Oris Collection Review: Big Crown Pointer Date and Divers Sixty-Five at London Jewelers Oculus

[@M82RKY]

I love Oris, they jazz things up yet keep things simple and interesting on all their watches, the 65, Aquis, moon phase and big crown. I must say the big crown is winning me over on my next watch purchase. Premium quality under £2000, love it!

[@marcfavero1255]

I’m a huge fan of Oris and I would have at least 2 more of them : big crown and a diver 65 with part bronze bezel .. I own a big crown 38mm anniversary moon phase and I’m so proud of it ;)

[@mariobianchi1909]

4:33 wow this will be my next Oris for sure!! It's stunning on bracelet and adorable on strap.

[@nicolasisaksson1175]

It'd be interesting to see your thoughts on Mido.

[@Gjie11]

Owner of the Diver 65 40 mm and i am living it! Thinking about buying Big crown.

[@warner04]

"I just don't think that you can introduce something with an entirely new dial configuration and call it the same model." Christian, I agree that it is somewhat confusing. However, I would argue that Rolex does the exact same thing with the Datejust. There are so many dial configurations of that watch.

[@unleasherR6]

Oris Aquis missing mention. Might have been a good idea to include in this video to round off.

[@M82RKY]

Not a vintage vibe though, amazing watch non the less👌

[@unleasherR6]

Video titled "Oris collection" not vintage inspired collection. I think you and the channel are missing the point. Bringing the Aquis in rounds up the collection. Leaving it out leaves the video incomplete and short of perfection.

[@denisspratt926]

I like the Big Crown Pointer date. But my favourite from Oris that they currently make is the Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition. That is just cool.

[@Archer335]

I love the way Christian just speaks his mind regardless of how it might insult whomever at Oris. I love it! I found the Big Crown Pointer Date 36mm listed as a “Lady’s Watch” on two popular sellers’ websites. Brilliant! I’ll pass. They need to straighten that out.

[@RUCROCK1]

Love on the review Sir, have a Oris big crown rose gold two tone on a two tone bracelet I've had for over 12 years now that I absolutely love, the difference with the big crown they offer now to the one I have is that on the dial going around in a circle with the Arabic numbers is a honeycomb texture design which gives it a little pop. Have had it for around 12 years now with no problems(knock on wood) excellent watch to have the pleasure of owning. Really looking forward to owning the mint green one very soon😁👍🏾. Love your vids. 🙏🏾😌Be Safe;-).

[@Teachering]

A superb review of Oris! You have given me an appetite for Oris watches.

[@christianstewardship4638]

Love what Oris is doing with special releases on roberto clemente big crown and Brashear diver 65. Also their new in house movement

[@mathieuvaillancourt3219]

Love the design language of Oris but I would like better tolerance on the accuracy of the movement for the price range ;)

[@Aggnog]

I've had an alpinist for the cathedral hands and splash of color, but the big crown somehow does it better and in a more elegant way.

[@jhcowatchinglifestyle]

When Oris first released their vintage diver reissue, it had a real rivet bracelet :-) The tudor bracelet rivets (in the modern) are just steel caps on the bracelet. Their Miles Davis line of watches is still one of my absolute favorite designs they have ever made. Banana-lugs absolutely kill on those older tank and tonneau cases. The newer stuff is well done, but miss the old "jazz" creativity that was there in that specific line. Otherwise, totally agree. Smashing value and their watches are very dependable.

[@jasonp6908]

The aquis is awesome too

[@kkirk1381]

Love Love Love the “Burgundy” Big Crown Pointer Date - AD mentioned they believe it was going to be discontinued soon (but not sure if they are correct)...I think it’s a must for the collection!!!

[@woodyjag4084]

Thank you perfect timing as I am actually trying to choose between these 2 models, so far I’m leaning towards diver 65 with light blue/ grey dial on a fabric striped strap with a Bracelet as an alternative strap option You’ve really helped with this perfect timed video Thanks and have you both have a great Christmas 🎁

[@chrishammer5925]

I bought my first Oris to match my Audi R8, so naturally I got one of their Audi Sport watches. It matches wonderfully, and I actually really like the watch! I love the dial numerals... adore the super lume, love the bit of depth it has, and really like the bezel actually! This single watch now makes me want to get 3 different more Oris's and I actually have them to choose from. And they are priced pretty damn good used I must say.... This will be happening soon after I get my first rolex and omega in my collection!

[@raffaelschutzenhofer4222]

I have a Pointerdate (80th anniversary) and I LOVE it

[@johnsanabria3279]

If you had dug a little deeper historically,you would know that the Big Crown watch was and is a pilot's watch ; therefore the crown is big because a pilot might wind his watch while wearing gloves.

[@dparis2172]

Had to pause at 4:40 to comment. I would generally, but not always, buy a watch on a bracelet, given the option, but the light blue-grey Pointer Date in particular paired with the bracelet is something of a revelation. The dial and bracelet compliment each other so well that they must be paired together. Get the strap as well and achieve high levels of versatility.

[@cedarcanoe]

what happened to the pointer date on 5:11 ?

[@jec45]

At 4:30 mins, is that a 36mm or 40mm on bracelet?

[@JohnnyD5138]

I really appreciate the Pointer Date. The part that stopped me from buying one was that the typeface used for the number 4 is inconsistent on the dial. I know that it's nit-picky, but if it is going to bother me, it's going to bother me.

[@kevingarywilkes]

I love that 4

[@mortezaasadi6756]

Why the pointer is between 20 & 21 ? (5:12)

[@jasue2000]

My favorite watches, got the Divers 65, Aquis, and Big Crown Small Seconds

[@leyay7540]

I like both series, also the Pro Pilot X. As you said, they just have done the details, vibe and most importantly, the price right.

[@adrianpetreanu9942]

very nice watches... i am seriously considering the big crown... the diver 65 is extreeemly cool as vell.

[@VaderQuakee]

Can’t wait for them to upload the engagement video

[@1990HondaEFHatch]

I'm looking into the oris big crown pointer date as my first entry level luxury time piece and you release this video.....is it a sign?!!?!?

[@gbsailing9436]

I wish you had also look at the Big crown calculator....

[@phamti]

Oris straps come in both Ladies or Gents. The Gents tapers less. The quick release and workmanship leather straps are my favourite. So much so, that I have purchased separately to put with my other watches.

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

I'm 6'2" and wear a 36mm Big Crown Pointer Date, I have a 7.25" wrist but have always worn vintage pieces. Don't knock it until you try it!

[@russellalfonso2962]

do you know anything about the Norwood version of the original vintage oris diver with nonmoving fixed bezel?

[@adlanhaziq]

Red Pointer Date 😍 Mini-grail, definitely saving up for it

[@echardcore]

@ 5:11 Why the hell is the date pointer between 20 and 21 but its not near 12:00?!?! I think someone mishandled this piece.

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

The Big Crown Pointer Date looks amazing on a BonKlip bracelet by Fostner

[@russellalfonso2962]

do you know anything about the Norwood "Oris Diver 65" 7-jewel manual wind?

[@DC-le3kf]

Love ORIS ! Great episode

[@VersedNJ]

I never thought about Oris much, until the last several months, I'm not going to say it will be my next luxury or semi luxury watch, but it will be something for the future, they're not priced insanely and could pull off going to an AD. I do have a latest model Semaster 300m which I adore, initially wanted a Speedmaster and that may be the next saver, don't need a special edition, or fancy complications, just something 40mm and above, can be hand wound or automatic. While I've never been a Rolex super fan, oddly I love the Explorer, or Explorer II, while it doesn't have to be new, I don't want vintage, same with the Speedmaster. I do like the Oris Aquis, I think for the money it's a lot of watch, and understand it doesn't have an in house movement. And you mentioned bracelet/strap. I was informed, always buy bracelet even if you plan on changing it. The cost of getting one in the future is well worth going that route. There are many including yours, good quality leather straps that can be changed out. Merry Christmas, and say hi to your father.

[@johnholtz1205]

Michael Paris I have the oris Aquis. I have many watches. Aquis is amazing. It gets attention the others don’t 🤷🏼‍♂️. It has in house movement. It’s reworked “caliber”. I guess they get away with saying that due to modifications. Any who they are bomb.com

[@gilbertler03]

Oris bracelet is one of the most comfortable.

[@fourlakes]

Love my Chronoris and really want the 39mm Diver 65

[@greggallinoto2668]

Well done! Love me some Oris

[@fernandoespinosa8055]

BC3 Advanced missing. Please review to round off ORIS exhibition., I´ve been having a hard time finding info on this one, would be great if you could review it, you guys are the best. Thanks and greetings.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Show us the 36mm and the 40mm divers?

[@Rosay__]

Great POV on Oris...but now I’m craving Hop Kee!

[@mikelawrence6840]

i love the pointer date i had one and went on a walking holiday and yes i slipped and fell and smashed it. should have worn the gshock

[@markjames1680]

Looks amazing in a bracelet.

[@evh4611]

At 1:58 Is that a Aquanaut on your wrist? You own that?

[@kshitijmehta3646]

should i trade my Chopard Mille Miglia in for the Oris 80th anniversary green one?

[@achimbj]

Great video, great watches!

[@christianmotos]

Nice pullover! Where'd you get it? As for Oris--is the big crown 36mm available in all colors or select?

[@paulsteele6120]

What was the model that had the Hawker Hunter on the end of the seconds sweep pointer??

[@kato0291]

Christian-which dial/size configuration of the divers 65 would you go for?

[@MrBloopt]

What's the size of the original Big Crown? Is the 36mm closer to the original or 40mm?

[@chiragvaswani8995]

I believe the original was 36mm

[@jasonp6908]

Keep up the good job

[@bjornfollin5056]

What brand of glasses do you wear? I've been looking for a pair of that model that has adjusters(?) at the nose bridge, but with no luck. Not sure what the correct term is here, but hopefully you get what I mean.

[@teddio]

I got some from Burberry that has those nose pads.

[@kitzybombflak]

Any idea what glasses Christian is wearing?

[@petermagdina9868]

my ocd wont let me buy the big crown pointer date, as numbers are wrong, date 23 and 24 are not in harmony, i do not understand why numbers 9-23 are up-side-down. It looks like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,6.... I simply cannot buy such design also from other vendors.

[@balpreetsingh8624]

First comment. Great video BTW, I love Oris as a brand, for what they stand for and the quality they offer at their price point.

[@DEXVD]

Whoever edited this and added the clicking sound, please don't.

[@ciao_abhi]

whats wrong with it?

[@gasparghent9383]

DEXVD Do you mean ticking sound? I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it.

[@M3LTUP]

Oris makes some really nice watches.

[@dduncan45]

one is called the diver 65, the other (with large numerals) is called the Diver 65 Heritage.

[@voornaamachternaam255]

What do you think about christopher ward watches?

[@sanantoniotonight5569]

Well done....

[@astro0125]

Yeaaaaaa, Bloomfield NJ haha Love the Big Crown, it really is an interesting look, but the movement at that price lacks any decoration, like you'd get with Stowa, Longines, etc at that price point, only real complaint

[@ceori6399]

I dont understand why they would advertise the 36 as a women’s watch instead of unisex. When i purchase a watch the brand plays a big part, so having that brand advertise the size i’m interested in as womens sized watch is very discouraging to me.

[@joedingwall271]

"Niiiiiice! Crunchayyyy!"

[@Wa-wk6qk]

Christaaaaaaan, what is your wrist size?

[@MrJtrot90]

I don't understand the comment about their website, I think it's miles ahead of most. 🤷‍♂️

[@martinsmolarik3143]

nice watch + great sweater

[@charleshermetix3886]

Awesome vid dude.i too appreciate this brands vision..the aquis and other new divers are mezmerizing as well.i think nato straps take the focus and sense of symmetry away from the watch and make it look..well,odd🤷

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Great video!

[@grzegorzcyga5848]

Love ORIS !!!!!

[@axegekko6477]

What's your thought on this Bloomberg article? www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-19/swiss-watch-production-ebbs-as-shipments-approach-35-year-low

[@j.s.3414]

I really like Oris. Id also really like to buy an Oris, if they weren't so massive.

[@oneill8390]

Joe Joe is 36mm massive??

[@f1shf1ngers24]

😂

[@scottallan3327]

It's almost like you're struggling to say you like the brand (just my opinion)

[@dustytriumph]

I really like the 2012 iteration of the Big Crown Pointer Date. I wish that was still available but with sapphire. I really want to like the current version but design details of the 2012 have ruined it for me.

[@timemeasured9137]

Oris one my my favourite brands…..why nobody talks about their Artelier line????

[@AngadAnand1]

6:30, 7:25 I just got the one on the bracelet on a sale at a really good price. And I can't to wear it.

[@TuEIite]

I absolutely love Oris but that little y2k segment oof big yikes!

[@JaredPogas]

No mention of the movements used. That’s unfortunate.

[@marcod4538]

Any comments on the Atelier series anyone?

[@patricktutek7933]

The date hand was off the mark on several of dial shots of the Pointer.

[@wuyeah1980]

Duh...cuz the initial release diver Sixty-Five is no longer in production. So the name make sense.

[@jeanlefranc3817]

How does your contract work with London Jewellers ? On number of views ?

[@williamcoolidge9884]

Why would he disclose that information?

[@jeanlefranc3817]

William Coolidge Christian has every right not do. But I am looking at it from a T&H subscriber viewpoint. The channel content has evolved over the last two years from geeky stuff about vintage watches to often being a billboard for London Jewellers. On Watchbox, Tim Mosso is very transparent about the fact that his monthly salary is paid by Govberg.

[@bennyaguilar5340]

How is Oris website atrocious?

[@carloswillatkins]

Love the mint but can't find it in a 40mm to save my life.

[@sghu11]

How were they allowed to rip off the oyster bracelet? First time I've seen such s good copy of the oyster...

[@joes8134]

I am torn on Oris, on one hand they do have great cases and finishing for the money, on the other the movements are absolutely pedestrian, a red rotor on an otherwise unmodified, unregulated movement. But I guess this is why the price is where it is, and so the flip flopping of buying one continues....

[@ElliotDrinksWater]

I mean I yeah it would be nice if they had in house movements, but they don't need to. And if they did, they'd would be as much if not more expensive than Omega. And that's just not a price bracket they can compete in right now. There's nothing wrong with the Sellita movement, I wish they'd decorate a bit more but it's fine. My Aquis is getting about +1 per day out of the factory, which pretty great.

[@joes8134]

I have no issues it’s not in house, I just wish they’d use top grade movements, Stowa gives you the option and it’s not even a 3 figure difference for the upgrade... oh well

[@dparis2172]

I share those feelings regarding the movement, though I thought it was regulated and the pointer date complication qualifies as modification, I believe.

[@vitvel]

You guys can sell me anything!

[@johnholtz1205]

Aquis all day everyday

[@_taxman_]

Love the Big Crown and know it's meant for pilots, but when I'm not pretending to fly planes, I would love to hop in the pool wearing one and not have it be destroyed. Oris, get your sheet together ffs.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

the only watch house that can get away with a large crown on a small watch is.......Patek.

[@sabeaniebaby]

Why is any reference to anything feminine always associated with a negative connotation?

[@vicentvanmole]

if u lay all the watches down so no one know which u are referring to.or get an over head shot video,so we can see those watches. Next time .

[@russellalfonso2962]

Time travel back to the 1940s, 50s and 60s, point to any random guy off the street wearing a timepiece, and call his watch "feminine" and he'll have no clue as to what you're talking about.

[@skateboarding118]

Is it just me that thinks this basically looks like an alpinist with a more muted dial?

[@Brown_cheese]

Nope, just you.

[@happy_burger]

No, the Alpinist looks like this. Oris was introduced in 1930s, Alpinist in 1960s

[@skateboarding118]

Happy Burger Touché

[@skateboarding118]

You learn something new everyday

[@ki6eki]

why do all watch youtubers look the same/have the same style
