HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the stamped guarantee we can accurately date this watch to being sold in January 2005. The watch will have been made before this date.
CONDITION
Oris first released a date pointer model in 1938, and it was one of the first watches that were reintroduced after the management buy out of Oris in the quartz crisis, where the new owners took the brave (and ultimately very smart) decision to only make mechanical watches from that point. This one uses an Oris signed ETA 2688 movement that has 17 jewels and quick set date. The black dial, with lumed sword hands, has a good look to it and is similar to some JLC Reverso models, as is the size of the case. Date pointer dials have a symmetry that standard date window dials lack, although they are harder to read at a glance. The Oris beads of rice bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath. Alternatively you can wear this watch on a leather strap, which changes the appearance cheaply and effectively. When looking at other watches that are similar, all seven were on leather straps so maybe the bracelet was an option?
