ORIS cal 453 Vintage Manual Winding Date Pointer Watch

FOR SALE: $275 USD REDUCED.

An interesting and unusual little Oris date pointer cal 453 from 50’s. An earlier vintage version of the popular Oris date pointer watch. I have owned it since January 2021 and never wore it other than to photograph it.

Case: Stainless steel, with steel caseback reading “ORIS Waterproof Antimagnetic, Stainless Steel Back”. Lugs are rounded not sure if this is the actual case style, looks like it had some polishing somewhere along the way. Drilled lugs 16 mm lug width.

Measurements case : 31 mm excluding crown, 10 mm thick

Crown: Bowler style, works well. May be service replacement not sure.

Dial: Original black dial in good condition, with some wear and paint loss on periphery of date numerals as seen on photos. Lume plots on hour indices have darkened with age. Arabic gold 12, 3, 9 markers.

Hands: Gold hour, minute, date pointer and subdial hands I think original, hour and minute hands are “skeletonized”, probably lost lume somewhere along the way. Quite attractive in current condition.

Crystal: Acrylic no significant scratches, looks polished, unsure if original
