Leonhard Euler
Took me a bit to work out but got how to read the time on this one
That 1000m chrono is the second best Oris ever, just incredible piece. Only thing better is Carlos Coste 2000m LE.
Here's mine swiss hunter team LE.
This is mine...
Nice watches guys.
L. Euler is really special and intriguing (especially inner numeral 1707, Euler's birth year).
I have another oris tt1 chrono

I should have kept my regulator!
i really like oris, they are one of my two fave brands. i tend to like almost everything they put out.
these are my current 4
i used to have a diver date which was another nice uniquely put together piece.
Is one of them a pro dive as that's on the 2014 wish listOriginally Posted by sheepsteeth

yes, the 3rd one along is the prodiver.
excellent watch in my opinion. it is big at 49mm but very light due to the titanium and the bezel is hands down the best engineered and feeling bezel i have used, it is very cleverly (even if unnecessary) done.
I don't own an Oris, but this would do me nicely. I like it. What model is it?This is mine...
A big crown chrono for me. I wish more watches (e.g., the moon watch and other manual ones with fiddly crowns) had a big crown like this. It's just great to wind.
This has been my daily wear for the last few years…
("borrowed" photo as I have realised that I don't have any pics of mine)
Oris Big Crown with Pointer Date and sub seconds.
Oris TT1 Chrono from 2004. An early one, as they then went on to have the insert with a quarter segment in red.
(the one in the middle is actually broken, but it still looks good)
I like them, here's a few that I've had.
The articulated lugs makes me think that it's an Oris Williams, which were a tie in with the F1 team. Not sure that they're still make, but they were good honest watches.
I forget about these two.
The more Oris I see the more I like them. Have any owners got a view of their general quality and their quality versus other well known brands?
Could be. The lack of a Williams logo threw me a bit, but it seems they don't all have that. I would want it without.
Had a couple - both now gone.
Lovely watches.
Had four, including that lovely Big Crown. A Chronoris too, but that also had a production fault and the factory couldn't provide the AD with an estimate of when they would produce another batch, so I got my money back. Shame really.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
i like the quality and feel of them enough to own 4. i keep looking at their other offerings too and am finding it hard to stay disciplned enough to save my cash for the planned purchases i have.
i think any of my oris watches match the quality of my breitlings and my omega and if im honest, im not sure what specifically makes the physical quality of my rolex all that much better (although there will be a tirade of folk citing any number of intangible and frankly invisible features as to why their rolex is at the pinnacle of fit and finish). i certainly think the clasps on my oris watches are streets ahead of the clasps on my breitlings and the bezel on the prodiver is by far a better engineered feature than any of the other rotatable bezels i have. oh, andthe twist lock bayonet type crown on the bc4 chrono, is a superb engineering solution.
all just my opinion of course.
Here's mine , the first F1 No 0134 ....
Sorry for the iPhone photo , Hardys Stamp was on special , and don't get me started on the San Miguel :-)
PS...... This is what it should look like ....
I am definitely an Oris fan.
Really good quality for the price point, and great looking too. And a bit different, I think.
Here are 3 I've had, still have the updated (wavy line) blue TT1.
Must learn how to post photos without links :-(((
Here's mine, wouldn't swap it for anything
Thanks for the feedback, it makes interesting reading! I'm considering one for my 40th later this year and wanted a solid everyday watch (office worker) which I didn't have to worry about too much. I realise however hard I try my Breitling in the main gets saved for high days and holidays. With a six month old baby a really big spend item is out of reach but an Oris could be achievable :) thanks for your post.
My camera work simply doesn't do it justice, but here's my Artelier Skeleton.

This was the first expensive watch I bought and enjoy it as much now as I did when I got it.

That is exactly the same model I have. Congrats on your very good taste sir!
Not nearly enough vintage stuff in this thread.
Here's my ChronOris.
Rich.

As any fule kno, and as some may not kno, this is because Oris was famous once for making relatively cheap pin-pallet "Rosskopf" movements that featured only 7 or so jewels. They were forced to do this by the rest of the Swiss watch industry so as not to disturb the balance of competition. One of SwatchCo's predecessor companies then bought Oris in 1970 or so, around the time of the quartz crisis, and had them making low-cost, entry-level type mechanicals and then quartzes when quartz movement production was mechanised sufficiently. They then made basically cheap, uncollectible watches until a management buy-out, some time in the mid '80s. So up until this point, a lot of Ores were disposable to a degree.Not nearly enough vintage stuff in this thread.
Before the buy-out, though, they were able to make chronometer-grade pin-pallet movements that performed as well (although weren't as long-lived) as jewelled-escapement movements. In a short period of time, Oris proved its worth by making watches with proper movements featuring interesting complications such as this DD-equipped Chronoris. It's a nice story, I think.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Big Crown Commander, my first "real" watch.
