Oris Watches – Affordable Swiss-made Watches

A good quality Swiss watch for my collection – that was my next target. I consider myself a watch fan; by which, I mean I own a small collection of watches in my wardrobe. Over the years I’ve purchased timepieces from different brands while some have been gifted by friends and family. And in the course of my purchases, I’ve learnt a lot about the quality, the make and the brand of watches.

My collection lacked a genuine Swiss-made watch, so this year I planned on filling up that gap. My exploration of the online watch scene led me to the Oris brand of wristwatches displayed at Citywatches.co.uk. The site has an impressive collection of watches from various brands to suit every budget. But for me, the Oris watches stood out from the other Swiss made brands on offer.

Oris makes luxury watches which would easily compare in quality with the TAG Heuer brand or the Omega but would cost you much less. They are well crafted watches using automatic movements that blend both modern and vintage design to create some fabulous and eye-catching timepieces.

It looked like my search for a genuine Swiss made watch ended with the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Automatic. I was impressed with the solid and graceful look of this watch – it is a simple but classic. The design consists of a round stainless steel case enclosing a black dial contrasted with white Arabic numerals, white hour and minute cathedral style hands. The screw down crown, brushed and polished to a steely gleam and a coin-edged bezel gives the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Automatic an old-school yet sporty look.

The pointer date feature in this timepiece adds an element of intricacy to the dial which I think, would otherwise appear distinctly plain. The fourth hand which is the pointer date, is finished with a small red accent at the tip for added legibility of the date scale placed on the outer edge of the dial.  A black leather strap completed the ensemble.

At 40mm case diameter, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 01 754 7741 4064-07 5 20 65 Automatic Men’s Watch, wasn’t huge, just the right size for me. The Oris Pointer Date Automatic is a superb everyday watch that wears well on the wrist. Oris makes distinctive use of colour in designing their timepieces and this is evident in the availability of different coloured models in the Pointer Date collection of watches. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Automatic, a genuine Swiss made watch, is the perfect choice as a casual or functional accessory that showcases your perfect taste for high quality products. Oris watches are great value for money. The price tag is considerably lower compared to other Swiss made luxury watches with similar features.
