ABOUT ORIS

For over 115 years, Oris has been making purely mechanical watches in Hölstein, Switzerland. The symbol of Oris mechanicals is the red rotor - it's a sign of the natural power that fuels the watches, and a registered trademark. Comprised of four worlds: Culture, Diving, Aviation and Motor Sport, Oris watches are made for everyday wear and offer the luxury of common sense. That means Oris provides the best possible watch for the money, using useful complications and functional designs. Staying true to a rich heritage, Oris is one of the few Swiss watch companies to remain independently owned and operated.

THE HISTORY OF ORIS WATCHES

Founded by Paul Cattin and George Christian in 1904 in the Swiss town of Hölstein, Oris first created wristwatches in 1925. In 1938, Oris watches introduced its first watch for pilots, featuring a big crown to enable its wearers to easily change the setting whilst wearing gloves.

1952 saw the first Oris automatic watch with a power reserve indicator and a patented mechanism. 1991 saw another huge pioneering achievement when the Calibre 581 was released, featuring a moon-phase module. Thirteen years later, the Quick Lock Crown system was launched, requiring only one single clockwise turn to secure it.

2013 saw the release of Oris ProDiver Pointer Moon. Influenced by Oris watches’ dedication to diving, this was the world’s first mechanical watch to show both the lunar cycle and the tidal range.

In recent years, Oris has partnered with the Australian Marine Conservation Society to protect and preserve the Great Barrier Reef and also joined forces with the Common Wadden Sea Secretariat as part of Oris’ Change for the Better campaign. The company has launched limited-edition watches to support and raise awareness for these causes, including the Oris Aquis- Dat Watt Limited Edition men’s watch.
