It is needless to say that the beauty and style of a manual wind caliber cannot be compared to those of a standard automatic caliber and Oris knows that too well. Those who truly love watches like winding their wristwatch by themselves, despite it being something a bit boring from time to time. Are you wondering what the meaning of the first sentence of this paragraph is? If you take a look at the case back depicted in these pictures and you are a bit familiar with Oris and its timepieces, you will immediately realize that the brand has come up with a manual wind movement, something that is quite unusual in today's world, where every other industrial brand is virtually used to release automatic calibers only. Oris has always been famous for its good quality/price ratio but ,with the creation of the Oris Calibre 110, along with the 111, it has definitely gone a step further.įrom an aesthetic and technical point of view, the Oris Calbre 111 brings with it the addition of the date window and I have also read in different articles that some unspecified improvements to the base calibre 110 have been carried out too (please keep in mind that continuous improvements are always underway when a new caliber is born). The Oris Calibre 111 represents the natural evolution of the Oris Calibre 110 limited edition, a timepiece created to mark the 110 th birth anniversary of the Swiss brand. Oris reached such an important milestone in its history thanks to the introduction of something that, in my own opinion, most brands would also need to look at when they decide to design new movements, both in terms of the unique technical solutions found and of the type of architecture selected too.

Since then the Swiss brand has finally entered the restricted-access realm of those manufacturers that conceive their movements in-house. Over one year ago, a bit before the 2014 edition of Baselworld, we were among the first ones to introduce you to Oris and its Caliber 110.
