Introducing: The Oris Big Crown Calibre 473: A New (In-House) Movement In A Familiar Package
First introduced in 1938, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is a straightforward, no-nonsense sort of watch, easy to wear, and easy to read, with white arabic numerals reminiscent of an elementary school chalkboard. Its most notable feature is a visible patented date pointer. (It’s red on this model, and it’s often red, but sometimes it’s orange or black, and in the case of the Roberto Clemente model the pointer is gold, in homage to the Pittsburgh Pirates.) Oris is known for high quality at a reasonable price, and the pointer seems the quintessential Oris move, where substance becomes style.
