Born from Oris’s partnership with expedition swimmer Ernst Bromeis, the Relief was built to carry one message: protect the world’s water. Collectors who want a dive watch with a real mission, a little Jacques Cousteau spirit on the wrist, will feel right at home here.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a grey sunburst finish inspired by a stormy sea, the dial shifts from light to dark as the wrist turns. Crowned in solid stainless steel, the one-way bezel lifts its minutes scale in relief, with polished numerals shining against a grained background. Carved from stainless steel, the 43.5mm multi-piece case wears a sapphire crystal domed on both sides.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, instantaneous date, and dive timing. Sitting on the right side, the screw-down crown unscrews into its first position, where a dozen clockwise turns get everything ticking. One notch further out, it quick sets the date, a job best left alone between 9pm and 3am. Set the date to yesterday, then pull to the final position, where everything pauses, and roll the hands past midnight onto today. Screwed back down, it seals out water to 300 meters while Oris Calibre 733 runs at 4 Hz with a 38-hour power reserve.

Comes as a full set, boxed with warranty documentation.

Painted a bold red, the seconds hand makes a fitting daily nudge to protect the world’s water. For the collector drawn to the Relief as it first launched, before Oris brought it back in a new form, this story deserves a place on the wrist.
