Oris Timepieces

Oris watches embody the value of the watchmaker's art with their superior expression of high technology and the fine traditions of Swiss horology. Founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian, Oris is based in Holstein, Switzerland and has an established relationship with the worlds of sport, music, and the arts.

In 1968, Oris obtained a full chronometer certification from the Neuchatel Observatory, one of the highest forms of recognition that exist for timepiece accuracy.

Today Oris watches span formal and dress watches to precision instruments for use by divers, drivers, and pilots alike. They combine the fascination of a micro-mechanism heart with a stylish appearance, and Oris watches are a superior expression of the high technology and long tradition of Swiss horology. Just turn your watch over to see the movement through the display window; if you see a flash of red, you've got the right watch, because at the heart of every Oris beats a red rotor.

Oris is a Swiss watch brand solely dedicated to manufacturing mechanical timepieces with self-winding automatic movements. In keeping with the great Swiss tradition of watch making and craftsmanship, these timepieces work without any assistance from batteries.

Oris has gone on to become an established name among movie stars such as Sean Penn, Harrison Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan and many others. ORIS also produces limited editions that pay tribute to some of the all-time greats of 20th century music, including Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton, McCoy Tyner, Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker.
