The most iconic and recognizable watch produced by Oris dates back to 1938 when they released the Big Crown Pointer Date. A novel timepiece with a central pointer hand indicator that revolved around the dial to show the date versus the conventional date window which is present in 99% of watches out there.

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition. 40mm in a solid bronze case with a deep green dial.

On the wrist the dark green dial contrasts perfectly with the richness of the bronze case and brown leather strap. Cathedral style hour and minute hands and red accented pointer date hand add just the right amount of 1930’s vintage charm to this piece.
