Oris Aquis Depth Gauge
"Diving Reaches New Depth.....
The first watch launch of our 2013 collection.
Renowned for producing specialist diving watches, Oris is proud to introduce the Oris Aquis Depth Gauge - first divers watch which measures depth by allowing water to enter the timepiece.
A non inertia, responsive, incredibly accurate and actual depth gauge indication – particularly useful in decompression in the lesser depths and be suitable for both the professional and recreation diver alike.
Oris' engineers have applied the Boyle Mariotte Law to the patented Oris Aquis Depth Gauge. This states that if the volume of a gas is decreased, the pressure increases proportionally.
On descent, the air inside the channel milled into the side of the crystal, is compressed with the increase in the atmospheric pressure. The hole in the crystal at 12 o'clock allows water into the channel, which corrseponds with a scale. The edge, in light grey and dark grey, differentiate water and compressed air on the scale around the outside of the dail, indicating the depth while descending or ascending.
