Do you want to know what else is unique about this watch? Come and learn more with me!

Oris Big Crown series watches

Oris, as a famous Swiss watch brand, has won the love of many watch lovers for its affordable prices and excellent watch quality. Among the many series, the Big Crown series is famous for its huge crown, which was designed based on actual needs when Oris began making watches for pilots as early as the 1930s.

Pilots often need to wear gloves when working at high altitudes, and it is obviously inconvenient to operate a watch while wearing gloves. As a result, Oris made the crown larger so that pilots could adjust the time more conveniently.

Interestingly, although it was originally designed to meet the needs of pilots, it was later discovered that many ordinary watch friends also like this design very much, because it is indeed a lot more convenient, especially when wearing gloves.

Pointer calendar design

In addition to the big crown, the Big Crown series of watches also has a very classic design, which is the pointer calendar.

At the 12 o’clock position of the watch, we can see an independent hand pointing to a number, which is the date of the day. This design is much more beautiful than the traditional digital calendar, and it is clear at a glance and very practical.

According to the parameters of the model 01 754 7785 4081Set, we can see that this watch has a diameter of 40 mm, a thickness of 12.2 mm, and a weight of 77 grams. It is a medium size and is very suitable for Asian men to wear.

Because it is sold in limited quantities, the collection value and uniqueness of this watch are very high. Although we cannot guarantee how much room for appreciation there will be in the future, what is certain is that as a limited edition, it will definitely be sought after by some watch friends.

Swiss ETA movement

Because it is a mechanical watch, the core component of the watch is naturally the movement. This watch is equipped with the Oris 754 movement, which is also a star in the Swiss watchmaking industry. Its bottom plate comes from the SW2001 model of Swiss ETA, which can be said to be directly modified.

As the basic movement in the Swiss watchmaking industry, SW2001 has very good stability and ease of maintenance, and its power reserve has reached 41 hours. This performance is already quite excellent.

Maybe many watch enthusiasts are worried that if the ETA movement is so cheap, will its performance be poor? In fact, on the contrary, in the watchmaking industry, ETA movements are like the engines of Toyota cars. They have good performance, strong stability, and are easy to repair. They are the first choice of many brands.

Ancient coin shapes

From the appearance, this watch is made of stainless steel and paired with a blue cowhide strap, which is very classy. Oris also thoughtfully provides a NATO strap. For friends who like sports or outdoors, this strap is more practical because it has better waterproof performance.

The back of the watch is a screw-in stainless steel bottom cover, which can effectively improve the waterproof performance of the watch. The waterproof level of this watch is 50 meters, which is enough for daily waterproof needs.

It is worth mentioning that on the bottom cover on the back of the watch, we can see that Hank Aaron’s classic actions are engraved. As one of the greatest players in the history of Major League Baseball (MLB), Hank Aaron used his career to prove the greatness of sportsmanship, and Oris used this watch to commemorate him, which also conveys the eternal concept of sportsmanship.

Conclusion

In short, Oris Big Crown series watches not only have a classic appearance, but are also extremely practical, especially the pointer calendar design and the blessing of ETA movement, which are extremely cost-effective! For watch lovers who like to collect, limited editions are an option not to be missed. What do you think of this watch? Do you have a heart-pounding feeling?
