Points of Mention
This watch is sold as a full set comes with its original Oris box and original Oris paperwork with the guarantee card signed showing the date of purchase to be August 2016. The watch is in excellent pre-owned condition and has a few signs of wear, but overall no major notes! The watch works perfectly.
The Watch
Oris has a long history with Aviation, creating Pilot watches since the 1930s. The black dial and high contrast numerals and indices is uncluttered and makes viewing easy, which is important when you have so much going on in the cockpit. The case is Stainless Steel with a coin bevelled edge to the bezel. The large hands and numerals covered in Superluminova, reminding us of the instrument dials inside a piston engine fighter. The sweeping second's hand has a red tip which accurately hits the minute track. The Oris 752 is a Selita SW220-1, a 26 Jewel automatic, beating at 28,000 BPH, with 38 power reserve. It comes with the day/date function at 3’oclock. The sapphire crystal is AR Coated. It is fitted with an olive green textile strap with a Stainless Steel folding clasp that operates the same way a seatbelt in a cockpit does, nice touch Oris!
Personal Note
Oris is the brand that introduced me to modern Swiss-made watches and for that, I’ll forever be grateful. It is also one of the brands that I truly believe offering insane value at retail, which means pre-owned it is stupendous value!
