Founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian at Holstein, Switzerland, the Oris watch is distinguished from the rest of the pack by continuing to create a timepiece that utilizes mechanical features. With its self-winding automatic movements visible through the porthole on the back of its case you can see the red rotor generating power.
Many models are available featuring automatic chronograph, moon phase, world timer, and day/date. Oris offers classic shapes in round, tonneau and square designs.
