ORIS Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition 732.7736.4081 SET LS Watch

The Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition is a modern reproduction of Oris' first pilot's wristwatch.

Oris' first wristwatch, produced in Japan in 1917, has been reproduced in limited quantities 100 years later as a 2017 model.

It operates in the same way as an old pocket watch, giving it a retro feel.

The most distinctive feature is the part developed by Oris specifically for this model.

Normally, on modern watches, the time is adjusted by pulling up the crown, but this watch uses a dowel mechanism, like old pocket watches, where the time is adjusted by pressing the protrusion at the 2 o'clock position while turning the crown.

This is not just a reissue, but a watch with excellent visibility in the dark. The combination of all numerals and cobra hands makes it extremely easy to read the time.

This is a watch that goes well with not only elegant outfits, but also leather jackets and flight jackets.

While the old-fashioned retro aspects have been reproduced, the movement is automatic to suit modern times.

The original plastic crystal has been replaced with a sapphire crystal, preserving the original appearance. This makes it more than just a reproduction, but one that is comparable to modern watches.

At that time, pocket watches were still in their heyday, and the back cover was engraved with OWC, the initials of "Oris Watch Company," which was then engraved on gold watches as a guarantee of quality.
