DESCRIPTION
PRESS RELEASE
Big Crown Calibre 473
The Oris Movement Creation Programme continues with an innovative hand-wound calibre with a five-day power reserve, elevated anti-magnetism and a 10-year warranty
For the love of mechanicsThe Oris Movement Creation Programme enters its tenth year with its tenth in-house calibre, continuing a rich mechanical watchmaking story that began in 1904 When we kick-started the Oris Movement Creation Programme in the late 2000s, it revived a part of Oris culture that had been dormant since the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s. Since 1904, Oris had created more than 270 unique calibres. Original, innovative watch movements are part of who we are.
From the outset, the programme brief was clear. Oris movements had to be distinctly Oris. Which meant? Purely mechanical and Swiss Made, with unique functions and performance, and at prices that make sense to today’s world citizen. Our vision remains to create beautiful mechanical watches and original, purpose-driven movements that bring joy to people who love mechanics.
It began in 2014 with Calibre 110, the first of the Calibre 100 Series of hand-wound movements. These beautiful calibres had 10-day power reserves from a single barrel, patented non-linear power reserve indicators, and often additional useful functions, such as a business calendar or a second time zone.
We followed these in 2020 with the Calibre 400 Series, our first in-house developed line of automatics in more than 40 years. These featured five-day power reserves, elevated levels of anti-magnetism, 10-year warranties and 10-year recommended service intervals: The New Standard in Swiss Made automatics.
The response has encouraged us to keep innovating. In the past nine years, we’ve introduced nine highly original, high- performance calibres, installing them in beautifully designed Swiss Made watches.
And now, in the tenth year of the revived Oris Movement Creation Programme, we’re proud to announce a new high-performance hand-wound movement: Calibre 473.

It means establishing specifications and the engineering concept, and financing tooling development and prototyping. Know-how is in-house, manufacturing is by third parties, and we share assembly.
Oris’s in-house movements push prices up. How do you square this with customers? Every Oris movement offers unique properties and performance, such as a five- day power reserve and 10-year warranty, while still representing good value. Our calibres represent Oris values even better and our customers really welcome this.
“It paved the way for the Oris strategy: purely Swiss mechanical watches at prices that make sense”
What’s unique about Calibre 473? Calibre 473 is based on our Calibre 400 and has the same base performance. But it’s hand-wound and has a power reserve indication on its reverse, an indispensable feature for a hand-wound calibre with such a long power reserve. We also designed this indication to be simple to produce and assemble, and to be highly durable, and we’ve filed a patent for it.
Are there further Oris calibres to come? We’re constantly working on new ideas for attractive in-house movements. But it’s too early to tell you about them...
