What Makes Oris Watches Different

By: David Scott Home | Shopping-and-Products | Fashion-Style


Oris watches which are well known for their good quality have been manufactured from the beginning of the 20th century. They are of such good quality that they have a lot of admirers. So what is it that makes these designer watches such hot favorites? It is the distinct way in which the date is shown on the dial. They are Swiss watches that have a pointer to show the date. Sometimes it can get difficult coming up with new and attractive ideas to get the customers to keep coming back irrespective of what the product might be. Seeing the time is the last reason to buy one of the Baume & Mercier watches; they are better known for their style and fashion statements.

Oris watches are known to stand the test of time. Many of their collections are based on their history in fashion, aviation and sport. These can be seen in their existing collections of the Frank Sinatra, Flight Timer and Williams F1 watches. Baume & Mercier watches now include the Vice Versa, a model made especially for women. Even though the concept of the watch totally defeats the purpose of owning a watch, it is a real fashion statement. And of course, you can read the time too if you are interested.

Of all the Swiss watches that display the date, Oris watches are totally different because of the date pointer. While most date watches show the date as a number in a rectangular window on the face of the watch, these designer watches are quite different. As the date changes, the date spins and the new date becomes visible in the window. On the other hand, some of the watches in other Oris collections use the traditional date pointer.

The Baume & Mercier watches for women are different because it allows you to wear it inside out and hence it gets its name, Vice Versa. With this watch, you can wear the timepiece on the inner side of your wrist so that the fashion gets displayed on the outside. The other side of the band has a lovely stainless steel buckle decorated with jewels.

In the Oris watches, the date pointer is a third hand and if there is a second hand as well, it could be the fourth one. There are two sets of numbers on the dial of the watch. The inner circle displays the normal hour marks or numbers while the outer one shows the 31 days of the month. As soon as the hour hand crosses midnight, the hour hand moves to the next day. The Vice Versa among the Baume & Mercier watches might not work so well for men as the idea of buying a watch not to see the time does not make sense at all but for women it can be considered as a piece of jewelry. You can also choose from Armani watches, Maurice Lacroix watches, Suunto watches, Bell & Ross watches, Oris watches, Baume & Mercier watches, Raymond Weil watches, Mondaine watches, Traser watches, Seiko watches, Superdry watches and Nixon watches among others.
