Oris updates its vintage-inspired 40mm Big Crown Pointer Date with an autumnal burgundy dial and a sustainably sourced Cervo Volante deer-hide strap. The watch keeps the model’s signature features while pairing a warmer palette with the brand’s pointer-date movement.
Oris has released a 40mm Big Crown Pointer Date special edition with a burgundy dial and Cervo Volante deer-hide strap, priced at CHF 2,250.
The watch retains classic Big Crown elements: fluted bezel, oversized crown, cathedral hands, peripheral pointer date and Super-LumiNova-treated numerals.
Case specs: 40mm stainless steel, 12.2mm thick, 48.2mm lug-to-lug, 50m water resistance, double-domed sapphire crystal.
This variant uses the Big Crown reference with a 40mm multi-piece stainless steel case. The case measures 12.2mm thick with a 48.2mm lug-to-lug span and is water-resistant to 50 metres. Visual cues that identify it as a Big Crown include the knurled fluted bezel, the oversized screw-down crown and a double-domed sapphire crystal over the dial. The top surfaces of the lugs are brushed to contrast with the polished bezel.
The dial is a warm burgundy colour inspired by the autumn woods near Oris's Hölstein factory. It pairs with cathedral-style hands and a stylised Arabic numeral typeface that follow the model's vintage pilot-watch styling. Legibility remains a priority: the hour markers, hands and minute-track markers are treated with Super-LumiNova. The date is indicated by a central pointer hand with an inverted arrow tipped in red that tracks the peripheral date scale.
Inside the case is Oris calibre 754, an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1 with an added pointer-date module. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz), offers a 41-hour power reserve, features hacking seconds (stop-seconds) and shows the brand's signature central red rotor.
This Big Crown Pointer Date x Cervo Volante is a special, non-limited edition and retails for CHF 2,250. Oris lists further details on its website.
