Introducing: The Oris Pointer Date Heritage

March 21, 2018

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date has always been a great daily wearer, and this year it is back in a smaller case and with a selection of new dial colors. The watch is now available in either 36mm or 40mm case sizes, both in stainless steel and with a leather strap or a steel bracelet. The dial is the same one you know and love C with Arabic numerals, Cathedral hands, and third hand pointing to the outer date ring (no date windows!) C but the colors were chosen from Le Corbusier's Polychromie architecurale, with a light green option for the 36mm version, a blue-grey option for the 40mm version, and a black option for both. The watches are still powered by the caliber 654, which is based on a Selita SW200-1.? Initial Thoughts As I mentioned, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date has always been a crowd favorite, and adding another case size with interesting dial colors is a good move on Oris's part. Another reason that this watch is so popular is the price point. Both the 36mm and the 40mm versions of this watch are priced under $2,000, which is still a chunk of change but slightly more achievable for those wanting a substantial watch with a cool history.?
