2018 Oris Chronoris Date Automatic 39mm 01 733 7737 4053

Here we have a recrafted 2018 Oris Chronoris Date automatic 01 733 7737 4053 on a Rubber strap, inspired by the 1970s ChronOris, their first Chronostop chronograph, very much like the Omega Chronostop and was the beginning of their long and illustrious relationship in motorsport. The 39mm C-shaped brushed and polished stainless steel case comfortably sits on your wrist like a cushion; bevelled leading edges flow effortlessly around the case; a lug-to-lug length of 42.5mm and a case thickness of 12mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. Down the right side, we have the top crown to adjust the time, date and winding; at 4 o’clock, we have a signed screw-down crown to adjust the silver inner rotating 60-minute bezel with deep knurling for grip. A domed sapphire crystal AR coated on the inside sits above a dynamic sector-style grey and black dial, the inner rotating bezel surrounds a minute track precisely executed, applied baton indexes tipped in orange mark the hours inside a black ring; at 3 o’clock, a framed date window and white baton hands filled with SuperLumiNova are complemented by a tapered orange sweeping second-hand, at 12 o’clock we have the Oris motif, and at 6 o’clock ChronOris 26 jewels complete this vintage-inspired sports watch. On the reverse, there is a screw-down solid case back with the Oris shield in the centre, inside an automatic Oris Cal. 733, based on the Sellita SW200-1; the balance has a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour, and the movement contains 26 jewels. The watch comes paired with a 19mm Oris It comes paired with a 19mm Oris polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet secured by a signed push-button deployant clasp, and includes its Oris presentation box, swing tag, and Oris paperwork.

This watch is sold with its Oris box, swing tag, and paperwork. It comes paired with a 19mm Oris polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet secured by a signed push-button deployant clasp. The watch is from February 2018 and is in worn condition, but overall, it is very good, as you can see from the photos. It comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This Oris ChronoOris Date in 39mm is a wonderful reinterpretation of the vintage ChronoOris which was a single pusher, 1-minute chronograph, whereas this modern ChronoOris features an inner rotating bezel, operated via the second crown, giving the same layout and similar aetheric as the original, but brought into the modern world as a dive watch, an interesting take from Oris. This example comes with the rarely seen Oris bracelet. I would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection today!

Oris, was founded in the picturesque Swiss town of Hölstein by two visionary entrepreneurs, Paul Cattin and George Christian. In 1904, they took a significant step by acquiring a factory and formalising their commitment to the community by signing a contract with the local mayor. Initially, Oris focused on crafting exquisite pocket watches. However, in a pivotal move in 1925, they began incorporating bracelets into their pocket timepieces, which marked the beginning of their evolution towards wristwatches. By 1929, their ambition had led to establishing a robust manufacturing network, with six factories operating under the Oris name. As the decades progressed, Oris solidified its status in the watchmaking industry, becoming one of the largest watch companies globally by the late 1960s, producing an impressive 1.2 million timepieces each year. In 1982, the brand experienced a transformational moment when Dr. Rolf Portmann and Ulrich W. Herzog orchestrated a management buyout from the Swatch Group, expressing dissatisfaction with the company’s management style. This bold decision culminated in the establishment of Oris SA as an independent Swiss watch brand. The journey of Oris has been marked by several notable milestones. In 1906, they expanded their operations by opening a second factory in Holderbank, followed by a third factory in Como in 1908. By 1911, Oris had become the largest employer in Hölstein, reflecting their rapid growth and the unswerving dedication to quality craftsmanship. By 1914, they had reached another impressive feat, having produced over a million watches. Oris has a rich history intertwined with aviation. In the 1920s, the brand made significant strides in developing pilot's watches, recognising the unique needs of aviators. This commitment culminated in 1938 with the launch of the iconic Big Crown—a distinctive pilot's watch featuring a large crown designed for easy adjustment, even while wearing gloves. In 2002, they proudly registered the Red Rotor, an emblematic symbol of their watchmaking philosophy, solidifying their identity in the horological world. In recent years, Oris has continued innovating, unveiling the Calibre 400 in 2020. This marked a significant milestone as it was the brand’s first in-house-developed automatic movement in decades, underscoring Oris's commitment to enhancing its legacy of mechanical excellence.
