Why customers love Oris?

I discovered the Oris brand a few years ago on social media thanks to their Propilot Kermit. In my opinion, a marketing genius, the lime green dial with a very modern and angular case, but especially this little Kermit the frog head 🐸 that appears once a month to completely make this watch lose its seriousness. During a stroll in the 6th arrondissement to window shop, I pass in front of the store. Opportunity to physically see this watch and discover the work of Oris. I then discover 2 other very flashy models, the caliber 115 with its skeletonized dial and the laser with its multi-colored dial thanks to a laser treatment never before seen on a watch. The 115 and its 44mm diameter is too imposing for me. But the laser is wonderful. I discover at that moment, the rest of the watch: - an in-house automatic movement with 5 days of power reserve and a precision superior to COSC standards. - a full titanium watch that despite its 39mm diameter is forgotten on the wrist due to its weight and its contained thickness (9.5mm). - a case waterproof to 100m. - a very angular design reminiscent of the American F-117 stealth planes. This design exploited on every detail: case back, crown, bezel... But it was when I took off the watch that I cracked! By manipulating the folding clasp and its "lift" system reminiscent of airplane buckles, I had a crush. Could it be the memory of a childhood spent on Toulouse-Paris flights between my divorced parents; or simply the satisfaction of the clicks of its use as a fidget toy; I can't tell you. What I know is that I wanted it. Gift for my 30th birthday, the budget not being unlimited and preferring a watch with date, I took this magnificent blue dial for 2200€ and still under warranty for 7 years! 5 months that I wear it, it must spend almost half the time on my wrist. Not bad considering the 12 other watches in my collection… I had a problem with the bracelet one day, a blocked link without understanding where it came from. Perfectly managed by the teams of the Oris Montorgueil boutique, 3 weeks in the workshop (in the middle of August…) and it came back like new, the small scratches having disappeared by a gentle polishing and all entirely under warranty. I highly recommend.

A watch that embodies both timeless elegance and practical functionality, sporting a vintage design inspired by iconic aviator watches of the past. The red/burgundy dial plays perfectly with the light, while the distinctively styled Arabic numerals and the railway are enhanced by cathedral hands and the "date pointer". Finally, a well-integrated date on a watch! The 40 mm case, the fluted bezel (repeated around the case back), the screwed "large crown" and a thickness of 12 mm with a domed glass make it a watch balanced between presence on the wrist and wearability. Here on a cork strap, I also wear it on its original leather, a "vintage" tropic or even a Milanese mesh that echoes its bezel. For me, it is the almost perfect daily watch.

Having retrained in watchmaking in 2016, I of course wanted to treat myself to a watch if I got my CAP… Once I got my CAP, I started browsing LBC to find what I wanted (at the time, the DIALICIOUS platform unfortunately didn’t exist…) At that time, ORIS was also making headlines with a reissue of the “diver sixty five” I decided to go looking for a similar model, and after a few weeks I found what I wanted! What’s more, the person was next door to me… A magnificent Oris Star diver from the 1968 era from January (the month of my birthday) according to the inside of the case back. —> Super compressor case, black aluminum bezel, Lacquered dial, tritium index, ringed super dome plexiglass and waterproof crown signed Oris, not screwed down. —> Manufactured movement Oris 645 KIF: - First movement from them with a jeweled Swiss anchor. - Antishock KIF Flector. - Bi-directional bezel in black aluminum and tritium point at 12 o'clock. - Case so super waterproof Compressor of the time with clipped back, diameter 36mm and thickness without the plexi 10mm. - Tropic bracelet from the 60s new in stock found by me. - The crown in the style of big crown finishes the diving look of the time and luckily it is original signed Oris. A very precise watch the Oris 645 manufacture movement is excellent and robust. The watch is very easy to wear with its contained diameter and its low thickness a beautiful skindiver that slips under the sleeve of the office suit 😀

I hesitated with my budget between Longines, Tudor and Oris, I finally let myself be convinced by the small independent resisting the ogres of watchmaking, and it is of course without regret! I opted for the diameter 39.5 despite my 17.5 wrist because I wanted a versatile diver that can be worn as sportswear as well as dressed up and it is a real success! Finally a diver that can also be worn wonderfully in the office!. As for the movement, I have heard a lot about my drift from some, beyond 12 seconds, and well it was perhaps the case for the first releases of the range, but it seems to be corrected because mine, like many others that I have or read on dialicious, does not exceed 4s/day, oris seems to have finally taken the time to carefully adjust their movement and it is very appreciable, especially since for this price range, it is the least we expected. The dial is very well finished, I regret however the too discreet blue, which seems rather black than blue in the majority of lighting but which remains all the same pleasant. The ceramic bezel is of the best effect as for it, the click has a very beautiful sound. The finishes of the bracelet are really excellent, I am impressed to have such a well finished steel for this price, and which does not scratch as easily as I would have thought. The criterion of the indexes and hands is very important to me because they contribute to the overall harmony of a dial, and I am completely satisfied! I would even say that it is the details that made me lean towards this watch when making my decision, the wide hands that end in a point were all I was looking for. The crown protector, for its part, brings a real adventurer side to this watch, which makes it really versatile, especially since with the reduced diameter that I chose, it gains in presence on the wrist, so it can slip under a fireplace at the office, without appearing ridiculously small with a t-shirt. In conclusion, for the undecided who want an excellent alternative to the Tudors that we see everywhere, or the Mido/Hamiltons that are a little too much (entry level) I think that this Oris is perfectly positioned for people who want not to do like everyone else, and to be original without appearing folkloric. The only real point that I regret about this watch is the low-grade movement, as well adjusted as it is, would have deserved to be better finished, when we are talking about a watch around 2500e.

I'm driving my Formula Ford. I arrive at the entrance to the steep slope on the Spa circuit, a quick glance at my Oris ChronOris to know the time I have left before victory ✌️... I raise my head... hard return to reality, I'm at the office and I still have 2 hours of work left. The only consolation is that my Oris chronOris is uncompromising on the time. Its sw200-1 caliber is no joke. To pass the time, I can always look at its orange second hand reminiscent of the needle of speedometers from the 70s/80s. Unless I linger on its black dial, smooth at its ends like the track, or with the central graining that evokes asphalt. The brushed case typical of the seventies, with its polished sides, serves as a rearview mirror, I can see who is coming behind me.... ola it's my boss... At work, but first, let's wash our hands. Damn, I drowned my Oris ChronOris under the tap, phew, luckily it is water-resistant to 100m. The golden hour and minute hand indicates to me on a well-graduated railway that it is almost time to leave. This ChronOris is definitely at home everywhere. On the track, at the office or on the weekend... You will have understood, this watch inspires reverie and an era made of beautiful human conquests.... Small specificity, it is the Movember model, an association working in the field of men's health...

What can I say about this watch? It is simply superb. Whether it is its fluted bezel, its hands, its subtle grey dial or its imposing crown, no lack of taste tarnishes the beauty of this charming Oris. I would add that I love the famous pointer date and that its deer bracelet is both beautiful and comfortable. Its 38 mm diameter seemed small to me but in fact it is in perfect harmony with the vintage style of this model. A discreet and refined watch.

Usually not a fan of skeleton watches, I really had a big crush on this Oris. This watch is of an exemplary finish, its apparent mechanism is captivating. Titanium watch therefore very light, and what to say about its exceptional power reserve which is 10 days!!! The price of 8000€ may seem high for a watch of the Oris brand but this one is well worth it.

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....

Vintage Oris bought on the bay, a few years ago, it is a rather elegant watch with its cream dial and gold indexes. Waterproof, screwed back, pierced horns, antimagnetic, we are in the watch that wants to be versatile for the time. Powered by a caliber 461 kif Oris the watch has period performances but the essential is elsewhere. Very light to wear and of contained size (34mm), it is suitable for both Monsieur and Madame. A beautiful find from the 50s that I wear from time to time.

An acquisition in mid-2022 following a great promotion, of a watch noticed some time ago already. Sometimes (often?!) the price is decisive and this was clearly the case here. No regrets once received, for a real skeleton watch with appreciable characteristics: SW200-1 (and its famous red rotor) with impeccable in-house adjustment, diameter of 40.4, lug-to-lug of 47, thickness of 11.9, weight of 66gr, sapphire crystal, 3atm… I admire it as soon as I wear it (over a week, alternating with the "few" others!). I can potentially fear getting tired of it as the look is so particular, but I remain enthusiastic for the moment, the vibration is very present! The general quality seems excellent, and the comfort of wearing is just as much (in particular by its dimensions and weight). The leather strap and its folding clasp are magnificent. I think Oris pays particular attention to the choice (quality) of its bracelets and it shows. As minor criticisms, I would point out the somewhat limited readability and the mineral glass on the back, not really annoying but for the principle on this type of watch.
