The Many Lives
of a
Well-Made Timepiece

Three ways to wear these versatile, classic watches.

The Many Lives of a Well-Made Timepiece

A well-crafted watch timepiece has the power to make a man feel instantly more confident. Like bench-made shoes or a custom suit, a proper timepiece subtlety says something about the man wearing it. A quick glance at the wrist, and you're instantly informed of his taste and the type of life he leads. Perhaps that's why some men strap on various timepieces—to switch up what they want to say about themselves. Then again, some watches are versatile enough to be worn in any situation—handsome enough for the boardroom yet durable enough for a triathlon.

Take these watches from Oris. All come in a range of styles and straps that allow them to be configured for the life you live. They can also adapt to the various areas of a man's life. From the groundbreaking new Big Crown ProPilot watch (with its groundbreaking time-zone jumping bezel) and the charmingly old school Chronoris to the ultra-rugged yet polished Regulateur (crafted from titanium and finished with Superluminova inlay for the hands), they're the kind of timepieces that will serve you through all the phases of your life. Here's how we'd wear them today.

At
the
Office

Perfect for the business traveler, Oris's new Worldtimer pilot's watch features an innovative bezel that can jump back and forth between time zones. Opt for crocodile leather band when you want to dress it up for the office or other more formal occasions. Anything but dainty, it makes for a more masculine dress watch.

FYI

The Oris Big Crown collection, introduced in 1938, takes its name from the watch's oversized crown—employed as an aid to pilots who adjust their watches while wearing leather gloves.
