Product description
The history of Oris and aviation is closely linked. Oris was founded in 1904, at the same time as the beginning of aviation history, and developed the first pocket watch for pilots in the early 1910s. The first pilot's wristwatch followed shortly afterwards in 1917. Thanks to an ingenious mechanism, this watch could only be adjusted by holding a pusher at 2 o'clock. The same pioneering spirit can also be found in the Oris Big Crown, first presented in 1938: the oversized crown can be easily and quickly adjusted with pilot's gloves. Today, Oris' pilot's watch collection includes numerous innovative models that are trusted by pilots all over the world. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is more than just a milestone in a long line of innovative, high-performance watches. While the industry increasingly turned to quartz movements in the 1980s, Oris continued to emphasise the value of mechanical movements. During this time, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date was created, among other things, which for this reason still represents a turning point in Oris history today. In addition to its sleek, round case and iconic horns, it features a fluted bronze bezel, a large crown, a clear, functional dial and a central date hand. With all these significant elements, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date represents one of the most recognisable Oris designs and is also one of the most iconic pieces in the entire watch industry. The new Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is primarily aimed at a new generation of style-conscious, future-orientated lovers of mechanical watches. This is another reason why the Oris designers have once again reworked the case, which in its slightly flatter and sleeker form fits almost seamlessly around the wearer's wrist. This contemporary look is created primarily by the domed sapphire crystal, which emphasises the vintage aesthetic of the watch while conveying a modern feel.
The decision to use bronze for the bezel has its origins in the vibrancy of the material. Over time, the reddish metal develops a patina by reacting with the humidity in the air during wear. This unique characteristic means that after a certain time, no two models are the same. Each watch is unique to its owner. In keeping with the Oris principle of producing only mechanical watches, the Big Crown Pointer Date runs on an original Swiss Made mechanical automatic movement. This movement drives the rose gold-coloured hour, minute, second and date hands. The date can be read off the central hand on a scale on the outer dial. The warm look of the case is emphasised by a natural leather strap. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date thus perfectly combines Oris' long-standing watchmaking history with the traditional house's characteristic demand for innovation and zeitgeist.
