Title ORIS Vintage Swiss-Made Round Watch with Date Pointer, 17 Jewels – 34mm Introduction This vintage ORIS wristwatch presents a round metal case paired with a clean cream-toned dial. The dial is marked "ORIS 17 JEWELS" along with "WATERPROOF ANTI-SHOCK," and features black Arabic numerals for the hours, complemented by a red outer track numbered 1 through 31 for the date. Gold-tone hands, including a red-tipped sweep seconds hand that doubles as a date pointer, add a distinctive visual element to the dial layout. The case is fitted with a newly replaced black leather strap (non-original), giving the piece a tidy, wearable overall appearance consistent with its period of production. Historical & Collector Value ORIS, founded in Switzerland in 1904, has a long history of producing mechanical watches with an emphasis on functional, accessible design. This model reflects the styling conventions common to mid-century Swiss watchmaking, including a straightforward three-hand layout supplemented by a pointer-date function displayed on an outer chapter ring, a design solution frequently used before the widespread adoption of aperture-style date windows. The waterproof and anti-shock designations printed on the dial are characteristic of the practical, everyday watches produced during this period, illustrating the manufacturer's approach to combining reliability with simple, legible dial design.
