The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 represents a modern evolution of one of the most iconic designs in Swiss watchmaking. Originally introduced in 1938 as a pilot’s tool watch, the Big Crown Pointer Date has become a defining signature of Oris — combining functional design with timeless character.

This contemporary interpretation refines the design into a versatile 38 mm stainless steel case, offering a balanced and elegant wrist presence suited for both everyday wear and more formal settings. The deep blue dial, accented with oversized Arabic numerals and a central pointer date hand, preserves the unmistakable identity of the original while delivering exceptional legibility.

At the heart of the watch is the in-house Oris Calibre 403, part of the brand’s prestigious Calibre 400 series. This advanced automatic movement delivers a 120-hour (5-day) power reserve, allowing the watch to run for extended periods without being worn. It is also engineered with high anti-magnetic resistance and improved long-term reliability, achieving accuracy within chronometer-level tolerances of approximately -3/+5 seconds per day. 

The movement features a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock and is visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback, showcasing Oris’s commitment to modern mechanical watchmaking. Designed for longevity, the Calibre 403 platform is backed by an extended 10-year warranty and recommended service intervals that significantly exceed industry norms. 

Completing the watch is a stainless steel bracelet with an ergonomic folding clasp, delivering both comfort and durability. With its blend of aviation heritage, contemporary engineering, and refined proportions, the Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 stands as one of the most compelling mechanical watches in its category.
