Oris Watches, a Swiss luxury watch brand known for its precision and craftsmanship, has a rich and fascinating history that dates back over a century. Founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in the picturesque town of Hölstein, Switzerland, Oris quickly gained a reputation for producing high-quality timepieces. In the early years, Oris focused on producing pocket watches with intricate designs and reliable movements.

However, as the demand for wristwatches grew in popularity during World War I, Oris adapted to meet market needs and began manufacturing wristwatches with exceptional accuracy. Throughout the 20th century, Oris Watches continued to innovate and expand its offerings. In 1925, they introduced their first non-magnetic watch with an automatic movement – a significant achievement at the time. This was followed by many other groundbreaking developments such as their patented "red rotor," which became an iconic symbol of Oris watches.

What’s On Offer 

Designed to meet the needs of professional divers this Oris TT1 is a mighty combination of form and function with centre hands for hours and minutes, subsidiary second at 9 h, date window, date corrector, fine timing device and stop-second.
