History of Oris Divers watches

In 1904, Paul Cattin and Georges Christian bought the defunct Lohner \u0026 Co. watch factory in Hölstein, Switzerland and renamed it Oris. In just over two decades, watchmaking has expanded so rapidly. 1925 was the same year that Oris began manufacturing wristwatches by fitting bracelet buckles to pocket watches.

Oscar Herzog took over the company in 1928 after his brother-in-law and founder of his, Georges Christian, passed away the previous year. Herzog remained CEO of Oris for the next 43 years.

1938 saw the birth of the first Oris pilot's watch, fusing two design elements that would later become hallmarks of the brand: an oversized winding crown and a calendar indicator.

When World War II broke out in Europe in 1939, Oris's business declined significantly. Therefore, to stay afloat, the company began manufacturing alarm clocks in 1940. In the post-war period of 1949, Oris introduced a revolutionary alarm clock with an eight-day power reserve. Oris History Divers Sixty-Five 65 Silver Dial Watches
