ORIS Small Seconds cal.6565 / 1960s Floating Chapter Ring

— Indexes floating in air —

A vintage Oris that pleasantly betrays what you expect of a watch.

Its defining feature is the chapter ring carrying the indexes, running right around the outside of the dial.

A gold case and a soft ivory dial.

In the narrow transparent space between them, modern numerals at twelve, three, six and nine rise beautifully, as though released from gravity.

— The beat of time, from the front as well as the back —

An inventive approach, quite unlike a display back.

In the scene beyond that transparent ring, a copper-coloured manual movement carrying Swiss tradition shows its fine skeleton with real pride.

The small seconds at six is full of the affection only an antique can offer — something a digital display could never give.

Modern numerals floating in transparent space. A one-of-a-kind depth no current model has.

— Vintage modern that belongs in the present —

The character of a case worn by fifty or sixty years has been handed down as a depth all its own.

Every time it appears at a cuff, its intelligent avant-garde quality will take the eye.

For anyone looking for a watch with real individuality that nobody else will be wearing.
