I like the new Oris vintage diver a lot !
Cool piece.
Only the size of only 40mm is a bit too small I think.
42mm would perfect.

My only complaint is the 10Atm (100m) water resistance rating...come on and at least make it 20Atm (200m).
Chris, I think the depth rating is a tribute to the old dive watch from Oris in the pic above.
I think the new Oris vintage diver is tested for more pressure.
Agree with you on the size Phil!...42mm would be absolutely perfect with this one, but it will likely still work and feed into that vintage vibe.
I don't see anything from ORIS that would have me believe that they test this diver to more pressure than the 100m on the dial (and the caseback)...seems hard to believe that it is not capable of a true "diver" rating of 200m. I might just be willing to dive with this one and see how she does, even with the 100m rating. I don't go any deeper than 120 feet, and that's usually on accident...always try to keep things < 110 feet on the first dive anyway.
(I think I'm in need of a dive vacation!)
