The caliber 110 was conceived from the ground up and includes technical features so original that I am pretty sure it could have hardly been produced had Oris been part of a big group. It has an advantage conversely: you are hands-free on any new project. Oris is an independent companyīeing independent has a disadvantage: it does not allow a company to share investments and standardize costs with other brands, which is instead possible if that company belongs to a big industrial group. In 2005, my knowledge of Oris was restricted to its big professional divers’ watches, which represent today a niche for enthusiasts and professional divers alike. He was pleased with the timepiece, found it reliable rather than appealing, and took it at a reasonable price. Back then, I worked for FCA, and one of my colleagues had a three-hands Oris watch he used on a daily basis.
The first time I got my hands and eyes on an Oris watch was in 2005. A brand that I discovered years ago thanks to a former colleague and the ads of its professional divers’ watches After having covered almost every Oris watch in the last two years, including several Divers Sixty– Five, two Carl Brashear Limited Editionwatches and a Pilot, I thought time had come to talk more about the Artelier collection along with Oris‘s family of in-house hand-wound calibers. I’ve been long eager to write an article about this caliber, its derivatives, and the Artelier collection too, and share my feelings. The Oris calibers that belong to the 110 family of mechanical movements are not often in the news, yet this collection represents a best-in-class on the market. Moreover, designing a new caliber is the yardstick of a brand’s capabilities. In-house mechanical movements are today a must for any watch manufacturer since ETA is not providing its technology outside the Swatch Group any longer.
