Oris Watches in Kansas City

Read More

Oris watches are known primarily for their high-quality and dependable pilot’s watches. Models such as the Big Crown and the ProPilot have become fan favorites! Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and George Christian in Holstein, Switzerland. They got the name Oris from the river running behind the factory. After the passing of George Christian, Jacques-David LeCoultre, who would later found Jaeger LeCoultre, became the president of the Oris Board of Directors. 

A watch first produced in 1983 would later become the Oris Big Crown. It was initially conceived for pilot’s who wished to operate their watches while wearing leather gloves. Their first dive watch hit markets in 1965 and was relaunched 50 years later as the Oris Diver Sixty-Five. The Motor Sport Collection surfaced a few years later, with the Chronoris chronograph at the forefront. Oris has defined itself as a mechanical watch making brand, firmly holding its weight against brands like Omega and Rolex for a fraction of the cost!

Specializing solely on mechanical movements has allowed Oris to focus all their energy on the perfect and most efficient mechanical and automatic watches. Oris offers four categories of watches, Aviation, Dive, Motor Sports, and Culture watches. Some of the favorites include the Big Crown pointer date pilot’s watch, the Diver Sixty-Five, and the Oris Aquis. Karats has all of these watches in stock in different dial colors and strap variations! Whether you like a watch with large numerals for easy readability or a dive watch with water resistance and rotating bezel, we have tons of options in stock. We offer a huge selection of men’s and women’s watches, as well as the ability to order anything you might have your eye on.

In addition, Karats jewelers can assist you with any kind of watch repairs you may be needing. Even though Oris watches are known to be reliable, every mechanical watch needs servicing and cleaning periodically. We can also repair crown and stem issues, broken dial or cracked crystals, stuck hands and broken straps. You can reach out to us by phone or email, or simply bring your watches by the store for evaluation! Come by anytime Monday-Saturday from 10-7 at 8651 W. 135th St. Overland Park, KS 66223 and we would be happy to help you get your watch back to ticking properly.
