Model: Oris Big Crown Complication Ref. 01 582 7627 4364-07 8 20 78 (Two-Tone)
Overview:
The Oris Big Crown Complication is a distinctive interpretation of the brand’s long-running aviation-inspired Big Crown collection. This two-tone reference combines a stainless steel case and bracelet with warm gold-tone details, while its unusually arranged triple register dial provides calendar and secondary time-zone functionality without sacrificing the traditional character of the Big Crown design.
Originally retailing for approximately $2,250 USD, this example is accompanied by its original two-tone bracelet, box and papers.
History:
The Big Crown collection traces its origins to 1938, when Oris introduced a pilot-oriented wristwatch featuring an oversized crown designed to be easily operated while wearing gloves. Over the following decades, the Big Crown evolved into one of Oris's most recognizable collections, eventually incorporating complications considerably beyond the simple time-and-date configuration of the original.
The Ref. 01 582 7627 4364 represents one of the more complicated variations of the collection, combining calendar information with an independently adjustable 24-hour display. Its classical dial arrangement and two-tone construction make it an interesting example of Oris's approach to producing accessible mechanical complications.
