Pointer Date 80th Anniversary

The Oris Pointer Date 80th Anniversary celebrates eight decades of the brand’s signature complication, first introduced in 1938. This edition pays tribute to Oris’s heritage with its distinctive pointer date hand and a deep green dial, housed in a 40mm bronze case that develops a unique patina over time. Collectors appreciate this model not just for its vintage-inspired design, but for how it encapsulates Oris’s independent spirit and commitment to mechanical watchmaking.

This anniversary release is powered by the reliable Oris Caliber 754, based on the Sellita SW200-1, offering smooth hand-winding and a quick-set date function. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, making it suitable for daily wear rather than serious aquatic pursuits. The warm bronze case and coin-edge bezel set it apart from standard steel Pointer Date models, while the green dial is exclusive to this commemorative reference.

Look for the 01 754 7749 3167-07 5 17 66BR reference for the authentic 80th Anniversary edition. Value is driven by condition—bronze cases will each age differently, so patina preference is personal. Full sets with original box and papers command a premium, and the matching distressed leather strap is part of the appeal. Earlier Pointer Date models in steel are more plentiful, but this bronze anniversary version remains a sought-after modern collectible for those who appreciate Oris’s design history.
