![]() One reason that brands today are eager to produce their own movements is because mechanical Swiss movements are becoming harder to source. This usually means that a brand is eager to raise its prices and perceived prestige, but I don’t think that is what it means for Oris. ![]() For 2014 Oris returns to a fully in-house made movement with the 110. In recent years all base movements have been Swiss ETA or Sellita. In 1982, Oris stopped making full movements but kept on making modules that would got over other movements. Oris as a brand was formed in 1904 and from then until 1981 is said to have produced a total of 229 in-house made movement types. To be fair, this isn’t the first movement Oris has produced, though it is the first under the current ownership and modern era of the brand. There is nothing wrong with that, but for 2014 Oris–like many others these days–is beginning to produce watches with their own movements, starting with the Calibre 110. ![]() Until now most people know Oris as a company that sources movements from other Swiss companies to put into their watches. We especially like their sport watches including racing chronographs and of course divers. Oris is one our of favorite Swiss watch brands when it comes to offering a durable, useful design in a relatively affordable package.
