80th Anniversary Edition
For its 80th anniversary, Oris announces a special bronze edition of its Big Crown Pointer Date. In 1938, Oris introduced a pioneering watch for pilots. It had an oversized crown so that glove-wearing airmen could easily adjust it, and an unusual complication a date indicated by a central pointer hand.
"Designs come and go, but the Big Crown Pointer Date has endured and keeps getting stronger," says Oris's Honorary Chairman, Dr Rolf Portmann. "It's become an Oris signature and a symbol of how strong the company's heritage and brand are."
