If you see this red symbol, you can be sure that the watch is genuine. The watches have been wanted to be designed with a distinctive style merged with innovative features. The company needs to be Swiss. The Swiss-made brand is a guarantee of quality and it is determined by their own laws.

The birth and growth of Oris watches
The company was founded in Hölstein, Switzerland in 1904 by Georges Christian and Paul Cattin. The growth speed of the company was fast and already in 1911 it was the biggest employer in Hölstein with over 300 employees. From 1911-1925 the company grew fast and continued opening new factories. In 1925 the first Oris watch saw daylight. Two years later news of grief encountered the company, as the company's founder George Christian died. A year later Christian’s brother-in-law Oscar Herzog was nominated as General Manager where he acted successfully for the following 43 years. In 1938-1940 the company presented the first alarm clock and a watch for pilots. In 1945 the company's hard work got rewarded and Oris watches were awarded for their accuracy. The company continued growing decade after decade and they presented an 8-day watch, a top-class diving watch, the first Oris automatic watch, and the first Oris chronograph. In the 1960s the company employed over 800 employees and produced over 1.2 million watches a year. The company manufactured its tools and machines and at the same educated over 40 engineers and watch smiths every year to guarantee qualified workers.
