Originally introduced as a watch for pilots in 1938, Oris’ Big Crown Pointer Date has remained in constant production for nearly a century. Oris has retained the original’s oversized crown and pointer-date complication while subtly tweaking the design with its latest collection. Effortlessly blending Oris’ vintage sports watch heritage with modern design, the Big Crown Pointer Date remains one of the most unique watches on the market.
The new 40mm Big Crown Pointer Date elevates the vintage-inspired sports watch’s athleticism with three new dials and a three-link stainless steel bracelet. With vibrant yellow, sky blue, and inviting navy dials, Oris has injected a playful spirit into their classic sports watch. The Pointer Date 40mm features a brushed bezel versus earlier coin-edge variants, giving it a modern edge.
Powering the Big Crown Pointer Date 40mm is the Oris 754. A Sellita-derived movement, the Swiss-made caliber features 26 jewels, automatic and hand winding, hacking, pointer date, a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, and a power reserve of at least 41 hours.
