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!
