Oris Big Crown

Oris Big Crown – pilot's watches with character

The Oris Big Crown is one of the most tradition-rich lines from the Swiss brand Oris and is closely tied to the history of pilot's watches. Its name comes from the distinctive oversized crown, which once allowed the watch to be operated in the cockpit even while wearing gloves. Today the line stands for an unmistakable design that combines functional aviation heritage with everyday robustness.

Character of the line

Clearly legible dials, bold hands and the typical cockpit flair are characteristic. Within the Big Crown family there are different expressions – from the historically inspired Big Crown Pointer Date with its central date hand to the modern tool watch Oris Big Crown ProPilot. Limited editions such as the Big Crown Wings of Hope Limited Edition further extend the line.
