Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bullseye

Oris has reimagined its iconic Big Crown Pointer Date with a bold new twist: a striking two-tone “Bullseye” dial inspired by a 1920s model that vanished from the brand’s catalog in 1988. Returning with a compact 38mm stainless-steel case, red accents, and strong neo-vintage appeal, this 2026 edition merges heritage charm with graphic clarity. The result is a punchy and legible design that reaffirms the Pointer Date as a cornerstone in Oris’ legacy, plus a possible future bestseller.The “Bullseye” model is housed in a multi-piece stainless-steel case measuring 38mm in diameter and 12.2mm in thickness, with a compact lug-to-lug span of 45.5mm. Its retro-style presence is enhanced by a coin-edged bezel and fluted oversized crown, originally designed for ease of use while wearing gloves. The overall silhouette retains the classic lines of the Big Crown family while delivering a more compact and versatile wrist profile.The screw-down caseback features a mineral glass window, offering a clear view of the signature red rotor of Oris’ automatic movement. Though not elaborately finished, the movement is visible in full and emphasizes the watch’s functional character and ease of servicing. The caseback is secured with screws and completes the clean utility-driven build.It comes equipped with a large fluted crown, flanked by the knurled bezel that frames the box-shaped sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coating on the inside. Water‑resistance can reach up to 50 meters (165 feet).
The dial of the “Bullseye” model features a bold, sector-style layout composed of four concentric rings. This design revives a visual motif last seen in Oris catalogs in the late 1920s, offering a strong vintage aesthetic with graphic clarity. The outermost ring is light grey and carries the red date numerals, followed by a precise railway-style minutes and seconds track. Framed by a bold black chapter ring, the innermost segment returns to light grey, creating a classic target-like contrast between zones. The effect is both utilitarian and stylized, as in visually striking and historically grounded.Arabic numerals are printed in crisp white on the black chapter ring and balanced evenly around the dial. The pointer date is marked by a thin central hand ending in a sharp red crescent tip, coordinating with the outer red numerals. Oris’ logo is placed discreetly under 12 o’clock, allowing the dial’s layered geometry to speak for itself. The layout is symmetrical and neatly proportioned, offering strong legibility without clutter.A domed sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective coating protects the dial. Cathedral-style hour and minute hands contribute to the neo-vintage appeal and feature Super-LumiNova-filled segments for nighttime legibility. The triangular 5-minute markers on the railway track and the oversized numerals add depth to the dial’s architecture, while the interplay of matte and printed elements reinforces its graphic precision.
