Title Oris Pointer Date Automatic – Vintage Watch, 30mm Case, Ref. 7405 Introduction This Oris Pointer Date model presents a round metal case fitted with an off-white dial featuring applied Arabic numerals and a distinctive pointer-date function, indicated by an outer track of blue and black printed numbers. The dial also displays "ORIS," "17 JEWELS," "AUTOMATIC," and "SWISS MADE" markings, along with a small red-tipped date pointer. Gold-tone hour and minute hands, along with a slender date pointer, contrast against the light dial surface. The watch is fitted with a bracelet, giving it a balanced vintage appearance consistent with mid-century watch design. Historical & Collector Value Oris, founded in Switzerland in 1904, has a long-standing history of producing mechanical watches, with the Pointer Date complication representing one of its notable design contributions. Rather than using a conventional date window, this mechanism employs a dedicated hand to indicate the date along the periphery of the dial, a feature associated with several Oris models throughout the twentieth century. This construction reflects the mechanical ingenuity applied by Swiss manufacturers during the era, offering an alternative to standard date-display formats. The 17-jewel automatic movement referenced on the dial is characteristic of Oris calibers produced during this period, illustrating the brand's continued development of in-house mechanical movements.
