Oris Square – Swiss Design and Vintage Charm of the 1970s

An elegant expression of 1970s style, this Oris Square captures the essence of Swiss craftsmanship blended with the geometric design trends that defined that decade. With its deep blue dial and gold-toned case, it represents the timeless sophistication that made Oris one of the most respected independent Swiss watchmakers.

Case: Beautiful gold-plated case measuring 38 x 28 mm, with clean square lines and thin lugs that highlight the minimalist elegance of mid-century modern design. The case shape reflects the experimental creativity of the 1970s, when watchmaking aesthetics ventured beyond tradition.

Glass: Fitted with a slightly domed Acrylic crystal, maintaining the authentic vintage look and soft reflections characteristic of watches from this era.

Dial: Stunning blue dial with gold-tone square hour markers and matching hands, creating a harmonious contrast and adding a sense of depth. The minimalist layout reinforces the refined simplicity that makes this piece so timeless.

Water resistance: Untested for water due to age.

Movement: Powered by a Swiss mechanical movement, hand-wound and reliable — a hallmark of Oris’s dedication to precision and longevity. The mechanical heartbeat of this watch is a reminder of the golden age of Swiss horology before the quartz revolution.

Functions: Hours and minutes.

Strap: Generic brown leather strap, suitable for wrists up to 21 cm, complementing the vintage charm of the gold case and blue dial.

Condition: Grade B – visible signs of use consistent with age, overall in good vintage condition and fully functional.

Box: Generic presentation box.

Story:
Founded in 1904, Oris is celebrated for its independence and commitment to mechanical excellence. During the 1970s, while many brands shifted towards quartz technology, Oris continued to uphold the tradition of mechanical watchmaking, producing elegant yet practical timepieces for everyday wear.

The Oris Square embodies that spirit of resilience and sophistication. Its geometric case, minimalist dial, and refined proportions represent an era when watch design became a form of art — modern, daring, and enduringly elegant.

Today, this piece stands not only as a beautiful vintage watch but also as a symbol of Oris’s heritage, reflecting a time when Swiss craftsmanship met the bold aesthetics of a new generation.
