Oris Divers Date

A splash of olive green joins Oris’s modern dive watch lineup, and it’s the first new dial color since the model’s 2024 overhaul.

Oris has released a new colorway for its Divers Date collection, ref. 01 733 7795 4057-Set, dressed in an olive green dial styled after vintage military hardware. The 39mm stainless steel case keeps the model’s proportions wearable, while a black ceramic bezel insert, double-domed sapphire crystal, and screw-down crown carry over the practical upgrades that separated this line from its Sixty-Five predecessor.

Inside runs Oris’s automatic Caliber 733-1 with roughly 41 hours of power reserve, visible through a transparent caseback. Water resistance sits at 200m, and Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers handles low-light legibility. The watch comes on a strap with an additional rubber option in the box, and is priced at USD 2,800. A RedBar Limited Edition II variant has also been reported at USD 2,950, though that figure remains unconfirmed.

Both Monochrome and Fratello covered the release the same day, framing it as a small but overdue step for a collection that has largely stuck to darker dial tones since its relaunch. It’s not a dramatic redesign, just a new mood for a watch that already had the specs sorted out.

IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Automatic 35 “Pool”

A splash of summer color lands on IWC’s compact steel sports watch.

IWC has introduced a new dial colorway for its Ingenieur Automatic 35, a watch that has quietly become one of the brand’s most distinctive steel sports models. Dubbed “Pool,” the new reference IW324902 brings an aquatic-toned dial to the line while keeping the rest of the formula unchanged.

The 35mm stainless steel case retains the Ingenieur’s signature integrated bracelet and the five functional screws that frame the bezel, a detail that has defined the model since its earliest days. Inside is an automatic movement, and the Pool dial carries the line’s familiar grid pattern along with rhodium-plated hands and indexes filled with Super-LumiNova for legibility. Pricing was not disclosed alongside the announcement.

This isn’t a new case or movement, but that’s rather the point: IWC is treating the Ingenieur Automatic 35 as a platform for seasonal dial variety, giving an already well-established design a livelier, warm-weather personality without disturbing what makes it recognizable.

Chronoswiss Pulse GMT Frosted Guilloché Gold

The year-old Pulse collection gets its first gold outing, and a new frosted texture to go with it.

Chronoswiss has moved its Pulse GMT into precious metal for the first time with the Frosted Guilloché Gold (ref. CH-4221RM-GR), a 50-piece limited edition priced at €46,500. The 41mm case is 18ct 5N rose gold, weighing in at 48 grams, paired with an integrated black rubber strap rather than a metal bracelet, a practical choice given the case’s heft.

The headline update is the dial: a hand-guilloché brass surface finished with a new frosted, sandblasted texture that catches light differently across the horizontal regulator-style GMT display. That layout separates local and home time without crowding the dial with extra central hands, keeping legibility intact around the brand’s familiar onion crown and coin-edged bezel. Power comes from the in-house automatic caliber C.6002, ruthenium-plated with a tungsten rotor and Côtes de Genève finishing, offering roughly 55 hours of reserve. Water resistance is rated to 50 meters.

Since Pulse only launched in 2025, this gold edition marks an early but telling step for the line, one that trades novelty for material weight and finishing detail rather than a full redesign.
