical watchmaking

Oris was founded in 1904 in Hölstein, Switzerland. Over more than a century, the brand has developed a strong identity around mechanical watches, purposeful design and accessible technical innovation. Its collections cover several watchmaking traditions, including aviation, diving, motorsport and everyday mechanical watches.

The Aquis family represents Oris's contemporary dive-watch direction. Its design language combines a robust case, rotating dive bezel, water-resistant construction and a modern sports-watch profile. The collection includes different sizes, movements and dial treatments, allowing buyers to choose between classic configurations and more expressive references such as the Upcycle.

The Oris approach to mechanical watches

Oris is known among enthusiasts for focusing on mechanical movements. The Calibre 400 family is an important part of the brand's modern identity because it brings a long power reserve, anti-magnetic design considerations and extended service recommendations into a contemporary automatic movement. It gives the Aquis Date Upcycle a technical story that matches its unusual exterior.

The Upcycle is therefore not simply a colourful version of an existing dive watch. It combines the established Aquis platform with a distinctive material choice and one of Oris's most important modern movement families.

Design: A Multicoloured Dial That Makes Every Watch Different

An abstract pattern with natural variation

The Upcycle dial does not follow the usual rules of a traditional dive-watch dial. Its recycled PET construction creates a swirling, fragmented pattern that can resemble marbling, a colourful mosaic or shifting shapes beneath the surface. The visual result is expressive without relying on an elaborate complication. The hands and applied hour markers remain the functional focus, while the dial material gives the watch its personality.

Because the pattern varies, the Aquis Date Upcycle is particularly appealing to buyers who value individuality. Two owners can have the same reference and movement but wear watches with visibly different dial compositions. That is a rare kind of personal detail in a production watch.

43.5 mm case and wrist presence

The 43.5 mm stainless-steel case gives the watch a confident sports-watch profile. Diameter is only one part of fit: wrist shape, lug geometry, bracelet articulation and personal taste all affect how a watch wears. Buyers who prefer compact watches should consider the dimensions carefully. Those who enjoy a substantial dive watch will likely appreciate the Aquis's strong wrist presence.

The stainless-steel bracelet adds visual continuity and makes the watch suitable for everyday wear. Its 23 mm interhorn width is useful to know if you are considering compatible alternative straps. Confirm strap compatibility and availability with the retailer before purchasing accessories.

Materials and Construction

Multi-piece stainless-steel case

The case is constructed from multiple pieces of stainless steel. This material is widely used in sports watches for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, finishing potential and everyday practicality. The Aquis case has a purposeful design that supports the watch's 30-bar water-resistance specification.

Tungsten minute-scale top ring

The top ring uses tungsten for the minute scale. Tungsten is a hard, dense material, making it a distinctive choice for a component that is regularly handled. The rotating bezel is a defining part of dive-watch design and can be used to track elapsed time when operated correctly.

Domed sapphire crystal

The watch uses sapphire crystal domed on both sides, with anti-reflective coating on the inside. Sapphire is valued for its scratch resistance compared with many alternative watch-crystal materials. It is not indestructible, however, and a sufficiently hard impact can still damage it.

Transparent sapphire case back

The screwed stainless-steel case back includes a see-through sapphire glass window. This allows the wearer to view the automatic movement rather than hiding it behind a solid metal back. It adds a mechanical dimension to the ownership experience and reinforces the watch's focus on movement technology.

Stainless-steel bracelet and quick-adjust clasp

The bracelet is made from stainless steel. Oris also highlights its patented quick-adjust clasp system for this Aquis generation. The adjustment mechanism is designed to let the wearer make small fit changes by pinching the tabs and sliding the clasp, without removing links or taking the watch off. This can be particularly useful when wrist size changes slightly during the day or in warmer weather. Confirm the exact clasp configuration on the supplied watch before purchase.

Oris Calibre 400: Five Days of Mechanical Performance

120-hour power reserve

The Calibre 400 is the technical heart of this Aquis. It is an automatic mechanical movement with a stated power reserve of 120 hours, equal to five days. Once fully wound, the watch can continue running for up to five days when it is not being worn, depending on operating conditions and the movement's state of wind.

This extended reserve is especially convenient for collectors who rotate between several watches. A traditional automatic watch with a shorter reserve may stop after a day or two away from the wrist. The Calibre 400 gives the owner more flexibility to set the Aquis aside and return to it later without immediately needing to reset the time and date.

Automatic winding

An automatic movement uses the motion of the wearer's wrist to wind its mainspring. The watch can also be wound and set using the crown according to the manufacturer's instructions. The Calibre 400 combines this familiar mechanical principle with a longer power reserve designed for modern ownership habits.

Everyday anti-magnetism

Magnetic fields from electronics and other everyday sources can affect the rate of a mechanical watch. Oris describes the Calibre 400 as offering everyday anti-magnetic performance. This is an important consideration for a watch intended to be worn regularly, although it should not be interpreted as immunity to every magnetic field.

Recommended 10-year service interval

Oris recommends a 10-year service interval for the Calibre 400. This is a manufacturer recommendation, not a guarantee that no inspection or repair will be needed sooner. Water exposure, impacts, wear, storage conditions and the watch's actual performance can all affect maintenance needs. Follow the current Oris care guidance and seek professional attention if the watch behaves unusually.

MyOris warranty extension

Oris lists a two-year standard warranty and states that eligible owners can extend coverage through MyOris registration, potentially up to 10 years depending on the movement and applicable terms. Register the watch according to Oris's instructions and verify eligibility, deadlines and coverage conditions directly with the manufacturer.

Water Resistance and Dive-Watch Functionality

The Oris Aquis Date Upcycle Calibre 400 is rated to 30 bar, equivalent to 300 meters. This is a substantial water-resistance specification for a mechanical sports watch. The rotating bezel, clear hands and markers, robust steel case and screw-secured construction support its dive-watch identity.

Water resistance is not permanent or independent of maintenance. Seals can age, and impacts or incorrect crown operation can affect the watch's ability to keep water out. Before swimming or diving, make sure the crown is secured as instructed and the watch is in suitable condition. Follow Oris's operating guidance and have water resistance checked by a qualified service provider when appropriate.

A 300-meter rating should not be treated as a substitute for dive training, a dive computer or proper safety equipment. The watch is a mechanical timekeeping instrument; use the bezel only as an additional elapsed-time reference and follow safe diving practices.

Benefits: Why Choose the Aquis Date Upcycle Calibre 400?

A dial that is genuinely individual

The recycled PET dial is the most obvious reason to choose the Upcycle. Its pattern is created through a random process, so each watch has a different visual arrangement. It offers a personal detail that cannot be replicated exactly by choosing a standard dial colour.

Five days between full winds

The 120-hour power reserve is useful for anyone who owns more than one watch. It gives the Aquis more time off the wrist before it stops, reducing the frequency of resetting and winding during a normal rotation.

Modern movement technology

The Calibre 400 brings together automatic winding, everyday anti-magnetic performance and a recommended 10-year service interval. It gives buyers a strong technical reason to consider this reference beyond its unusual appearance.

Serious dive-watch specification

The 300-meter water-resistance rating, rotating bezel, sapphire crystal and stainless-steel construction give the watch the practical foundation expected from a modern dive-style sports watch. Correct maintenance and safe use remain essential.

Useful bracelet adjustment

The Oris-patented quick-adjust clasp is designed to make small fit changes easier. This can improve day-to-day comfort when the wrist changes slightly with temperature or activity.

A visible material-conscious design story

The recycled PET dial makes the Upcycle concept tangible. It is a design choice that can appeal to buyers who want a luxury object with a connection to material reuse and Oris's Change for the Better message.

Who Should Buy the Oris Aquis Date Upcycle?

The buyer who wants a unique dial

If you are tired of conventional black, white or blue watch faces, the Upcycle offers a very different visual experience. The recycled PET pattern makes the dial the focal point and ensures that each watch has its own character.

The mechanical-watch enthusiast

The Calibre 400 is a major part of this model's appeal. Its five-day reserve, automatic winding and anti-magnetic design make it an interesting choice for someone who values movement engineering as much as exterior design.

The dive-watch collector

The Aquis platform gives the Upcycle a recognizable sports-watch foundation. The 43.5 mm case and 300-meter rating suit buyers who enjoy substantial dive watches and want a more expressive dial than a conventional diver.

The design-conscious professional

The multicoloured dial can bring personality to a simple wardrobe. It works especially well for someone who treats a watch as a design object and wants a piece that can become a conversation starter.

The environmentally minded buyer

The recycled PET dial and Change for the Better theme may resonate with buyers who pay attention to material choices and ocean plastic pollution. The watch communicates that story through its construction rather than through a temporary trend or slogan.

The person buying a memorable gift

The Upcycle can be a thoughtful gift for a watch enthusiast, diver, design lover or someone who appreciates sustainability-led products. Because each dial varies, ask Lexor Miami whether the exact watch can be viewed or confirmed before purchase.

Luxury Lifestyle: A Statement Piece for Everyday Wear

The Aquis Date Upcycle is not a discreet dress watch. Its 43.5 mm case and multicoloured dial are designed to be noticed. That makes it especially effective with simple clothing: a white shirt, dark knit, denim, neutral jacket or relaxed weekend outfit gives the dial room to stand out.

For travel, the stainless-steel bracelet and robust case create a practical sports-watch feel. At a coastal destination, the dive-watch design feels at home; in a city setting, the recycled dial becomes the detail that distinguishes it from more familiar luxury watches. The watch can move between casual and smart-casual environments, although its size and colourful face may be too bold for someone who prefers a minimal formal watch.

The Upcycle also rewards close attention. From a distance, the dial reads as a vibrant multicoloured surface. Up close, the recycled fragments and irregular pattern become more apparent. The transparent sapphire case back offers a second point of interest for owners who enjoy seeing the mechanics behind an automatic watch.

Comparison: Oris Aquis Upcycle vs. Other Oris Watches

Choosing between Oris models comes down to the design you want, the movement specification and how you plan to wear the watch. The Aquis Date Upcycle is for buyers who want the Calibre 400 platform with a dial that is visibly different from standard production designs.

Upcycle vs. Great Barrier Reef Limited Edition IV

These two Aquis models share a 43.5 mm case size and the Calibre 400 movement family, but their dial stories are very different. The Upcycle uses recycled PET plastic to create a unique multicoloured pattern on each dial. The Great Barrier Reef IV uses a blue-green gradient inspired by the reef and is limited to 2,000 pieces. Choose the Upcycle for individual dial variation and recycled-material construction; choose the Great Barrier Reef IV for its specific conservation story and limited-edition status.

Upcycle vs. a standard Aquis Date

A standard Aquis Date is a more traditional choice for buyers who want a classic dive-watch look. The Upcycle is more expressive and material-led. Compare the exact reference numbers carefully because movement, size, water resistance and bracelet details can vary across Aquis models.

How to Care for Your Oris Aquis Automatic Watch

Cleaning the case and bracelet

Clean the watch with a soft cloth and follow Oris's instructions for rinsing the case and bracelet. After saltwater exposure, fresh-water rinsing may be appropriate when the watch is in suitable condition and the crown is secured. Dry the watch carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners and unnecessary impacts.

Protecting water resistance

Water resistance depends on seals and correct assembly. Gaskets can age, and a knock to the case or crown can compromise the watch. Have water resistance checked by a qualified watch service provider at suitable intervals, especially if you regularly use the watch in water.

Using the crown and date function

Follow the manufacturer's manual for setting the time, winding the movement and adjusting the date. Mechanical movements can have restricted date-setting periods. Do not force the crown if it resists, and avoid operating it underwater.

Magnetic fields and storage

The Calibre 400 is designed with everyday anti-magnetic performance, but it is still sensible to avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic sources. Store the watch in a clean, dry and secure location when it is not being worn.
