"The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is a fantastic, all-rounder. With its lumed hands, big screw-down crown, screw-down case back, 50-meter water resistance, and domed sapphire crystal, it is a surprisingly tough, go-anywhere, do-anything kind of watch."
Oris qualifies as one of the most gifted in the industry when it comes to choosing color hues for its watches. Whether it’s the light blue and yellow Divers Sixty-Five, the chalkboard green dial found on 36mm Pointer Dates, or the vivid hues found on the sunburst-dialed Aquis diver, Oris has a real knack for being “on point” with its palette.
Due to the naturally-forming patina that forms on the surface of bronze, every watch evolves and becomes unique to its owner.
The absence of a date window gives the watch a pleasingly balanced appearance. As such, the oxblood color takes center stage.
The watch is delivered on a taupe leather strap along with an additional NATO band in Fratello grey and a handy strap-changing tool.
For the first Fratello × Oris collaboration, we chose the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date as our starting point. Rather than simply choosing a model from the catalog, the decision came via an organic process courtesy of our very own Mike Stockton's imagination, which was piqued while on the hunt for something new at Baselworld 2019...
When Oris presented its newly-released Big Crown Pointer Date with an Oxblood dial, he couldn't help but wonder what this new dial would look like installed in the 40mm bronze case created exclusively for Oris's 80th anniversary the year before. The only problem? The 80th-anniversary edition featured a green dial. Mike thought the Oxblood dial would be a superb complementary colour in the bronze case, such a configuration was nowhere to be found in the brand's lineup.
And so he put the question to Oris: would it be possible to slide one of these glorious Oxblood dials into the bronze case from the year prior? And guess what? Oris said yes! The rest is history and this led to where we are today with our first Oris collaboration, the Fratello × Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date.
