Few brands can boast a history of making pilot’s watches that dates back to 1910, and Oris is one of them. The Big Crown Pointer Dates pay homage to this early era by pairing a cla ssical complication with vintage typography, and a coin-edge bezel case. Deftly riding the line between a refined casual timepiece and vintage inspired sports watch, the Big Crown Pointer Date has a presence and charm that is unique amongst watches currently on the market. Featuring a 40mm case with mixed brushed and polished surfaces, the Big Crown Pointer Date is a modern take on a vintage-aesthetic. The beautiful finishing is set off by the rounded, coin-edge bezel, which speaks strongly to early 20th century pilot’s watches. Similarly, the cathedral hour and minute hands add to the antique charm. The dial is then a series of indexes featuring a thin, elegant typeface. The namesake complication stands out along the outer edge of the dial, providing a unique and highly legible date presentation. Inside of the Big Crown Propilot Big Date is the Oris 754-1 / Sellita based movement. This is a 26-jewel Swiss-made automatic with 38-hour power reserve, pointer date, hacking seconds and a frequency of 28,800 bph. Visible through the display case back, the Oris 754-1 also features their signature red rotor. Show more
