Ep 382: the Final Oris Divers Sixty-Five and our Favorite Gateway Watches

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach and Kat are talking all about their gateway watches. Inspired by the launch of the final version of the Oris Divers Sixty-Five, an historically accurate tribute to the earliest versions of the iconic diver, they discuss some of the watches that brought them into the hobby years ago, and what makes for a good “gateway” watch, anyway. The Divers Sixty-Five, of course, was a forum favorite when it was introduced a decade ago, and likely responsible for many enthusiasts getting their foot in the door. 

We’d love to know which watches in your collection, or maybe a previous version of your collection, were your gateways into the hobby. Leave those in the comments and let us know what you think the gateway watches of today are, or if they haven’t changed much from those of a previous generation.
