Title Oris 17 Jewels Date Manual Winding Watch, Gold-tone Case, Silver Dial Introduction This timepiece from Oris presents a round case with a gold-tone finish, paired with a silver-toned dial featuring a fine textured pattern at the center.

Historical & Collector Value Oris, founded in Switzerland in 1904, has a long-standing history of producing mechanical watches, with particular attention to reliable movement construction. The use of a manually wound 17-jewel movement in this piece is characteristic of watches produced during a period when hand-wound calibers remained standard for compact, everyday timepieces. The layered dial texture and applied numeral styling are representative of design conventions commonly seen in Swiss-made watches of this category.
