A Closer Look at Oris Watches

- Oris is what I consider an honest watch company in that when you buy an Oris, you know the movement included with your watch, and while silicon is used to minimize magnetization, it is not used in the hairspring, allowing an original and useful regulator for fine spring adjustment.

Bill I am very impressed by their 400 and 115 movements.
Yes, Oris has been coming right along Amatrice. Take care, Bill
I have the Wings of Hope; it's a lot of watch for the money (and for a good cause). It has really surprised me and simply changing the (quick-change) strap completely changes its character. It's accurate, discrete, well made, and comfortable to wear and has seen a place in my rotation far more regularly than expected.
Regarding the Okavango, yes it is in Africa and, in particular, is in Botswana. What's interesting about it, is that the Okavango River, which is the fourth-longest river system in Southern Africa, does not end in the ocean, an inland sea, or a swamp. It's delta, rather, is in the middle of the Kalahari Desert! Annual floods change it from an arid landscape to an amazing network of waterways, temporary pools, etc. that is one of the world's most unusual (and best) places to go on safari...
Wow Andrew! That sounds like a very interesting place to fly into! We used to land in a dry lakebed in California ... possible to land in any direction! Flying over the northwestern corner of Baja California in Mexico (where the land meets the Sea of Cortez) where what's left of the Colorado River trickles into the sea sounds similar to the end of the Okavango River. Take care Bill
"I used to have an airplane", casually said by Bill.
Yes, QH, that was a period in my life that was a true adventure-for me it was a big deal at the time, but now 30 years later, it's 'Once upon a time." Take care, Bill
My wife just gifted me the PropilotX Kermit for an upcoming Birthday. I had been watching/reading everything about it and tried on the various Oris offerings at a local AD. I'm still in the honeymoon period with Kermit, but so far I love it, 'warts and all.'
Happy to hear that JHC. Always important to get a user view! Take care, Bill
I think Oris offer great value for money, great divers and sports watches as well. I really like also that they offer 10 years guarantee on their watches and also their use of different materials in cases, and dials. Thanks Bill 🙏🏽
I should pay more attention to warranties and guarantees ... and 10 years sounds like more than enough, Abdul. I wonder what the Étude N°1 has?🤔 Take care, Bill
Another good thing about caliber 400, besides 5 days powerreserve is, you get a 10 years warenty on the movement when you registrate the watch at Oris. Furthermore it is only recemented to be serviced every 10 years. I am now waiting for my 49,5 mm divewatch with a caliber 400 movement.
Great point Andre! Take care, Bill
I have an Oris big Crown Date Pointer, blue dial. Just beautiful and impressive high quality to a really low price!
Really nice to watch your channel!
Keep it up!🫶
Hey Hans, thanks man! Take care, Bill
Bill, first happy holidays and thanks for all your vids. I've bought my wife an oris. It's been a terrific watch and taking a beating, I never pull the trigger on one for myself but I keep looking!
Oris has great watches but you're wise in not pulling the trigger until just the one you want, David. Merry 🎅..Take care, Bill
I have an Aquis Source of Life. Beautiful details and built like a tank. Movement is the SW200-1 base. It was my only mechanical daily watch until I added an LUC to my collection. My Aquis has a tungsten bezel which makes it extremely scratch resistant (more than ceramic), brilliant lume, and a striking turquoise sunburst dial. Oris is a fantastic brand and with the Calibre 400 it made a statement regarding durability and reliability (10 year warranty and service interval). Great to see you showcasing one of the few remaining independent brands.
Hey Aamir! Thanks for those details..Take care, Bill
Just commenting for the algorithm while I'm watching the video. Love this content
The algorithm? Glad you liked it Healing! Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci The TH-cam "algorithm" recommends your video to more people when it gets more interactions such as likes and comments. Keep up the great work
That last movement sound so sweet with its high power reserve👌❤️
I know, 10 days John! Wind it and forget it for almost 2 weeks! Take care, Bill
Bought an Oris Aquis Green dial 300meters with the Sellita 200-1 movement, it works fine, love it! reliable i've been wearing it for 3yrs now...
Great to hear! Frampton. Your judgement is the final and most important one for watches you buy. Take care, Bill
I had a Big Crown ProPilot Date that my dealer included for free when I bought a Bremont. Without a doubt, the best watch I’ve ever owned at that price point. Kidding aside, that wound up being my worn daily wristwatch for the next four years. I upgraded to an Otis Altimeter which I didn’t know existed until they came out with the carbon fiber model. I do aerial sports so an altimeter watch fits my personality. It’s a very large watch but thankfully I have the wrist for it. Oris provides a lot of watch for the price and is second maybe only to Christopher Ward in that area.
Thanks for that Jason. It's always important to hear from someone who owns the watch and model. Take care, Bill
Hi, thank you for the content. I bought a red Oris Big Crown in Sevilla late November and am very happy with it. Always a good thing to know that lesser known watch brands are given coverage by people like you. Good job Bill!
Great to hear Angel! Take care, Bill

@@pamelamartinez8842 ¿Qué le pasa a Oris? Nada en realidad...
Artelier - James Morrison - beautiful!
Hey Baron, glad you like Oris. Take care, Bill
Funniest thing is they actually managed to design the Calibre 400 to look like the Oris bear mascotte @18:45
That is interesting, Harlem Wave. Take care, Bill
brilliant video as always. i especially enjoyed the info re cal115...and the image of it! waow! :-) merry xmas
Thanks Bikerd! Yes, that 10-day power reserve in the Ca. 115 ... and everything else about it is very cool. Merry 🎅! Take care, Bill
great info here just subscribed, I just picked up the Oris 41.5 Upcycle
Welcome aboard, Phillip! Take care, Bill
Bought my 65 almost 4 years ago as a daily driver. Runs at -3 sec per day. Cannot fault it.
That Holstein looks like a poor mans version of your Parmigiani duel time and since Oris likes dairy cows then a appropriate name for the Rectangle watch would be Guernsey, Ayrshire, Jersey, Montbeliarde, or Brown Swiss!!! Man I like that last movement. Just wish it was in a case and package that was nicer!
Hey Leigh ... you got a point for the Frackin' Gulch football team (Saturday night lights) ... the Brown Swiss. I agree about the Oris 115 movement ... put it in a nice clean case, and let 'er rip for 10 days at a wind! Merry 🎅...Take care, Bill
Thanks Dr.!
Most welcome, Javi!Take care, Bill
The Oris in house calibers look fantastic. I like the Propilot X, particularly the 'turbine' shaped beveling. :)
I agree, Lexcoaster! A while back I did a video on their "new" (at the time) movements ... the 100 series. Now they have the 400, which is fantastic and still some of the 115 at work. Take care, Bill
When Bill said he would be looking at their In-House movement later, and that he really liked it, how did I know it would be running at 3hz?
I have had one of their GMTs, which I really liked, but it was on a rubber strap that I hated and could not change because of the design, so I let it go.
I still have an old vintage Oris that I keep in my beater draw.
Hey Rog, 3Hz (or less) with me is always a good guess! I've got rubber straps on my two Roger Dubuis and I'll probably have to get a specially made leather strap to replace them ... three lugs...Take care, Bill
Merry Christmas Bill. Oris is one of my favourite brands and own many. I have the TT1000, Carysfort reef , Hangang, Big crown pointer date, 1917 Limited Edition , James Morrison
Hey C-WatchMonkey! That's quite a few! So many surprises like your '27 James Morrison. Merry 🎅! Take care Bill
I also really like Oris, but I always feel like they fall a little short on something, I don't know exactly what.
@@watchartsci sorry I meant to say say Oris 1917 It is a limited edition that they did a couple years ago that they discovered by chance. Worth looking up, you may really like this one
Hi Bill, I recently discovered you channel and wanted to let you know I find it very informative. This video in particular is great - I’ve been considering buying the Oris big crown pointer date calibre 403. I love everything about the design of it but my one reservation was whether the movement justified the almost doubling in price over Sellita-based models in the range. Other reviews said it was a good movement but didn’t go into as much detail as you. Now I feel confident it’s a watch I want. So thanks for that.
Incidentally, I saw a comment by you on another video about you liking the lacquer dials, instead of the enamel ones, on the anordain model 1s. I have one (off white) and love it. It’s a great dress/smart-casual watch.
A question if I may. I know you’re a fan of Habring2. So am I. I’m looking at its Globetrotter model as a dress GMT watch. It’s either that or the Grand Seiko SBGM221. Any insight on either watch would be much appreciated.
I happen to like the Globetrotter by H2, and I'd get it before an Oris or a GS. The watches by Habring2 have 'soul' if that makes any sense to you, Wayne. Take care, Bill
Great video! I‘ve always liked Oris, though I don‘t have any of their watches.
Funny, I too like them, but I don't have one, Ced. Merry 🎅. Take care, Bill
Enjoy wearing my Oris Big Crown x Cervo Volante. The pointer date is fun, you actually hear it click when the date changes.
Hey Gillesderais I like the Cervo Volante model! I need to get a pointer date watch. Take care, Bill
Planning on buying the caliber 400 Aquis 😊
Sounds like an Oris fan, Frampton! Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci it's not a sin to dream!, but 1or 3 brand of your collection that i can own would be a lifetime fullfilment for me! Hahaha! Thanks Bill for all the info you are giving to the watch enthusiasts like me 😊
Oris has a new Caiber 435. 5 day power reserve, power reserve indicator on back of watch and it is a manual wind. It is being released first in the big crown pointer date.
Oris is making a lot of good moves lately, Mark. Take care, Bill
My first luxury watch was an Oris Aquis Hangang Limited Edition. Thanks for sharing these insights. Do you have any concerns about reliability of Caliber 400?
I like the Cal. 400 a great deal ... nice big balance wheel with inertia galore!Take care Bill
The watch is probably called Spirit of the 90's because it is a reissue of a watch from that time, the Oris Artelier Worldtimer, which also measures 36mm. I don't know if it is also a reissue of the caliber.
Thanks for your help to Mexico Bill.
My pleasure Oscar! I also remember that during hurricane Katrina, Mexico aided the US. It's important for neighbors to help each other in times of need. Take care, Bill
I recently bought the Pro Pilot X with cal 115 based on the uniqueness of the movement. I adore it. The case is titanium and proportions are excellent so it wears much smaller than the specs would suggest. The snail gears you've highlighted are for the non-linear power reserve indicator, I assume. Their placement right below the power reserve, and the fact that they are non-linear, lead me to think they're related.
Hey Tyler, I greatly admire the caliber 115. Unique is right! Merry 🎅. Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci Thanks! Same to you, Bill.
Good video
Thanks Frank! Take care, Bill
Bill what's your thoughts on their new in-house caliber 473, hand wind, great power reserve and the 10years warranty. I think it's a great!
Hi ❤️4⏱... On the one hand, the 473 has a wonderful 5-day reserve with an equally fetching power reserve indicator on the back. It's based on the SW200, which in turn is based on the ETA 2824-2. It ticks at 4Hz, which for some reason has not been revealed. (Why the secrecy?... Rolexes have the same 28,800 kph.) The "all-newness" of the 473 is perhaps in the pointer-date (which I like) and perhaps steps they took to prevent magnetization...The price of the Oris Big Crown Calibre 473 at $4,200 ... is a bit steep. Take care, Bill
Bill not Oris related but in the same price range what are your thoughts on Baume et. Mercier . Similar to Oris that have a 5 day PR watch called the Baumatic little cheaper that the caliber 400 but not sure how it stacks quality wise.
The Baumatic is from ValFleurier, Richemont's movemen- making works versus those by Oris. They're both ok. Take care, Bill
Hi Bill you missed the manual wound watches from Oris like calibers 111,112,113 and 115 on Artelier and Propilot X.great watches I proudly own 3 of them 13:43 Caliber 111 Artelier ,Artelier 113 and 115 on Propilot X but only 2 reservations of those watches as their prices are 5000$ but unfortunately they are categorized in lower horological watches lower than Omega so all of the Oris watches starting from 2000$ or less up to plus 5000$ are categorized in low horology which is very sad
A while ago I did cover those other calibers, Fmalik (see th-cam.com/video/wCH3GV5s56w/w-d-xo.html ), and for today's video, I focused on what they are doing with their current collection and the Caliber 400, which I think is tops! I did go over the Caliber 115 at the end of the video, so check that out. As for being "High Horology" or not, I've given up on that category that is more for marketing than horology, and the Caliber 400 is as good as it gets for a mass produced movement. Take care, Bill
Oris Aquis Date, SW-200. Lalalalalike it.
Okay NaN_by_Zip ...You're good with the Oris Aquas Date with a Sellita SW200. Take care, Bill
Hi Bill. I have never held an Oris in the flesh. They might be worth a look.
Hi Tuna! I have and you are right; very much worth a look. Take care, Bill
Vintage lovers might note that Oris, until 1968 were limited by weird Swiss Tech laws to using their own pin lever escapements only, not all vendors know this.
That is interesting James, but that's like 50 years that watchmakers have had to make improvements. Any idea why they had that law? Take care, Bill
@@watchartsci It was something to do with extended protection of intellectual property,to stop people using other peoples tech? It was called the Watch Statute and it was passed in 1934. Oris specifically campaigned to have it repealed as it specified Government permission to switch up techniques or movements? Sounds like madness
@@jamesblonde2271 Sounds reasonable ...
@@watchartsci 😆
As a woman definitely, I can wear the Holstein edition because is 36.5 (😊
Great Derby! More and more watch companies are making more 36mm± watches for women and guys who prefer the smaller sizes. Take care, Bill
Hey Bill,
I own an older Oris Artelier. I bought it when only aesthics mattered to me. I really like like the Caliber 115 but I don't care for skeloton faced dials. Maybe I am the only one but, a watch above 40mm is too much watch for me.
Yes, Commander fan! Some of the earlier models by Oris are quite nice. I wish they had the 115 in an Artelier style watch. Take care, Bill
I have a Oris Big Crown Pointer Date with Oris caliber 654 based on ETA 2824-2
Hey O Bud, love those pointer dates! Take care Bill
@@watchartsci Thanks Bill, all the best to you, greetings!
Amazon is selling this brand around 2k
Thanks for that update Jonnyboy! Take care, Bill
Oris 115 pro pilot x - I like the watch but their narrowing bracelet turned me off cold. Also, no decoration whatsoever on the movement. So technically it may be good but esthetically it's lagging ((
Almeladze, some designs don't work even though the watch does. Take care, Bill
Love em but disappointed at the same time. 2 yr old aquis has a scratch in sapphire and because oris won't outsource parts too watchmakers I have too pay $400.00 for a newly installed sapphire. Guess I'll wear it and not worry.
Yikes, Jeff!!! They could out-source it for repairs ... or Oris could lose customers! Take care, Bill

The 400, to become a small seconds, 401, it need a bunch of extra wheel that make it an indirect seconds and indirect minute, that is the worst structure.

Reason for Roberto Clemente: His activism against racial prejudice and demand for equal treatment for all human beings. His love for humanity marked his fate as he lost his life in an airplane accident attempting to aid earthquake victims in Nicaragua on New Year's Eve in 1972.

Thx Bill. Pass on Oris !!!
I met with Oris and told them, "Whatever you do, don't let Tim have one!" They agreed! Take care Bill
