Oris Aquis Red Limited Edition
MUMBAI: A keen supporter of the Red Sea Environmental Centre’s work to protect one of the world’s top diving sites, Swiss watch manufacturer Oris is delighted to unveil the new Aquis Red Limited Edition. Dedicated to the ongoing support of marine life projects, the latest addition to the Aquis collection celebrates Oris’ commitment to preserving this idyllic seawater inlet.
Nestled between Africa and Asia, the Indian Ocean’s Red Sea is not only one of the world’s top diving sites but also boasts one of the planet’s most diverse ecosystems. A delicately balanced and thriving subaquatic environment that homes over 1,200 species of tropical marine life, the conservation of this lush underwater paradise is overseen by the RSEC.
Oris’ new Aquis Red Limited Edition is dedicated to the important role played by the RSEC. Revamping its sportive Aquis case design with striking red accenting, Oris’ new specialist diving watch clearly displays its allegiance to the Red Sea on its numerals, second hand and the minute-scale upon its unidirectional top ring.
Combatting the wetsuit compression caused by underwater pressure and the need for adjustments whilst below the surface, Oris’ safety anchor and sliding sledge clasp keep the watch attached to the wrist and easily adjustable at all times. Water- resistant to 300m and limited to only 2,000 pieces, the new Oris Aquis Red Limited Edition is presented in a special set.
A tribute to the Red Sea’s wondrous depths and a call to arms for its preservation, this stunning timepiece is the ideal diving companion for those looking for an eye-catching aesthetic underpinned with an environmental consciousness.

SpiceJet’s recovery takes flight as market share doubles
Domestic market share jumps from 1.9 per cent in September to 4.3 per cent by December
GURUGRAM: SpiceJet has staged a sharp domestic comeback, more than doubling its market share in just three months as rapid capacity expansion restores the airline’s presence across key routes.
India’s low-cost carrier lifted its domestic market share from 1.9 per cent in September 2025 to 4.3 per cent by December, driven by a 56 per cent rise in capacity during the third quarter following the induction of 16 aircraft.
The capacity surge translated into a broader network, tighter schedules and stronger passenger traction, helping the airline regain lost ground in several high-traffic markets.
Momentum has continued into the current quarter. SpiceJet doubled its available seat kilometres (ASKMs) from about 55 crore to 105 crore, marking a significant strengthening of its operational footprint. Over the full year, the airline plans to more than double capacity again, targeting 220 crore ASKs by winter 2026 and operating over 300 daily flights.
To support the expansion, SpiceJet is working to scale its fleet to around 60 aircraft through a mix of wet and damp leases, alongside the phased return of grounded planes. The airline has also signed a memorandum of understanding for the induction of 10 additional aircraft.
SpiceJet chief business officer Debojo Maharshi, said the rapid rise in market share reflected steady progress in rebuilding capacity and restoring network depth. The airline’s focus, he added, remained on improving reliability, strengthening connectivity and scaling operations in a measured and sustainable manner.
