Yet, there are brands that offer great value and fun watches that fulfill the joy of watch…

Owner review: Oris Aquis Date Upcycle

I’ve been looking at adding a diver/sports watch to my collection since my preference is still towards dressier timepieces. Oris Aquis has been in my radar but somehow never seems to have pull the trigger. Somehow having a small wrist doesn’t help in my case. It was in late 2021 that I saw the release…

Owner review: Oris Calobra Chronograph Limited Edition II

In 2020, I had purchased a Reservoir Bronze Tiefenmesser and it was a love at first sight experience for me. In the same year, I found my all time favourite timepiece, the Oris Calobra Chronograph Limited Edition II. One day I was casually browsing for green watches on Carousel (a 2nd hand market app), I…

Owner review: Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy

When the Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy watches were announced I was immediately drawn to and curious about the pink version. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to see one in the flesh for a long time though because I live quite far from any AD. During a GTG weekend in Lyon with some…

Owner review: Oris Big Crown ProPilot

As a watch enthusiast that has spent 17 years in the military, I can tell you that most service members have an extreme appreciation for watches. At the top of the list is obviously any G-Shock, mainly because of the toughness of those watches. But many military members like myself, who appreciate timepieces a little…

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Red Dial

Last year, when I saw the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date with the red (oxblood) dial, I knew, that I “needed” to have that watch in my collection. The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is overall a really great watch to own. This particular model comes in both 36mm and 40mm. My watch features the…

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date 80th Anniversary Edition celebrates a cornerstone model for Oris and one that can be arguably credited with saving the brand during the quartz crisis and allowing it to retain its independent status, which Oris enjoys to this day. The choice of a bronze case against a green dial initially…

Owner Review: Oris ChronOris – Racy Vintage Vibe!

Let me start by saying that I really do love the Oris ChronOris! I have owned this watch for almost 2 years now and it makes me smile every time I wear it. For my just over 7 inch wrist it is a perfect everyday size at 39mm in diameter and 43 mm lug to…

Owner Review: Oris Diver 65 – blast from the past that lasts

In a marketplace saturated by retro dive watches and watch company reissues complete with artificially aged lume, dials, and hand sets, it can be hard to imagine a less funky and colorful world only half a decade ago when watches were generally just iterations of modern lineups. Which is why when big hitters like Tudor…
