And if I’m buying tomorrow, I want an Oris Aquis Date Calibre 400. Thus, as far as my judgment is concerned, I want an Oris. Beyond that, I want the ultimate expression of capability in specs and design, as well as efficiency of material and cost.

My best is a watch that can keep up with me in all that I do. What I consider best for me is a watch that doesn’t require careful handling. That’s why everyone’s grail is different. Thanks to a design that put efficiency and longevity at the forefront, Oris warranties the movement for 10 years, and recommends a 10 year service interval.Grail watches are supposed to embody the best.
