The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 is finally the Oris sport watch I have been asking for. This is the first non-dressy or traditional watch (depending on how you look at it) to include Oris in-house made movement. Oris currently has two in-house made movements known as the Calibre 110 and the Calibre 111. The former was released in 2014 as a lim [...]

In a surprising move, Oris, makers of the very cool Aquis Depth Gauge, have released a modern re-interpretation of a vintage dive watch from their history. Shown at Baselworld 2015, the new Oris Divers Sixty-Five is really only new in terms of manufacturing, with this watch representing an update to a model that is now 50 years old. With more modern proportions, but certainly no deficit of charm, [...]

One of the most exciting announcements for Oris watches last year in 2014 was the debut of their first (modern) in-house made movement known as the Calibre 110 (announced on here). Until then, Oris hadnt produced an in-house movement since 1982, at which time, the company decided to only produce mechanical modules that wo [...]

And the award for the best watch commemorating a jazz legend in 2014 is Well, okay, its not a particularly crowded field. Still, after wearing the new Oris John Coltrane Limited Edition model (Reference 01 733 7681 4084-Set LS) almost non-stop for a couple of weeks, Id have to nominate it-not just for that award, but perhaps t [...]

Known as the Oris Audi Sport Limited Edition ref.?01 774 7661 7481, the watch is very much part of the larger Oris Artix racing [...]

For 2014, Oris has released a new timepiece which is the worlds first automatic mechanical watch with an altimeter. Called the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Alitmeter, the piece continues the brands notion of attempting to include useful complications in its watches for racing, diving, and of course aviation. In a sense, t [...]

New for 2014 from Oris is the Big Crown ProPilot collection of watches. The Big Crown is an existing popular model family from the Swiss brand, and the Big Crown ProPilot adds a new series to their already pretty good collection of pilot watches. Cant have enough aviator watches right? Today, I am going t [...]

Oris is one our of favorite Swiss watch brands when it comes to offering a durable, useful design in a relatively affordable package. We especially like their sport watches including racing chronographs and of course divers. Until now most people know Oris as a company that sources movements from other Swiss companies to put into their watches. There is nothing wron [...]

Last year one of the most talked about dive watches was Oris surprise hit, the Aquis Depth Gauge. I dont think Oris realized what a hit it would be, and even we were surprised by how many people professed their desire for this watch. Oris is well-known as a producer of well-made, extremely durable, and rugged looking mechanical Swiss dive watches. There [...]

ORIS Air Racing III Limited Edition Watch for 2013While I am a huge fan of pilot watches, and certainly of flying as an efficient and economical form of transportation, when ORIS invited me to attend the Reno Air Races in Nevada, I had a small pause due to a terrible accident there a few years ago and also the fact that Breitling has been historically such [...]

My most recent new watch was an Oris Diver Titan C Small Second. Before discussing the watch itself Id like to discuss how I came upon it. Watch enthusiasts really need a 12 step program. We are hardwired to always think about watches, our best bet is to channel our addiction to timepieces properly. Watches are where my brain wanders to d [...]

If you recognize this new limited edition Oris watch as familiar, that is because it is. The new Air Racing Edition III watch is based on the very popular Oris BC3 watch collection a handsome tool-style watch with a high level of refinement and under-the-radar-personality. It is an easy favorite of ours when we want something legit, but not complicated to look at or thin [...]

While we are enduring fans of all things dive + Oris, their racing-inspired watches have always been both a great deal and great looking. This new limited edition Calobra model for 2013 is a shining example of how Oris does motorsports-themed watches right. Oris isnt new to the racing watch game, and steadily offers new models each year. The sad thing about the [...]

When it comes to auto racing, you dont find much of it on TV outside of standard NASCAR and drag racing (at least not here in the States). Many years ago though, I discovered the sport of rally racing, and I was hooked. Theres just something fun about watching cars racing against the clock, sliding through (generally) unpaved surfaces. And thats the sport that this [...]

Capillary-style depth gauges are nothing new or particularly advanced, but they are simple and effective. Oris has managed to design one into one of its dive watches. The result is a mechanical watch with a non-electronic depth gauge that does not cost an arm and a leg. IWC and Jager-LeCoultre already proved to us that they can make those and that is fa [...]

Continuing their relationship with deep-going free diver Carlos Coste, Oris produces another limited edition dive watch for the world record holder. This new watch is the Oris Carlos Coste Limited Edition Cenote Series timepiece and will be offered as a set of 2000 pieces.Coste just completed a new dive record by diving to 150 meters into the Don Ojos ce [...]

The GMT version of the updated Oris BC3 comes as a limited edition done for the Oris Big Crown Sky Racing team. Why does Big Crown need to be in that term? I know that Big Crown is a line if watches from Oris, but does that mean there are other Oris Sky Racing teams? Anyhow that BC3 Air Racing Limit [...]
