About the Oris Big Crown Collection
In 1938, Oris introduced their first pilot's watch, the Big Crown, marking a significant milestone in aviation timekeeping. Designed for pilots' practical use, it featured an oversized crown that allowed easy adjustment even with gloves on, a crucial advantage during aerial missions. The watch boasted a black dial with gilt accents, small seconds at six o'clock, and a distinctive red-tipped pointer date hand, embodying a utilitarian elegance that became iconic. Despite challenges during World War II and subsequent production diversifications into alarm clocks, Oris' commitment to precision and mechanical innovation remained steadfast, establishing the way for their future in horology.
A Timeless Appeal
Originally sporting a 32 to 37mm case size in steel, two-tone, or gold-plated variants, Oris Big Crown has adapted to contemporary tastes with modern iterations featuring larger case sizes and updated materials. The latest models retain the fluted bezel and cathedral-style hands filled with luminous material, symbolising Oris' dedication to blending classic aesthetics with functional reliability. Recent updates, such as introducing the Calibre 403 movement, have modernised the Big Crown with straight hands and a polished bezel, appealing to traditionalists and new-generation enthusiasts.
Precision Redefined
Oris continue to innovate technologically within their Big Crown collection. The latest models bring the familiar pointer date function but also carry an additional small seconds sub-dial and an impressive 5-day power reserve. With accuracy certified to chronometer standards, these timepieces exemplify Oris' commitment to precision engineering. Enhanced water resistance and robust construction ensure durability, making the Big Crown suitable for professional aviators and contemporary watch connoisseurs who value performance and heritage. As Oris navigate the complexities of modern watchmaking, the Big Crown remains a timeless symbol of innovation and resilience in the face of historical challenges.
