Oris Big Crown Waldenburgerbahn L.E. Automatic Men`s

Oris introduces a 1,000-piece edition celebrating the historic railway that brought people and prosperity to the Waldenburg Valley, the independent Swiss watch company’s home since 1904. In December 2022, the 13km network will be reopened after an 18-month project to upgrade it to the latest tramway technology. Once again, Oris employees will be able to make their way to work using this alternative, low-carbon means of transport, helping the company to deliver on the Oris Emissions Reduction Programme, unveiled earlier this year in its first sustainability report. The watch has a 40mm stainless steel case and fluted bezel, and a domed sapphire crystal over a black dial decorated with large, lumed Arabic numerals and a railway-track minute scale. It’s powered by Oris Calibre 754, which fuels the signature Pointer Date function, whereby a central, red-tipped hand points to a date scale running around the edge of the dial. It’s finished on a dark brown strap made of sustainable deer leather supplied by Oris' partner Cervo Volante. The finishing touch? An engraved case back showing the old Waldenburgerbahn steam locomotive and the limited-edition number. The perfect platform to tell the story.
