Title
Oris Pointer Date Automatic Wristwatch – Silver Dial, Stainless Case, 34mm

Introduction
This is a vintage Oris Pointer Date wristwatch, featuring a round case and a silver-toned dial with a textured guilloché centre. The dial displays applied hour markers, blued or darkened dauphine-style hands, and a red-tipped pointer date hand that indicates the date against an outer numbered chapter ring running from 1 to 31. The dial is signed "Oris" with "17 Jewels", "Automatic" and "Swiss Made" printed beneath the logo. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap, giving it a classic vintage appearance typical of mid-twentieth-century dress watches.

Historical & Collector Value
Oris was founded in Switzerland in 1904 and became known for producing mechanically reliable watches at accessible price points throughout the twentieth century. The Pointer Date mechanism, in which a dedicated hand indicates the date on a peripheral scale rather than through a date window, was a design solution employed by several Swiss manufacturers during this period as an alternative to aperture-based date displays. This example, powered by an automatic movement, reflects the technical and aesthetic conventions common to Swiss watchmaking of its era.
