What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its 120-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties, with reviewers noting its simplified design and vibrant blue dial. Owners highlight the smooth winding feel of the in-house Calibre 403 movement, which features twin barrels.
