The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 473-2 is a remarkable Swiss-made mechanical watch and a true milestone piece for Oris.

At its heart is the updated Oris Calibre 473-2, a hand-wound in-house movement from the acclaimed Calibre 400 series. This beautifully engineered calibre features a power reserve indicator visible through the case back — a wonderful mechanical detail that adds real character and underlines the watch’s horological appeal.

The design pays tribute to the original Oris Big Crown watches, retaining two of the collection’s most iconic features: the oversized crown*and the charming pointer date. Instead of a conventional date window, the date is indicated by a central hand pointing to the date scale around the edge of the dial, giving the watch its distinctive vintage-inspired character.

This model features a 38 mm stainless steel case, a beautiful lagoon blue dial, and a sustainable deer leather strap. The size makes it extremely wearable, while the refined colour and classic pointer date layout give it a stylish, distinctive presence on the wrist.

This particular watch is a demo piece sourced from an official Oris retail shop and comes with Oris warranty. It is in near-new condition, showing only very light handling marks from fitting or trying on, which are hardly visible.

A beautifully executed watch with real horological importance, combining Oris heritage, modern in-house watchmaking and a wonderfully charming design.
