Founded in 1904 at the dawn of powered flight, Oris crafted its first pilot pocket watch in the early 1910s, followed by its initial pilot wristwatch in 1917. That early wristwatch featured an ingenious mechanism requiring a button press at 2 o clock to set the time. That same inventive spirit birthed the Oris Big Crown in 1938, designed with an oversized crown so gloved aviators could adjust their timepieces effortlessly. Beyond its flight heritage, the Big Crown Pointer Date marked a pivotal turning point in the 1980s when it was reintroduced to champion mechanical watchmaking during the quartz revolution. Featuring a smooth round case, coin edge bezel, oversized crown, and signature central date hand, it remains one of the most recognized icons in horological history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 99.9985%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0213\/7833\/4784\/files\/OrisBigCrownPointerDateBlack-04.jpg?v=1785749117\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: center; width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOris Big Crown Pointer Date Black Ref. 01 754 7798 4064-07 8 20 06\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOris ushers in a new chapter for its beloved Big Crown Pointer Date with a design that speaks directly to heritage and modernity.

At the heart of the dial, an arrow shaped date hand features a subtle pop of purple at the pip, serving as the sole accent of color on the entire dial as it points outward to neatly printed date markers along the rehaut. The Oris logo at 12 o'clock and the 'Big Crown Automatic' inscription at 6 o'clock create a harmonious sense of symmetry.
