Introducing the New Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 29mm
The new Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 29mm reimagines the iconic model with a compact 29mm stainless‑steel case, 11.4mm thickness and a 35.5mm lug‑to‑lug length, preserving the classic fluted bezel and oversized crown while adding a tapered, more comfortable crown. A domed sapphire crystal with internal anti‑reflective coating protects the dial, and the screwed caseback features a see‑through mineral glass window. Water resistance is rated at 50 m. The watch is offered in black or rose‑gold‑coloured dials, each combining a sunburst‑finished central section with a grained outer surface, and includes a Pointer Date scale marked with dots and Arabic numerals, skeletonised hour and minute hands, and a smaller tip on the central date hand. Powered by the automatic Oris Calibre 534 (based on the Sellita SW 221‑1), the movement runs at 28,800 vph, offers a 42‑hour power reserve and drives hours, minutes, seconds and an instantaneous date function with date corrector and stop‑seconds feature. Buyers can choose between a leather strap or a stainless‑steel bracelet with a butterfly folding clasp, with prices of CHF 1,950 for the leather version and CHF 2,150 for the steel bracelet.
Buying Time Analysis: The story highlights Oris’s strategic revival of a historic model, showcasing innovative design updates and accessible pricing that reinforce the brand’s heritage while attracting new collectors.
