Seeing as though Watch Superstar is currently running a deal on cheap oris watches, we thought we would give you a bit of background on these beautiful timepieces.

Based in Holstein, Switzerland, Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian.  Their aim was to bring together Swiss horology tradition along with the watchmaker’s craft in order to make one precision timepiece.

Named after the stream and valley close to Holstein, Oris pride themselves on making purely mechanical watches.  All of their watches operate without batteries and are well equipped with very high quality automatic mechanial movements.

Like many other brands of designer watches, Oris has had it’s watches endorsed by several high profile names including Keanu Reeves and Matthew McConaughey.  Oris also have a history of sponsoring Formula 1 racing and it’s drivers.

These beautiful watches are extremely resilient and can withstand many types of conditions.  In case they need to be maintened, Oris have official service centres all over the world.  All watches are subject to wear and tear so Oris recommend that you service their watches every 3-5 years.
