In 1938, Oris launched the Big Crown, an aviator's watch whose oversized crown could be operated with flight gloves and whose date was read by a central hand over a perimeter scale: the "pointer date" that gives the model its name.
That complication, cheaper to manufacture than a date window in the thirties, became Oris's aesthetic signature over time: no other brand has kept it in production so consistently, and the Big Crown Pointer Date has been in the catalog for decades without interruption.
The modern 40mm version keeps the original's three codes — big crown, coin-edge fluted bezel, and date hand — with the Sellita-based Oris Calibre 754, a domed sapphire crystal, and 50 meters of water resistance, enough for everyday life.
In Cazador's catalog it completes the Oris triad alongside the Aquis and the ProPilot: the historic face of an independent house from Hölstein that has built accessible mechanical watchmaking since 1904.

A fourth central hand, tipped with a crescent, points to the day of the month on a 1-to-31 scale printed around the dial's perimeter.
An inheritance from the 1938 original: pilots had to be able to wind and set the watch without removing their flight gloves.
The Oris 754, an automatic on a Sellita SW 200-1 base with a pointer-date module, 28,800 vph, and about 38 hours of power reserve.
Its 5 bar (50 m) covers occasional swimming and daily wear, but it is not a dive watch; for that Oris has the Aquis.
Yes, it is one of the few relevant Swiss brands without a group behind it: founded in Hölstein in 1904 and independently run since its 1982 management buyout.
