Oris is such a great brand. Still independent. Still innovating. Has their own "classics" like the pointer date, diver 65, and Aquis. Great entry level luxury around the 1-2k price point. I have a 39mm Aquis with the sellita and green dial and it has been an excellent watch for the last 3 years. BTW Teddy is getting close to one million subscribers.

oris is easily one of the best watch brands when it comes to value for money. They produce such iconic pieces with rich history, and Oris isn’t afraid to try something new or innovate their watches. This makes them one of my favorite watch brands in the industry.

Several years ago, I was enamored by the Big Crown Pointer Date lineup when I first discovered it. I've been waiting to purchase one and did so just this last week (stainless steel with a blue dial). It brings me an extra bit of joy waiting for my watch to arrive in the mail after having watched this. Seeing that Oris is an unpretentious company with an ethos centered around joy and connecting with people is hear warming. Nice job.

As an owner of multiple Oris watches this comment section makes me very happy! I really love the brand not only for their sympathetic image and independence but also for the awesome value for money and unique designs. Their watches are not a knock off of any other famous models. For me the quality and finishing is on a level comparable to many Omega's but for way less. Especially as Omega is really going up with the prices nowadays. And yes, I own multiple watches of both brands so I can really compare. Thanks so much for the great journey to Hölstein, Teddy! Best regards from Germany

Oris are such a great brand. I feel they're the kind of brand that if you see someone wearing one there's a high chance that persons a watch enthusiast. And my calibre 400 Aquis is a fantastic watch, keeps my Omega Planet Ocean humble, a watch over twice its price.

Thank you for unintended trip down memory lane, much appreciated.

This is an impressive video. The independence and innovation is one reason why I bought a Propilot X while in Lucerne in June. After three months, the watch stopped working. I went to a local AD and it was sent for repair at the authorized repair center in the USA, The Watchmaker in Stoneham MA. After receiving an initial email saying the watch was received and approved for warranty, nothing has been updated on the repair. It has been almost 3 months. With the cost of this watch, this is unacceptable.

Many thanks Teddy and Rolf for the video. I would not say that I am a fan of any particular brand but I do have a few Oris models in my collection. I have the cal 403 pointer date and it's a modern watch in a case that can be worn by almost anyone. I also have the older pointer date with the coin edge bezel ox blood dial. On paper these may look similar but on the wrist they are very different and have very different personalities. I also like the Aquis range a lot and in my experience these are the most comfortable integrated watches for me either on the bracelet or the rubber strap in the case of the New York Harbor version. I look forward to future models.

Wow. I'm so glad I watched this video. My favorite watch in my collection is the Cherry Red, but over the past couple of years I had started doubting if Oris was actually worth the money. Their non-regulated SW 200 movements, mineral crystal casebacks and lack of on-the-fly adjustability just isn't up to snuff with today's watch market. This video emphasizes the things Oris doesn't tell you. First, they're a small company. Second, they do lote of quality control despite being so small. And the amount of human involvement in every step of the process is very impressive. I expected something like Tudor's new factory where every step is fully automated. Oris has some improvements to make, but they're not as far behind as I thiught. Thanks Teddy for a great video!

I think they give high quality at a fair price. There are so many others I would love to own, but I can't ever part with the ones I have! I think Rolf said it well...."we are serious about watchmaking, but we don't take ourselves too seriously". That pretty much says what the brand is all about. Love these watchmaker tours!

There was an issue with the date indicator and date change, I wrote to Oris, they recommend sending it to authorized service. I did that and since that time it is already two times that I had to send it back as the issue still persist. Most probably, I will have to send it back one more time as the authorized service cant handle with the problem. Maybe they are "going their own way"? Still, if you ask me if I would buy it again?
