On the occasion of Watches & Wonders 2026, Oris presents the new Oris Star Edition, a faithful reinterpretation of one of the most important models in its history. This release revives the spirit of the original 1966 model and combines vintage aesthetics with contemporary Swiss engineering.
Design, dial, and aesthetic heritage
The Oris Star Edition maintains a strong connection to the original model through a 35 mm stainless steel barrel-shaped case, with lugs integrated into the silhouette to create a clean visual flow. Its balanced proportions, with a 11.10 mm thickness and a 41.50 mm lug-to-lug distance, make it a compact and comfortable watch on the wrist.
The silver dial embraces a minimalist aesthetic with applied double baton hour markers and square-tipped hands filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility in low light while preserving its vintage character. It also features an asymmetrical date window at 3 o’clock and the inscriptions “Star”, “Automatic”, and “26 Jewels”, a direct nod to 1960s watchmaking.
The design is completed with a vintage-style plexiglass crystal and a screw-down case back engraved with the historic shield of Oris.
Movement, performance, and spirit of the watch
Inside, the watch is powered by the Oris Calibre 733, a Swiss-made automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve. It offers hours, minutes, central seconds, and date functions, along with a quick-set date and a stop-seconds mechanism for precise time setting.
The watch comes with a black leather strap with a steel buckle and offers a water resistance of 5 bar, making it suitable for daily wear.
Beyond its technical specifications, the Oris Star Edition pays tribute to a key moment in the brand’s history, the liberation from restrictions that had limited innovation in Swiss watchmaking for decades. Its return symbolizes independence, evolution, and continuity.
The new Oris Star Edition is a timepiece that balances historical fidelity with modern functionality. Its restrained design, carefully reinterpreted vintage aesthetics, and Swiss automatic movement establish it as a contemporary tribute to one of the most important chapters in Oris watchmaking history.
