Oris Watches
Oris has traditionally favored a practical style of Swiss watchmaking, with an emphasis on mechanical movements and straightforward design. Even as quartz became widespread in the 1970s, the brand continued to focus on automatic calibers, a choice that still shapes how Oris watches are made today. At Bob’s Watches, our Oris inventory includes watches from collections like the Aquis, Big Crown, Divers Sixty-Five, ProPilot and Artelier. Each watch is individually inspected by our team, with attention paid to authenticity and proper function.

Oris: Swiss-Made for Real Life
Oris is an independent Swiss watchmaker with a strong focus on mechanical watches and a distinct brand philosophy: “real watches for real people.” Founded in 1904 in Hölstein, Switzerland, Oris has remained fiercely independent — one of the last truly independent Swiss watch manufacturers. Known for producing robust, accessible mechanical watches, Oris emphasizes practicality, durability, and environmental awareness.
History and Heritage
Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian. By the 1920s, Oris had become one of the largest watch manufactures in Switzerland. The brand committed exclusively to mechanical watches in the 1980s, a move that defined its modern identity.
Oris Collections

The Aquis is Oris’s flagship dive watch collection, featuring robust build quality, unidirectional rotating bezels, and water resistance up to 300 meters.

Inspired by aviation, the ProPilot collection features large crowns and clear dials with distinctive coin-edge bezels.
Big Crown
The iconic Big Crown Pointer Date is recognizable by its oversized crown and cathedral hands, originally designed for pilots to operate with gloves.

Expert Opinion
“Oris is one of those brands where you feel like you’re getting the real thing — an independent company making honest mechanical watches without hype. The Aquis is a standout in the sub-$3,000 dive watch category.” — Paul Altieri, Founder & CEO of Bob’s Watches
