Oris Pointer Date

This particular piece dates back to the 1960’s , it measures in at 36mm not including the crown, 42mm from lug tip to lug tip and 18mm in between the lugs. It’s 10.3mm thick and it features the 704 manual wind movement. Oris introduced the big crown pointer date in the collection back in 1938. The watch is extremely Light as it only weighs in at 36 grams and it honestly feels like you´re wearing nothing on your wrist, and that’s a shared commonality with most vintage watches. The watch features an acrylic crystal with a slight dome to it, Acrylic crystals add a certain warmth to watches, that´s why the Omega Speedmaster is still produced that way. Not the best for everyday use, but if it’s good enough for people in the 60’s is good enough for me. The mate black dial is sporty and elegant with with applied Arabic numbers that do feature lume, at the six o’clock we have sub second register with the smooth seconds hand gliding away and the words Swiss made printed right below it. On the border of the dial we have the date track with printed Arabic numerals. The Oris logo, the word Water resistant and shock resistant are printed right below the 12 o’clock. At the center of the dial we find the sword style hour and minute hands, and in my opinion the star of the show the date hand featuring a red arrow hand, how cool is that? That’s honestly one of the main reason I purchased this watch, most watches that feature a date complication have a boring date window, not this guy! The
