Title
ORIS Pointer Date Automatic Vintage Watch – 17 Jewels, Gold-Tone Case, 34mm

Introduction
This vintage timepiece from ORIS presents a round gold-tone case paired with a cream-toned dial. The dial features a distinctive pointer-date function, indicated by a red-tipped hand that circles a date scale positioned along the outer edge of the dial, complementing the applied Arabic numerals and arrow-shaped hour markers at the inner track. The dial is signed "ORIS 17 JEWELS" and "AUTOMATIC," with "SWISS MADE" inscribed near the six o'clock position. The watch is currently fitted with a black leather strap, which has been newly replaced. Overall, the piece reflects a balanced, classic design characteristic of mid-century dress watches.

Historical & Collector Value
ORIS is a Swiss watchmaking company established in the early twentieth century, known historically for producing mechanical watches with practical complications aimed at everyday use. The pointer-date mechanism, as seen on this model, was a popular alternative to the aperture-style date window during the era, offering a distinct visual method of displaying the date via a dedicated hand. This watch, powered by an automatic movement with 17 jewels, represents the type of functional, well-engineered timepieces that ORIS produced during this period, illustrating the design conventions and mechanical approaches common to mid-twentieth-century Swiss watchmaking.
