In Full Color
The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date has been an aviation icon since 1938. Now, it returns with a playful twist—vibrant dial options and a sleek new bracelet. While its look feels fresh, the model remains true to its original tool-watch spirit.
A Legacy Born in the Skies
Originally designed for gloved pilots, the Big Crown stood out for its large numerals, oversized crown, and distinctive pointer date complication. The red-tipped central hand circles a 31-day scale at the edge of the dial, a feature that has defined the model for nearly 90 years of continuous production.

Reliable Mechanics, Swiss Heartbeat
At its core is the Oris caliber 754, based on the dependable Sellita SW200. It features 26 jewels, beats at 28,800 vph, and offers a 41-hour power reserve. The movement powers hours, minutes, central seconds, and, of course, the signature date by pointer hand.
Playful Dial Options with Classic Functionality
You can choose from three dial colors: warm yellow, turquoise blue, or soft lilac. Bold Arabic numerals and SuperLuminova-filled hands and indices ensure visibility, blending vintage style with modern readability.
Refined Bracelet with Everyday Comfort
