The water around Grinda in early June is about fourteen degrees and I'm in it anyway. That's the use case.
300 m on a 36.5 mm case, 18 mm lugs, and an Aquis bracelet that actually tapers. 11.6 mm thick, which for a proper diver is tidy. The blue dial is clear and the stubby, integrated-looking lugs help a lot on a small wrist, because there's no long horn sticking out past the edge.
The weak spot is the Oris 733, a Sellita with 38 hours. Wear it every day and you'll never notice. Rotate it and you'll be resetting it a lot.
Who's it for: anyone under 16 cm who wants a real dive watch, not a toy-looking 'ladies' version with crystals on the bezel. It's a diver, made smaller, with nothing added to make it 'feminine'. And at 2,200 to 2,400 dollars, it's nearly half the price of a Tudor Black Bay 54.
