Oris has presented the Big Crown Calibre 113, a striking new addition to one of Swiss watchmaking’s most recognisable collections. 

 

Originally designed in 1938 as a precision tool for aviators, the Big Crown’s oversized crown and signature Pointer Date have since become design icons. Today, Oris brings this heritage together with the in-house Calibre 113, creating a timepiece that combines tradition, innovation, and bold modern design.

 

The Calibre 113 movement first appeared in 2017 as part of Oris’s Calibre 100 Series, a family of in-house hand-wound movements defined by a 10-day power reserve and a patented non-linear power reserve indicator. This rare combination delivers both exceptional performance and clarity, with the indicator slowing as the mainspring unwinds, offering greater legibility to the wearer. Calibre 113 also features a complete business calendar, displaying the day, date, month, and week of the year. For the first time, this unique calibre has been housed in the Big Crown, a perfect pairing of form and function.

 

The Big Crown Calibre 113 highlights Oris’s innovative engineering and joyful design language:

* 43 mm stainless steel case – timeless proportions and ergonomic comfort

* Oris Calibre 113 – hand-wound movement with 240-hour (10-day) power reserve

* Non-linear power reserve indicator – providing intuitive readability as winding approaches

* Full business calendar – day, date, month, and 52 weeks of the year displayed via central pointer hand

* Mint green dial – accented by pink counters, with gold and white details for clarity and contrast

* Domed sapphire crystal – anti-reflective on both sides, ensuring maximum legibility

* Stainless steel tapered bracelet – complete with Oris-developed folding clasp

* Water resistance of 50 meters – versatile for everyday wear

* Swiss retail price CHF 6,350 – available September 2025

 

This new release reflects Oris’s continued commitment to developing distinctive in-house movements. The Big Crown Calibre 113 not only tells time, but also organizes the calendar year on the wrist, offering practical functionality to today’s world citizen. Its bold dial colors express Oris’s belief that mechanical watches should not only be functional, but also bring joy and individuality.

 

By uniting the heritage of the Big Crown with the technical achievements of the Calibre 113, Oris has created a watch that tells a story of both history and progress. It is a confident expression of the brand’s independence and its mission to deliver watches that are beautiful, functional, and built to last. - TradeArabia News Service
