Vintage Oris Manual Wind Swiss Watch Black Military Style Dial 32mm Cushion Case

A compact vintage Oris with striking military-inspired character, distinguished by its black dial, contrasting white Arabic numerals and mustard-yellow inner 13–24 scale. The angular cushion case frames this graphic display beautifully, combining practical legibility with the distinctive styling of late mid-century Swiss watchmaking.

Dating approximately to the 1960s–early 1970s, this Swiss-made example houses an Oris-signed, 17-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement. Its modest 32mm width offers an understated vintage fit, while the broad case shoulders give it a stronger presence than its dimensions suggest.

Founded in Hölstein, Switzerland, in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian, Oris built its identity around mechanical watchmaking. This piece brings that heritage into a particularly characterful combination of an angular case, contrasting dial typography and traditional manual winding.

Details:

• Swiss-made Oris, approximately 1960s–early 1970s

• Hand-wound mechanical movement, 17 jewels

• Case approximately 32mm wide and 38mm lug to lug

• Silver-tone case with stainless-steel back

• Black dial with white Arabic numerals and yellow 13–24 reference scale

The watch works well for a vintage timepiece. The case shows scratches, surface wear and areas of finish loss, particularly around the underside and lugs. Light crystal marks and age-related wear to the hands and dial are visible in the photographs.

A distinctive choice for anyone drawn to smaller mechanical watches, bold dial contrasts and the tactile pleasure of a manually wound Swiss timepiece.
