HISTORY: Oris was founded in Hölstein, Switzerland in 1904 and became one of the important producers of affordable Swiss mechanical watches during the 20th century. The Super series represents the classic post-war Oris style, combining robust Swiss movements with elegant everyday case and dial designs. CONDITION: The watch is in genuine vintage condition and shows visible signs of age and use. The black dial retains an attractive original vintage appearance but shows scratches, marks and age-related wear. The applied markers and hands also show ageing. The gold plating shows noticeable wear, particularly around the case edges and lugs, with surface scratches and loss of plating in some areas. The crystal also shows age-related marks and scratches. The leather strap is a later replacement. No recent documented service history is available. As this is a vintage mechanical watch, long-term accuracy and power reserve cannot be guaranteed. A service may be advisable if precise daily timekeeping is required. The “Waterproof” marking is historical only. Water resistance has not been tested and should not be assumed.
