Oris has been in business for over a century and is one of the last mainstream independent Swiss watch manufacturers and one of the few watchmaking companies operating today without the restraints of a corporate structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One interesting topic during the Q&amp;A was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/oris\/divers-sixty-five-1.html\" title=\"Diver's 65\">Diver&#8217;s 65<\/a>, which VJ credits for putting the brand on the map with the true die-hard watch enthusiasts &#8211; like many collectors in attendance that evening.&nbsp; The irresistible neo-vintage collection brought renewed attention to the brand when it came to market in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VJ also spoke on Oris and their unique relationship with Bob\u2019s Watches. Working directly with a Swiss brand is groundbreaking for a pre-owned platform. VJ explained that Oris chose Bob\u2019s Watches over other companies because we are reputable and treat the Oris brand correctly.&nbsp; Many readers might also be surprised to learn that Oris includes a limited warranty with every Oris watch you buy from Bob\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-10-1024x682.png\" alt=\"VJ speaking on Oris\" class=\"wp-image-57397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-10-1024x682.png 1024w,

the audience, who had some very intriguing questions for VJ, such as how did the popular 2023 Oris ProPilot X Kermit come to be?&nbsp; We were not surprised to learn that the cheeky green watch was not born out of necessity but rather as a way to make people smile, entertain them, and make them happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Watches, Wheels, and Whiskey event was certainly one for the books.&nbsp; After all, you rarely see the Batmobile and the prized Tiffany Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus in the same room.&nbsp; Hope to see you all at the next Bob\u2019s Watches event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
