Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

Wanting a watch in 2023 to mark the year of birth of my first child, and not having the budget for a new madness, I set my sights on this Pointer Date Bronze for the following reasons: - I wanted a watch with a bronze case, for the unique patina and color. - Sensitive to watches with fluted bezels, this one was somewhat similar - The slight date pointer complication pleased me for its originality. Initially purchased on a leather strap, of poor quality, I was finally able to find the highly coveted bronze bracelet 07 8 20 01, in grains of rice. A little fearful of a potential bling bling rendering, and not used to metal bracelets, I finally fell in love with this combination. The patina of the bronze very quickly makes the watch matte, and therefore unique, and the wearing is very pleasant. So to conclude, I am absolutely a fan of this watch, of its very unique character in my collection (I would not have made it my only watch), of the blue/bronze contrast that I love, of the little touch of red on the pointer, of the bezel, of the bracelet/watch integration....

Classic model from Oris, it is here in the 80th anniversary version with a bronze case. The combination of this material, which has been brought up to date for some time, with the matte dark green dial, the cathedral hands and the leather strap is very effective and very coherent I think. Not being a fan of date windows, the "pointer" with its little red guide brings additional originality to the model. The dial is very readable due to the absence of superfluous inscriptions. The movement is visible on the case back with the red balance wheel, Oris' signature. For a year and a half my model has acquired a nice patina and finally I prefer it this way, knowing that it will be able to regain all its original shine if necessary.
