Background:

Oris, a Swiss watchmaker with roots dating back to 1904, has a rich heritage in creating high-quality, mechanically-driven timepieces. The Big Crown collection, introduced in 1938, was originally designed for aviators who needed a watch that could be easily operated while wearing gloves. The Big Crown Small Second Pointer, with its large, easily gripped crown and legible dial, continues this tradition, making it a favorite among pilots and watch enthusiasts alike.

The 7629-40 model exemplifies Oris's commitment to blending traditional design with modern technology, offering a reliable, stylish timepiece that stands out both in the cockpit and on the wrist.

Key Features:

• Stainless Steel Case: The Oris Big Crown Small Second Pointer features a robust 40mm stainless steel case, providing durability while maintaining a comfortable fit on the wrist. The case's polished and brushed finishes add depth to the design, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

• Classic Aviator Dial: The dial is designed with clarity and functionality in mind. Large Arabic numerals and luminous hands ensure excellent readability, while the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock adds a touch of vintage charm. The signature pointer date function, which uses an additional hand to indicate the date around the outer edge of the dial, is both unique and practical.

• Automatic Movement: Powered by a reliable automatic movement, this Oris watch offers the convenience of self-winding technology. The movement ensures precise timekeeping, and the transparent case back allows you to admire the intricate mechanics in action.

• Fluted Bezel: The watch features a fluted bezel, a design element that not only adds texture and character but also enhances the watch’s vintage-inspired look. This detail is a nod to the classic pilot watches of the early 20th century.

• Large Crown: True to its name, the Big Crown model features an oversized crown that is easy to grip and adjust, even when wearing gloves. This practical design was originally intended for aviators but is now appreciated by anyone who values functionality in a timepiece.

• Sapphire Crystal: Protecting the dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, known for its durability and clarity. This ensures that the watch remains in pristine condition, even after years of wear.

• Leather Strap: The watch is paired with a high-quality leather strap that complements its vintage aesthetic. The strap is both comfortable and durable, adding to the watch’s overall charm and wearability.

• Pre-Owned Condition: This pre-owned Oris Big Crown Small Second Pointer 7629-40 has been carefully maintained, showing only minimal signs of wear.
