Description

The Oris Big Crown 7480 is a classic aviation timepiece that perfectly embodies Oris's dedication to functional design and Swiss watchmaking heritage. Known for its oversized crown, which was originally designed for pilots who needed to adjust their watches while wearing gloves, the Big Crown 7480 is a true representation of vintage-inspired aviation style. With a timeless design, high-legibility dial, and robust automatic movement, this watch is a favourite among enthusiasts who appreciate practicality and elegance in equal measure.

The Oris Big Crown 7480 features a 39mm stainless steel case, offering a balanced presence on the wrist while maintaining the durability expected of a pilot's watch. The fluted bezel adds a touch of refinement, enhancing its vintage-inspired aesthetic. The black dial is highly legible, with luminous Arabic numerals and cathedral-style hands, ensuring visibility in all lighting conditions.

A hallmark of this model is the oversized screw-down crown, staying true to the Big Crown heritage and making it easy to operate. The domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating provides scratch resistance and excellent readability. The date complication at 3 o'clock adds everyday functionality without disrupting the symmetry of the dial.

Inside, the watch is powered by an automatic Valjoux 7750 movement, ensuring reliability and accuracy. With a water resistance of up to 50 meters, the Oris Big Crown 7480 is built for both adventure and everyday wear. The watch is paired with a leather strap, reinforcing its classic aviation appeal.

Whether you're a fan of vintage aviation watches or simply looking for a well-crafted timepiece with a storied history, the Oris Big Crown 7480 is an excellent choice that balances form and function effortlessly.
