Oris Rolls Back the Clock with the Oris Star Edition: Relive the 1960s With this Timeless Revival
Revealed at Watches and Wonders 2026, Oris demonstrates its commitment to progressive watchmaking by diving into the rich reservoir of its history. Oris has consistently pushed boundaries and with the new Star Edition, it capitalises on its pioneering past to fuel its innovative future. The timepiece radiates with the character of the 1960s, encapsulating the aesthetic of the era with exceptional attention to detail.
The origin of the Star traces back to when Oris dared to challenge the Swiss Watch Statute. The statute stifled innovation by restricting the use of pin-lever escapements. Oris, unfazed, employed a legal expert to overturn the law, accomplishing the feat in 1965. As a monumental breakthrough, the Oris Star was born, a year later – their very first in-house lever escapement watch.
Fusing function with style, the Star Edition provides a water resistance of 50m. The solid caseback is adorned with a vintage Oris Shield engraving, paying tribute to the 1966 model. The dial seamlessly aligns with the classic aesthetic. Double indices mark the hours, apart from cardinal hours, filled with wider solo batons. If ever there was a timepiece to transports you to a bygone era while standing tall in today’s world, it’s the Oris Star Edition.
