Oris Watches - What Makes Them Different-Luxury Watches

Oris watches have been manufactured since 1904. They are a good quality Swiss watch that has many admirers. Why many people like Oris watches is because of the rather unique way in which the date is often displayed.


Oris watches are a well known Swiss watch and are very popular. The company has a reputation of making timepieces that stand the test of time. Their collections are based on their history in sport, aviation and fashion. The current collections of the Williams F1, Flight Timer and Frank Sinatra reflect these backgrounds.

But what really makes Oris watches stand apart from other Swiss watches is their use of the date pointer. Most date watches display the date as a number in a rectangular window on the watch face. As the date changes, the date flips and the new date is shown in the window. However some of the collections of Oris watches use the legendary date pointer.

The date pointer is a third (or fourth arm if there is also a second hand) that rotates around the face of the watch. In effect there are two sets of numerals on the watch face. The inner circle has the usual hour numbers or marks, whereas the outer circle contains the 31 days of a month. When the hour arm passes midnight the date arm moves to the next day.

The date arm (or date sweep) usually matches the same colour as the hour and minute arms, but the tip is usually red in colour - to make the indication of date more visible. Also the end of the date arm is either a T-shape of horse shoe shape. Of the two, the horse shore shape is probably the more aesthetically pleasing.

Rolex is famous for their bubble over the date window and Patek Phillipe are famous for their complicated date movements showing, day, date and moon phase, the Oris is unique, and famous, for using a date arm. Luckily for the consumer the unique way in which an Oris watch displays the date, comes at a price tag most can afford, unlike a Rolex of Patek watch.

There are many other qualities that make an Oris watch stand out, but surely the best known facet of an Oris wristwatch is the use of the date arm. That is what makes them different from the crowd.
