Makes my MM600 look rather dainty!
I've always had a soft spot for Oris (my first 'proper' watch), but always struggled with the non-standard lugs on the diver.
Oris ProDiver 4000m.
Very well reviewed, excellently made dive watch
Not for the faint hearted at 49.5 mm case diameter and 23.4 mm thickness
Weight little under 200g
Oris 400 calibre with its 120 hours power reserve
10 year warrantly
Patented bezel design and rubber strap with micro adjustments
It is beautiful. For me. Am going to enjoy wearing this.

Have to say I greatly prefer that to Omega and Rolex's similarly OTT efforts - great design
EDITED: Answer to q. was in the OP! Note to self, don’t be a nob.
23.4mm... that's basically an inch. It's an inch thick. An inch.
I love a big watch and have been having inappropriate dreams about the Omega Ultra deep, but this is another level!!
Not sure how much further you can go in terms of having a watch that will make you musclebound on one arm. Short of making the case out of depleted uranium (...I expect someone is working on it).
I had a Deep Sea on when having a look at the Oris. The steel Rolex is obviously smaller with a near identical depth rating as the titanium Oris. Based on the Rolex, it's a pity that Oris couldn't make it smaller than it currently is especially in titanium, but I did like it. It's huge though.
Enjoy wearing it.

Good for you for getting one Rajen. Incredible feat from Oris. If you have a deep sea challenger that might be a fairer side by side!
I did a video review of this a few weeks back ,its one hell of a watch

If I'd taken that diving instructers job in France 20 years ago, I'd probably have worn that 24/7, it looks "the mutts knuts" and incredible value.

This is the first new watch that I have been interested in for years. (Prob since the first Pelagos)
I am keen to see one in the metal.
Good for you Rajen - what a beast!
Enjoy my friend,

LOve the design and industrial looking appearance, the movement and 10 year warranty are a bonus as well.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
at 4000m half the watch is still at sea level
I really like that.
I had a first generation Oris Pro Diver which was 51mm diameter and about as deep as a hockey puck.
Remarkably, it wasn't too hefty a watch to wear nor was it too much of a liability when wielding it about town.
Really nicely presented with spare rubber and strap changing tool in a pelican case.
This version looks a little less extreme but the dial is an improvement for sure.
Didn't you have the original StuckX diver watch? If so, how doe that compare with this - thickness would be similar IIRC
That StuckX is one of the very few I regret not getting when it came out.
That is an amazing piece. I’m a fan of Oris, I’ve had a TT1 since 2003 and it’s the one I’ll never part with. Wear it in good health.
9mm thick sapphire apparently! Bit too chunky for my liking but an impressive wrist presence.
I do like an Oris diver, and that certainly is one!
I though my Darth Seiko tuna was big and thick
