Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date: The bronze age returns (2019)

Oris wraps its signature design in warm bronze, an eternal symbol of the role it played in one of watchmaking’s greatest stories. In 1938, Oris produced a watch that would become known as the Big Crown Pointer Date. It had an oversized crown that could be easily operated by a pilot, even when wearing gloves; large Arabic numerals, so the time could be read quickly; a fluted, grippy bezel; and a central hand with a pointer tip that indicated the date. It was simple, logical, useful – and it worked. The new Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date continues the narrative.
