Gents Watches

Founded in 1904, in the picturesque village of Hölstein in the North-west of Switzerland, Oris is one of a small handful of Swiss watch brands that makes only mechanical watches. It is constantly striving to make better watches that offer beautiful, innovative functions and advanced performance levels.

Still based in the same building in which they began, which has expanded to accommodate the growing company, Oris is an independent company, which means its values are in safe hands. Fiercely proud of its long history and heritage: an Oris watch is an item built to last and provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

Oris began making pilot's watches in the 1910s at the dawn of aviation and has pioneered in the field ever since. Introduced in 1938, the Big Crown Pointer Date has been in constant production for more than 80 years. The original had two distinctive features – an oversized crown so the watch could be operated by gloved airmen, and a central hand that pointed to a date scale around the edge of the dial. The form has become Oris’ signature design, a Swiss watchmaking icon, and a byword for beautiful, functional, timeless watchmaking.

To mark the 80th anniversary of this landmark watch, Oris has created the Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition, a special piece with a 40mm case, fluted bezel and oversized crown cast in bronze, and a striking green dial. Bronze patinates naturally as it oxidises, so that each watch will take on a unique finish over time. The deep green of the dial also has a natural feel, complementing the bronze case.
