WATCHES: ORIS BIG CROWN POINTER DATE



Purchased this locally via ebay. It's an automatic with a rose gold coin bezel, silver guilloche dial with rose gold numerals and pointer date complication. Has luminous hands and dots below the numbers



I gave this to my Dad and it has proven itself to be waterproof. It was on my Dad's wrist when he had to abandon their home and swim across to the next door neighbor's second floor during typhoon Ondoy. Water was neck deep inside their home and sadly, this was one of the few things my folks were able to salvage. Dad was traumatized by the whole thing and initially didn't want to see the watch as it reminded him of his ordeal. Fortunately their lives are close to being back to normal and he now wears this to remind him to count his blessings, no matter how few they may seem to be.
