Oris Big Crown Pointer Date

Pastel-colored dials evoking “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and pared-back timepieces in the 38- to 40-millimeter-diameter (1.49- to 1.57-inch) range appear to be on trend, if new watches from the likes of Breitling and Zenith are anything to go by. Not to be overlooked, however, is the Big Crown Pointer Date by Oris, which has been there all along as the brand’s poster boy since 1938. While it was originally created for gloved pilots, the practicality of the watch’s large, legible Arabic numerals and oversized crown has made it a timeless style. The new dial shades of yellow, turquoise and lilac are both warm and calming.
