Oris
Oris is one of the few Swiss watchmakers still producing solely mechanical timepieces. A mechanical watch is a work of art that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so for centuries to come. Oris’s goal is to produce timepieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and technologically sophisticated. For instance, the Calibre 400 Series of Swiss Made automatics was designed in-house and has a five-day power reserve, anti-magnetism, a 10-year guarantee, and 10-year service intervals.
