Dave FreemanRoy,
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.

Roy NewHello, 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.

Roy NewHi 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
