Oris Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
Vintage inspired watches are all the rage these days, and during Baselworld 2017, we saw the release of the Oris Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition watch, a limited edition piece that is very faithful to Oris’ recently discovered first pilot’s watch. Oris believed their first pilot’s watch was the 1938 Big Crown, but it turns […]
Oris Divers Sixty-Five 42mm Watch Hands-On
High on my list of favorite watches from Baselworld 2016 is the Oris Divers Sixty-Five 42mm (aka “Sixty-Five 42”). Sharing a few common traits with the previous smash-hit Divers Sixty-Five, this new 42mm model is a bit bigger and has an entirely different dial, with a more traditional dive watch layout and a lovely gradated […]
Oris Divers Sixty-Five Watch With Green Dial
First blue, and now green. Oris has fought the regular impulse to offer a black dial for the Oris Divers Sixty-Five 42mm watch, and instead has launched a new green-dialed version of their handsome vintage-inspired design. Green dial watches are rather uncommon, but Oris has elected for a deep green that they call “oceanic,” a […]

Oris Aquis Depth Gauge Chronograph Watch Review
Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II Watch
Back in 2013, Oris first collaborated with Australia’s Royal Flying Doctors Service, with the product of their initial partnership being the Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition watch based on the 44mm dual-crown Big Pilot series.

Oris Artelier Calibre 113 Watch
In the world of horology, the term “in-house” is generally associated with high-end luxury timepieces which are often exorbitantly priced, and this makes owning one a distant dream for many watch aficionados out there. But in recent times, a few brands including Oris seem to have acknowledged the situation and aimed to bridge this gap […]
Oris Williams Chronograph Carbon Valtteri Bottas Limited Edition Watch Hands-On
The Oris Williams Valtteri Bottas Limited Edition is currently at the top of the ladder when it comes to Swiss Oris’ “motorsport” watch collection. When checking it out at Baselworld 2016, it struck me that the racing-themed Oris timepieces might not get as much attention as they deserve when compared to their diving or pilot […]
Oris Hammerhead Limited Edition Watch
For the last two editions of Baselworld, Oris has taken mighty swings at their mid-century heritage, delivering the Diver Sixty-Five in 2015, and then a slew of vintage re-editions in the seasons that followed. For 2017, the independent Swiss watchmaker is ushering in a new generation with its core sports watch collection, the Aquis, and […]
