Deftly riding the line between a refined casual timepiece and vintage inspired sports watch, the Big Crown Pointer Date has a presence and charm that is unique amongst watches currently on the market. Featuring a 40mm brushed bronze case, the Big Crown Pointer Date is a modern take on a vintage-aesthetic.
Bronze is a unique material that will change color and patina with time. Combined with a rounded, coin-edge bezel, which speaks strongly to early 20th century pilot’s watches, the result is striking. Similarly, the cathedral hour and minute hands, which add to the antique charm, are paired with a gorgeous dark olive surface.
The dial is then a series of indexes featuring a thin, elegant typeface. The namesake complication stands out along the outer edge of the dial, providing a unique and highly legible date presentation. Inside of the Big Crown Propilot Big Date is the Oris 754 / Sellita SW 200 movement.
This is a 26-jewel Swiss-made automatic with 38-hour power reserve, pointer date, hacking seconds and a frequency of 28,800 bph. Visible through the display case back, the Oris 754 also features their signature red rotor.
