Good afternoon all.

I have a Oris that I am trying to date.

I have requested info from "Oris" but if there is a Oris fan out there, Date & name?

Timely regards.

Roy.

Roy,
from the style and look of your watch, I'd guess it dates from around the 60's. I too like Wind Indicator feature. That was a great find for you.

Hello, Dave.

Yes I dated around the 60's but good to have verified!

The "wind indicator! is a real "plus".

I shall post any further information received from "Oris" website!

Timely regards.

Roy.

Hi Dave & John.

Received a reply from Oris:

I called the timepiece a "Wind Indicator".

Oris have kindly replied to my e-mail requesting History information etc.

"Dear Roy

According to our watchmaker this is as you already now a Movement 605 Kif
Automatic with power reserve.

It was produced from 1950 to 1960.
The movement is said to be as complicated due to its power reserve.

The price then was about CHF 200.- approximately £ 95.-.

This is all information I could get.

Thank you for your understanding!


Kind regards,
Fabienne Muster
