Steel Oris WW Pointer date Caliber 453 1950s

The Oris Pointer Date with Caliber 453 is a vintage, hand-wound Swiss wristwatch, produced in the 1950s, featuring a distinctive pointer date complication. This watch comes in a 31mm case size, with a 7-jewel mechanical movement and a subsidiary second by the 6. This watch just came back from the watchmaker and is in a very good condition

Introduced in 1938, the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is the brand's signature pilot’s watch, featuring an oversized crown for gloved adjustment and a center hand indicating the date. It was pivotal in saving Oris during the 1970s/80s quartz crisis, maintaining production when many mechanical brands failed. It remains a staple, often using Sellita-based or proprietary in-house calibres.
