![]() ![]() Oris also point out a water resistance test is required after 5 years, with optional gaskets change. It’s worth mentioning here, that new movement enhances the warranty on a watch to 10 years – all one has to do is register the watch on the official website, under “MyOris” tab. Barrels can be charged via the crown or with automatic winding, provided by semi- openworked rotor. Constructed of 135 components, it comes with two mainspring barrels, accumulating energy sufficient for 5 days. Oris Calibre 400Īccording to Oris, it took them 5 long years to fully develop and execute caliber 400. We usually start our reviews with the outside of a watch, but this time it is the movement that plays the leading role, so let’s look at it first. To put it shortly – Oris owes the man a lot. Studer, a co-CEO with an open mind, wide smile and positive attitude, reinvigorated Oris with interesting projects, some new styling and smart strategy, that allows the company to grow while still being fully independent. Young and vigorous Rolf Studer, a man co-running the company already for some time, is no short of surprises, but they never went that far, usually focusing on esthetical details. It came as quite a surprise to see Oris with its own, automatic caliber, for the journalists and clients alike. It all happened at the end of 2020, when caliber 400 has been introduced – a brand new, automatic, base movement as it should be. ![]() ![]() Oris still lacked a proprietary base movement that would also allow to keep the price almost unchanged. Developed and enhanced through next years, it should be treated as more of a curiosity and sort of a show-of-power, that mostly because of its high price never gained mass popularity. In 2014, for the brand’s 110 th birthday, Holstein based Oris perpetuated a caliber 110 with a hefty 10 days power reserve. Couple of decades ago Oris had over 200 in-house calibers, that for economical reasons nowadays are made rather scarcely, for very special occasions. That allowed Oris to keep the price low, maintain production and reliability, not to mention easy servicing, if needed. Although since the middle of the 80’s Oris offers only mechanical timepieces, they rarely come with a proprietary movement, instead using mostly Swiss Made of-the-shelf calibers, mainly from Sellita. ![]()
