Oris Big Crown Pointer Date watch blue dial leather strap 40 mm

Big Crown, a Timeless Icon

Created in 1938, the Big Crown collection was designed for the pilots of the era, with its oversized crown that could be operated even while wearing gloves and its Pointer Date function, indicating the date with a central hand. These codes, unchanged for nearly 90 years, have made the Big Crown a true icon of independent Swiss watchmaking, instantly recognizable and celebrated for its balance of utility, robustness, and elegance.

Elegant and Modern Design

This new 40 mm reference retains the classic silhouette of the Big Crown, with a polished and satin-brushed stainless steel case and a fluted bezel that defines its identity. The deep blue dial, punctuated with Arabic numerals and luminous hands coated in Super-LumiNova®, ensures clear readability day and night.
The Pointer Date function unfolds along a peripheral track, adding a distinctive retro touch and unique mechanical charm. The watch is completed with a leather strap and pin buckle, giving it an appearance that is both elegant and refined.

Calibre 754 Movement

This Big Crown is powered by the Oris Calibre 754, a reliable automatic movement offering a 41-hour power reserve. Based on a proven architecture, it provides the essential functions: central hours, minutes, seconds, and date by pointer hand.
Visible through the transparent caseback, the movement illustrates Oris’s philosophy: to offer mechanical watches that are robust, accessible, and built to last, while remaining true to a technical and independent identity.
