Old school today. I really like the raised pips and the numerals font on this dial.

Cal 360 extra-plat, c.1949, French case. Luvverly.
Not wearing this today…was my dad’s. Dennison cased, bumper inside dating to early 50’s and I have not seen this dial variant very often if at all…

My Dad used to call me "Oris" I'm not sure if it was just a general UK greeting, or maybe a reference of some sort to this ???

You'll likely find it's short for Horace, often used as a term of endearment for younger male family members or junior male staff members.

In common usage when I was younger and I imagine still in the English speaking vernacular today.

I presume derived from the Latin poet but like many English slangs mixed with another common word 😀

Thank you. That's very likely as it fits the context in which it was used. Cheers
