Oris Mechanical Moonphase Ref.7592 Black Dial
Model: Oris Artelier Complication Ref. 01 581 7592 4054-07 8 21 73
Overview:
Up for sale is the Oris Artelier Complication, a long-discontinued mechanical moonphase model combining an impressive collection of complications within a classically proportioned 40mm stainless-steel case.
The dial incorporates a moonphase display at 12 o’clock together with separate displays for the date, day of the week and a second time zone on a 24-hour scale. Despite the amount of information presented, the symmetrical arrangement gives the watch a balanced and distinctly traditional appearance.
History:
This generation of the Artelier Complication dates to the mid-2000s, with Oris itself identifying the reference as the “Artelier Complication 2007.” It represents an era when Oris offered unusually complicated mechanical watches at comparatively accessible prices.
The reference offers an interesting combination of moonphase, calendar and second-time-zone complications from an earlier generation of Oris.

Closing Note:
The Artelier Complication is a particularly interesting example of what Oris was producing around two decades ago. Rather than focusing on a single complication, the watch combines a moonphase with day, date and second-time-zone displays while retaining a wearable 40mm case and an elegant dress-watch aesthetic.
With an original retail price exceeding $2,000 and the model now long discontinued, Ref. 01 581 7592 4054-07 8 21 73 offers an impressive amount of mechanical complication for an older Oris. The combination of its moonphase display, multi-register dial, automatic Caliber 581 and original bracelet gives it considerably more character than a conventional three-hand Artelier.
