In the early 20th century, at the nascent stage of the development of the world aviation industry, Oris began manufacturing various types of aviation pocket watches. In 1917, Oris introduced the brand’s first aviation watch. In 1938, the iconic Oris crown was launched. Over the next few decades, the large crown series continued to innovate, bringing pilots many innovative features and practical designs. In the 1980s, Oris succeeded in breaking through the quartz crisis by insisting on the spirit of independent mechanical watchmaking. The large crown series witnessed the brand’s turn. So far, Oris’s watchmaking history is closely linked to the history of world aviation, and the classic large crown series has also become the brand’s time symbol through 80 years.
1938, the first big crown watch
While inheriting the classic elements, the new series of Oris Large Crown Analogue Watches has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in style and design. The classic coin-shaped bezel of the original large crown series and the unique pointer calendar display are retained. The new Oris crown has a smoother outline, the lugs are thinner than previous models, and the crown design Fine-tuned, the overall look is more sophisticated and modern, full of a sense of time, and there are two sizes of 36mm and 40mm. The young urban population advocates individuality and self-expression. The new Oris crown is nostalgic in style and modern, and it is more in line with the aesthetics and needs of the modern urban men and women. It will also redefine ‘big ‘Crown’.
Sapphire ‘bubble mirror’ is the perfect combination of nostalgia and technology
The new Grand Crown series is available in stainless steel and bronze. In color matching, the designer took inspiration from Le Corbusier’s architectural color collection, light green and fresh, gray blue and melancholic, at the same time recognizable, and there is no lack of sense of history. In addition, the new large crown uses sapphire ‘bubble mirror’ for the first time. Compared with the previous acrylic watch mirror, the convex arc of the double-sided arched sapphire ‘bubble mirror’ shows a retro charm half a century ago. The performance and texture of sapphire gives a new touch.

In order to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the large crown analog calendar, Oris launched a 40mm large crown analog bronze green dial watch. Unlike the 36mm bronze style white calendar hands, the 40mm bronze green plate style uses red hands, with a pale green dial, which is slightly playful in harmony. The strap is made of dark brown vegetable tanned leather, which further highlights the warm texture of the watch. Coupled with the use of bronze material, the nostalgia of the large crown watch is further released. What’s more worth mentioning is that with the passage of time, the appearance of bronze will gradually form an oxide layer, and the color and texture of the oxidation are closely related to the humidity of the environment and the pH of the wearer. In the end, every bronze watch will be as unique as its owner.

The rapid development of the times, technology makes modern life change rapidly. When ‘fast’ has become the norm in people’s lives, those who walk on foot and adhere to the traditional artisan spirit and time wrestling are particularly attractive. This is the case for Oris watchmakers who focus on time, and so is the Lot Sixty One coffee shop in the Netherlands, which focuses on the concept of slow life. For Lot Sixty One, achieving a long-lasting cup of coffee is much more than simply pressing a button. There is no computer, no stylized production process, and control of coffee roasting, all based on the vision and smell of experienced roasters. Respecting tradition and continuously innovating, Lot Sixty One retains the most positive taste for those who really love coffee, exuding the unique personality and charm of rare craftsmen of this era. The Oris large crown watch is also like this mellow cup of coffee: it is both traditional and modern, and it is worth savouring with lips and teeth; it condenses the attention of the craftsman and is worth slowly feeling.

Oris has a 114-year history of the brand. In the long past, Oris has always adhered to the brand concept passed down through generations, strictly adhered to Swiss watchmaking standards, and maintained an independent and free watchmaking spirit. The launch of the new large crown series is another effort for the brand to design stylish, innovative, practical and beautiful watches. Mr. Rolf Portmann, Honorary Chairman of Oris Brand, said: ‘Over the years, the large crown analog date watch has stood the test of time and is constantly being introduced. The large crown has become the most distinctive model of Oris , Symbolizing the vitality of the Oris brand. ‘In the future, Oris will also adhere to the’ Go Your Own Way ‘brand proposition, bringing a more personal and modern interpretation to those who choose Oris watches.
