But the simple pleasure of owning one and seeing it work makes life that much more enjoyable. Because if there’s one thing our watches have to do, it’s bring a smile. Whether we’re looking at a Ferris wheel with its open workings, or a mechanical watch movement through a case back, it warms us to see how things work. On this note, Co-CEO of Oris, Rolf Studer, has stated: “Calibre 400 is the new standard the Oris standard.In our digital, connected, touch-sensitive world, the joy of mechanics has taken on new meaning.

This means the watch can theoretically not require servicing until 2030, assuming it doesn’t suffer from the likes of accidental damage or possibly need a water-resistance check. Also, although not yet certified, the Calibre 400 adheres to COSC standards in terms of precision, with an average deviation -3/+5.įinally, any watch using the Calibre 400 has a 10-year guarantee when the owner registers it at MyOris, and requires only ten-year service intervals. The movement, which measures 30.00 mm in diameter (13 1/4 lignes), has a frequency of 4 Herz.

The automatic Calibre 400’s functions include centre hands for hours, minutes, seconds, plus a date, date corrector, fine timing device and stop-seconds. Apart from the slight gain of our test watch, the Oris Calibre 400 leaves nothing to be desired. Therefore, it is unsurprising that the Calibre 400 deviated by less than 10 seconds a day after exposure to 2,250 gauss at the Laboratoire Dubois. Oris’ watchmakers made this a focus throughout production, and as a result, the calibre boasts more than 30 anti-magnetic components. Focus on Anti-MagnetismĪdditionally, the movement is highly anti-magnetic – not least thanks to the new silicon escapement and silicon anchor. Furthermore, the Calibre 400 retains 85 per cent of the energy transferred from the mainspring, while “normal” automatic calibres retain roughly 70 percent. Ultimately, this is possible thanks to the calibre’s twin barrels, both of which house an extended mainspring – each of which is long enough to store two-and-a-half days of power. An Impressive Power Reserveįurthermore, the movement has an impressive five-day power reserve (in other words, 120 hours). It’s an intelligent concept, it has a smart choice of materials that gives it its anti-magnetic properties, and the engineering solutions deliver the reliability that means we can offer a 10-year warranty and 10-year service intervals. As well as improving its durability, this also improves reliability. Calibre 400 is the new standard the Oris standard, says Rolf Studer, Oris’s Co-CEO. The brand has alternatively opted for a low-friction slide bearing concept, which only winds in one direction. While a “normal” rotor sits on a ball bearing, winding in both directions, Oris has removed the ball bearing entirely.

It also symbolised Oris’ philosophy: to produce “high-quality, Swiss Made mechanical watches with real-world functions at accessible prices.” However, the calibre’s new rotor is also interesting. Furthermore, it was a symbol of the Hölstein-based company’s watchmaking skills, and was trademarked back in 2002. The red rotor was a useful indicator as to whether an Oris watch was genuine. Notably, the Calibre 400 does not feature the brand’s recognisable red rotor. The other big news is that the watches using the movement will only requires 10-year servicing intervals. Watchmakers at the Swiss horology house based near Basel have created a movement that is highly efficient and highly anti-magnetic. Independent watchmaker Oris is introducing a new calibre, entirely created in-house – the Oris Calibre 400.
