The Watch

Oris was founded by Paul Cattin and George Christian in the Swiss town of Hölstein, they bought a factory and signed a contract with the mayor in 1904, initially making pocket watches in 1925 they started to add bracelets to their pocket watches which soon transitioned into the wristwatch. By 1929, they had a total of six factories and at the end of the 1960s, Oris became one of the largest watch companies in the world, producing approximately 1.2 million timepieces a year. In 1982 Dr Rolf Portmann and Ulrich W. Herzog led a management buyout from Swatch Group, unhappy with the way the Group was running things, Oris SA was born as an independent Swiss watch brand. and 2002 saw their distinctive Red Rotor become an Oris-registered Trademark.

Here we have a  2020 Oris Aquis Date with a 39mm stainless steel case, angular drilled screwed-in lugs with a lug-to-lug of 45.5mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence.

Personal Note

The colour scheme of this watch is what instantly drew me in, I am not a huge fan of Green on watches surprisingly, but this tone works so well against the tungsten bezel and the leather strap, Oris knocked this one out of the park they always do. In my opinion, this is the perfect "couples" watch, me and my wife have a few watches like this that we both love and wear, it only makes this hobby more enjoyable.
