Oris have created a reputation over the last few years for their impeccable bronze special edition watches. The boom in bronze watches in the late 2010s is arguably responsible to Oris’s popular designs and then capitalised on by other Swiss watch brands. From then on, bronze timepieces are now a staple in many brands collections with Oris still creating beautiful, coloured dials to feature the rich colour with.
The pointer date function was first introduced in 1938 and remains a symbol of the brand to this day, an unusual complication that highlights the date effective by a central pointer hand. As with all big crown watches, the crown is oversized to allow airmen to easily adjust the settings whilst wearing gloves.
A 40mm case is cast in bronze with a fluted bezel that will naturally patina over time. The bronze oxidises, meaning no two watches will look the same having their own unique look over time, as the bronze forms its own colouration with flecks of green and brown. We love the way Oris have developed their skills of casting bronze cases and find that the blue dial of this watch is a fantastic addition to the overall look.
An eye-catching green dial is protected by domed sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflective coating. For increased readability the indices, numbers and hands are coated with Super-Luminova.
With a 38-hour power reserve the watch is powered by an Oris 754, base SW 200-1, Oris believe in the true art form of watch making with none of their products featuring battery movements.
Complete with a two-year international guarantee with the option to extend to three years for free and Oris presentation box, this watch is water resistant to 50 meters. Equipped to the watch is bronze adjustable link bracelet with folding clasp.
