What we look at on a Oris
Oris has been in Hölstein since 1904 and is independent, which is unusual at its price point. It makes mechanical watches only, and the Aquis dive line and the Big Crown pilot watches are what most people bring us. These are watches bought to be worn rather than stored, so condition varies more than on brands that live in safes.
- The reference and whether the box, manual and warranty card are present
- Bracelet or strap: full link count, and whether it is the original
- Bezel action on the Aquis, which should turn cleanly
- Crystal and case condition, since these get worn hard
- Limited edition numbering, which changes the valuation
Oris lines we buy
- Aquis
- The dive line, in steel, titanium and bronze. Bezel and bracelet condition matter.
- Big Crown and ProPilot
- The aviation lines, including the pointer date.
- Divers Sixty-Five
- The vintage-styled diver. Consistently in demand.
- Artelier
- The dress line, often in gold-plate or steel.
- And many others
- This list is where most people start, not where we stop. Limited editions are valued individually.
Not listed? We buy across the range, including discontinued and vintage references. Call (619) 236-9603 with the reference number and we will tell you where it sits.
Questions people ask first
Is an Oris worth selling, or should I keep it?
That depends on whether you wear it. Oris holds value less aggressively than the big Swiss names, so it is usually a better watch to keep and enjoy than to trade. If it is sitting unworn, bring it in and we will tell you honestly what it is worth.
Do you buy Oris with box and papers missing?
Yes. They help, particularly on limited editions, but they are not a requirement.
What about the bronze Aquis models?
We buy them. Bronze patinas by design and that is expected rather than damage, so do not attempt to polish it back before bringing it in.
Prefer to keep it? Borrow against the watch instead. Not local? Sell from home. Selling something else too? We also buy diamonds, jewelry and designer handbags.
