Since 1904, Oris has always overcome the difficulties of the times with honest and precise work. And with unique ideas to turn mechanical watches into timepieces.
Swiss precision, bold design and innovation - these are the main features of this prestigious watchmaking brand, which once again comes up with enticing new products for lovers of quality automatic watches.
delving into the details of the new models, it is worth recalling the rich history of this Swiss brand. Oris was founded in 1904 in Hölstein, Switzerland, a small town in the Waldenburg Valley. The founders, Paul Cattin and Georges Christian, named their company after a nearby stream, and from the start focused on producing mechanical watches of the highest quality.
Over its 118 years of existence, Oris has built a reputation for producing watches with excellent value for money. All Oris watches are fully mechanical - the brand has never gone the route of quartz movements, which commands well-deserved respect from true watch lovers.
Today, the Oris collection is divided into four main categories:
Each line has its own distinctive features, but all are united by Swiss precision and reliability.
Enjoy the elegance and perfection of watchmaking in the new Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400. The angular lines of the 39mm case, as well as its satin sandblasted finish and larger crown, reference the inspiration of durable aviation watches. The technical look is complemented by the familiar ProPilot lunette and a textured titanium bracelet.
The dial on the front can be chosen in grey, blue or salmon. All variants are crafted with exceptional attention to detail, each offering its own distinctive character:
The back of the watch offers a fascinating glimpse of the Oris Calibre 400 movement with up to five days of power. Its accuracy is -3 to +5 seconds per day within chronometer certification standards. Even after being exposed to some form of the magnetic fields we are surrounded by every day.
The Calibre 400 series machines contain more than 30 non-ferrous and anti-magnetic parts and have been developed to minimize friction and wear -- for example, the winding rotor uses a plain bearing system that significantly extends life. Thanks to these innovative features, Oris offers an incredible 10-year warranty on this watch, clearly demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in the quality of its products.
The Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 automatic watch is a perfect example of how to combine functionality with elegance. The titanium case ensures exceptional durability while maintaining a light weight, which is especially appreciated by those who wear their watches all day long. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment guarantees excellent legibility in all lighting conditions.
Water resistance to 100 meters allows carefree use in most water activities. The integrated titanium bracelet with safety folding clasp provides not only wearing comfort but also a high level of security.
The admirable diver's watch returns with two colourways that take the fascinating touch of real gold above the ordinary timepiece. The 41.5mm case offers either a forest green or dark blue dial.
The counterpoint to the dark depths in both variants is the glamorous outer edge of the unidirectional lunettes in 18k gold. But the hands, indices and even the minute scale are also rendered in the precious metal, completing the balanced, cohesive look of the design.
In both versions, the watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet and a rubber strap in matching green or blue, which can be easily switched using Oris ' patented system known as Quick Strap Change, i.e. without the need for any tools. This innovative system allows the watch to adapt to any occasion in seconds - from a formal meeting to a weekend adventure.
The Aquis Date Bi-Colour combines the elegance of precious metal with the ruggedness of a diver's watch, making it a versatile timepiece for any occasion. While the gold adds a touch of luxury, the technical specifications remain uncompromising:
The watch boasts a Calibre 400 automatic movement, which gives the watch an enhanced level of resistance to magnetic surroundings and a five-day power reserve. The Calibre 400 represents the pinnacle of Oris' technological development and offers:
As with all watches in the Calibre 400 series, both pieces come with a 10-year warranty when registered with MyOris, making this automatic watch not only a luxury accessory but also a sound investment.
Oris watches represent the perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Each model is assembled by hand by Swiss watchmakers who continue a tradition that spans over a century.
Oris automatic watches are renowned for their reliability and durability. For collectors, these watches represent an exciting investment opportunity. Thanks to limited editions, excellent quality and the growing popularity of the brand, Oris models often maintain or even increase their value over time.
Do not hesitate to see the watches in person in one of the BENY boutiques in the centre of Prague.
