Oris

Oris is recognized by collectors as a brand that has expertly balanced and blended the classical art of traditional watchmaking with the demands and conveniences of contemporary life. Established in 1904, they are an independent Swiss company that is renowned for their craftsmanship.

With an early focus on watches for the newly developing aviation industry, they became famous for their Oris Big Crown, launched in 1938. The large crown that inspired its name was specifically designed to make it easy for pilots to adjust the watch mid-flight while wearing their bulky gloves. They only produce mechanical watches adhering to the Oris motto: Things must make sense. With a rich history spanning over 100 years, Oris has truly carved out a distinct identity and legacy in the luxury watchmaking industry.
