The Oris That Beats Rolex on Reserve
The Oris Aquis ($2,350) does something no Rolex can: 120 hours of power reserve — nearly twice the Submariner’s 70 hours. The Cal. 400 also comes with a 10-year warranty (vs Rolex’s 5) and antimagnetic silicon components. At 4.4x less cost. The Rolex counters with 904L steel, Cerachrom, Glidelock, and the brand that needs no introduction.
