In the Spotlight: Oris Watches
For over a century, Oris watches have been emblems of adoration amongst collectors and casual wearers alike. Celebrated for their unique ethos within the world of Swiss watchmaking, Oris watches strike a distinctive balance between history, craftsmanship, and innovation.
Acclaimed today for their commitment to crafting high-precision pieces through sustainable practices, there are countless reasons Oris watches are worth your time. Let's take a look at the heritage, horology, and hallmark qualities defining this distinguished brand.
Introducing Oris watches
The story of Oris watches begins in Hölstein, Switzerland, in 1904.
Born with a steadfast mission to create timepieces that are reliably made and reasonably priced, Oris remains true to this customer-first sentiment today, operating independently of the watchmaking super-groups with whom many of their contemporaries align. Instead, Oris remains autonomous and ethically-driven: powered by Swiss precision, iconic design, and an innovative approach to sustainable practices.
Is Oris a luxury watch brand?
Some speculate whether Oris truly belongs in the category of luxury watches. While the answer is yes, it is also nuanced. Oris watches offer world-class designs worthy of their prestigious heritage while taking a bold stance against the exclusivity associated with luxury watches — championing the ideology that exquisite timepieces should be available at an accessible price. For many Oris enthusiasts, this philosophy only makes these sophisticated watches all the more attractive.

What makes Oris a good watch brand?
Delivering a daring juxtaposition between the traditional and the revolutionary, let's look at why Oris timepieces have carved out a special niche in the world of luxury watchmaking.
Oris relies on time-honored traditions
True to their heritage, Oris designs, develops, and manufactures its timepieces exclusively in Switzerland. Scrutinized to meet high quality and performance standards, Oris watches are likewise committed to their unique approach to design, producing only mechanical watches to remain loyal to artistic traditions.
Eco-conscious innovation on a mission
If you're looking for a lush watch brand that creates timepieces with the planet in mind, Oris sets the standard. Embracing initiatives ranging from carbon-neutral practices to eco-conscious partnerships, Oris leads as one of today's most sustainable watch brands. For example, Oris’ on-going partnerships with the Australian Marine Conservation Society and Reef Restoration Foundation are a testament to their commitment to ocean and marine ecosystem protection. As an authorized Oris dealer, Lux Bond & Green proudly supports this mission, standing alongside Oris by making our own commitment to environmental preservation through the 'Too Precious to Wear' pledge.
Oris’ Change for the Better Days campaign also aims to take a hands-on approach to cleaning up our planet. The campaign hosts events around the world, run by Oris Sustainability Ambassadors, who work throughout the globe—everywhere Oris watches are sold.
Oris has also partnered with Wings of Hope, a humanitarian aviation organization bringing medical aid to remote areas of the world. As a fundraising mechanism, Oris has released limited edition watches to benefit the organization.
Better still…Unlike watch brands that offer sustainable designs at high price points, Oris crafts timepieces at an accessible cost—offering a one-of-a-kind entry point to the world of luxury Swiss watchmaking.
