Oris Artelier Review

Understanding the History of the Oris Artelier Collection

Just before Oris celebrated the 100th anniversary in 2014, the company had achieved a lot. The Artelier series of wristwatches was one of the achievements. Oris’ focus was on traditional timepieces that maintain the classic nature while showcasing Oris’s commitment to luxury watchmaking since its initiation in 1904.

In 2003, Oris had much to offer to its customers. It introduced the Artelier collection and signed a deal with the Williams Formula 1 team. The collection involved elegant timepieces that proudly utilize the Oris's arsenal calibers. These watches were redesigned and reinforced to fit the classic target look. 

Before then, Oris had officially registered the Red Rotor as their official trademark, and the collection enjoyed the brand symbol as a sign of high quality Swiss mechanical timepieces. Since it was launched in 2003, Oris Artelier collection has advanced through the production of new glamorous and high-end models. Besides, the Oris Artelier collection remains a central pillar in the Oris Collections.

What Defines the Oris Artelier Collection Watches?

The Oris Artelier Collection Quality and Accuracy

Oris Artelier collection has luxury watches with high-end features and movements. These features translate to high quality. Quality in house movements and high precision translates to high accuracy. If you have to compare its quality and accuracy with other brands, think about the standards of TAG Heuer and Longines. Being a Swiss Company, it complies with the Swiss watchmaking standards, and this gives assurance that the watches produced are excellent. While manufacturing their timepieces, the focus is given on an individual watch, especially on the assembling stage. Every watchmaker attends to a particular timepiece. 

The Oris Artelier Collection Movements

To mark their 110 anniversary, Oris reintroduced the in-house movements. This was after 35 years since they considered an in house movement. It all started with the Oris caliber 110, a hand-wound caliber. Caliber 110 is big with a power reserve that goes to a maximum of ten days. Also, it enables the linear power reserve indicator. With an increased desire to exploit things further, Oris advanced the 110 movements to Caliber 111, 112, and 113. Artelier caliber 111 adds the date window, caliber 112 the GMT function, and caliber 113 the pointer-date calendar. The various watches in this collection feature any of those high performing movements. 

Oris Artelier Calibre 111

This watch is named after the Oris in house caliber 111. The 34mm movement is hand-wound with hour, minutes and small second’s hand. The date aperture is at 9 o’clock and the non-linear power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock. The power reserve serves you for 240 hours. The classic looking watch has a small and large dial. The hands have a Super-LumiNova to enable reading in a low light condition.

Oris Artelier Complication

The Oris Artelier Complication holds a key position in both the Oris brand and Oris Artelier collection. In 1991 after the quartz crisis, Oris introduced the first Complication. The watch was given such a name because it had classic complications like day, date, seconds, and moon phase indicators. In 2017, Oris decided to give Complication an advanced facelift. This is evidence from the first look at the case, dial, and straps.

The 40MM Oris Artelier moon phase has slimmer lugs and a less conspicuous bezel. At the front, the case is glass sandwiched, and at the back, you can easily see the Calibre 781 which is a modified Sellita SW200. The dials have either a warm tone with gold plated hour markers and hands or blue hands and markers. At 12, you will notice the moon phase. The date sub-dial is at 9, day time is at 6, and the second’s time zone at 4.

Every Oris complication moon phase comes with a characteristic strap. The good thing is that they all pair and complement the watch. For instance, the blue leather strap for a watch with blue hands and markers and brown straps matches with rose gold. The capability to choose the Oris Artelier complication moon phase with silver dial on a strap, silver dial on a bracelet, blue strap, or silver-blue on bracelet gives wide options to buyers.
