Vintage Oris Ladies Watch 17 Jewels Manual Wind 25mm Red Gold Dial Swiss 1960s

Vintage Oris Ladies Watch, 17 Jewels, Manual Wind, 25mm Gold-Tone Case, Red and Gold Dial, 1960s

A petite Oris with an unusually colourful dial: a red centre inside a metallic gold hour ring, outlined Arabic numerals at the quarters and triangular markers between, with gold-tone hands and a slender centre seconds hand. The dial is signed “Oris”, “17 Jewels” and “Swiss Made”.

Brand heritage

Oris was founded in Hölstein, Switzerland, in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian and named after a nearby brook. By the 1960s it was among the largest watch companies in the world, making almost everything in-house. Today Oris is one of the few independent Swiss brands and produces only mechanical watches.

Model history

In the 1960s Oris built a wide range of small hand-wound watches for women alongside its better-known men’s models, often with more adventurous dial colours than its competitors. This 25mm example with centre seconds and a two-tone red and gold dial is typical of that period.
