Watch of the day
What's my wrist-wear choice for today?
My Flavor Of The Day

For my Thursday WOTD, foggy, dreary skies definitely called for something with a little color on my wrist, to brighten the day. The Oris Aquis, Great Barrier Reef, Limited Edition II, is just the timepiece for the job.
Oris is a brand that is known for both racing and dive watches. The Aquis is such a solid model, it almost makes you forget that Oris has any racing bloodlines at all. With this particular model, I love the unconventional day/date display, highlighted by yellow font / text. And the additional pops of yellow throughout the dial, are perfectly framed against the blue dial and black bezel; this piece is a real stand-out.
Staying with the alternate, yellow strap on this piece, as it just screams Spring / Summer. Complimenting this piece, is a set of custom beads, designed and crafted by Beads By Gonzo, to let even more sunshine in on my wrist.
