Big Crown: An Oris icon since 1938
The Big Crown Pointer Date is the collection that defines Oris at a glance: an oversized crown, pilot’s watch legibility, and the famous pointer date, which indicates the day of the month on a peripheral scale. It is a classic introduced in 1938 and has remained a pillar of the maison to this day.
Modern mechanics, with the same soul
If you are looking for the most technical version, take a look at the references with the Calibre 473, a manual-winding movement from the Calibre 400 series: it offers a 120-hour power reserve and an indicator on the case back that tells you when it is time to wind it. The platform uses antimagnetic components and includes an extended 10-year warranty.

Curiosities about Oris Big Crown
What is the Oris Pointer Date?
It is a date indicated by a central hand: instead of the classic window, the hand points to the day number on an external scale. It is the historical signature of the Big Crown collection.
What is the difference between Calibre 473 and a “classic” automatic?
The Calibre 473 is manual-winding and belongs to the Calibre 400 series. In the versions that feature it, it offers a 120-hour power reserve and a power reserve indicator visible on the case back. Models with a traditional automatic movement focus on simplicity and everyday convenience.
How long is the power reserve in versions with Calibre 473?
Up to 120 hours, which is about 5 days. The indicator on the case back helps you know when to wind the watch.
What does “antimagnetic” mean in the Calibre 400 series?
It means that the movement uses non-ferrous components designed to resist magnetic fields that, in everyday life, can affect the accuracy of a mechanical watch.
How does the 10-year Oris warranty work?
For watches in the Calibre 400 series, Oris provides an extended 10-year warranty. 10-year service intervals are also recommended, in addition to water-resistance checks when necessary.
