In 1938, Oris launched a pioneering pilot's watch. It had an oversized crown to allow adjustment even by aviators wearing gloves and featured the unusual complication of a central pointer date hand. The iconic Big Crown Pointer Date tells the story of Swiss watchmaker Oris like no other model. It is a powerful symbol of Oris's philosophy and some say that without it, the brand would not be at the pinnacle of the Swiss Made watch industry.
