Greetings, and welcome to the world of Oris. Today I'll be your guide to the usage, care and maintenance of your Oris Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition. It's important to note that this is a automatic winding timepiece, despite its vintage profile. And it will automatically energize itself when worn on the wrist. But should you wish to manually wind the watch, simply take its crown in its first position flush to the case, and turn in a clockwise direction to energize the timepiece. 20 to 30 turns will be sufficient to start the movement.

Take note, the crown remains flush to the case at all times. Its vintage evocative form recapitulates the engineering of its vintage predecessor from 1917, such that the only actual setting of the watch is possible by depressing the pusher at two o'clock, and then manually advancing the hour and the minute hand. Therefore setting this watch is a two hand task. Should you wish to fully energize the watch by winding it to its maximum rated power reserve of 38 hours, simply continue turning the crown until you hear a light click or snick internally. That's the bridle style main spring slipping. You can not accidentally over wind the watch for this reason. It's designed to relieve any excess strain so simply continue turning until you hear a snick, a tick or a click internally. That's your sign that the watch is fully energized.

Now there are three areas of principle hazard to take into consideration during your ownership of this watch. Water, magnetism and shock, of which water is the gravest danger. Now the timepiece is water resistant to 50 meters, which ORIS rates as sufficient for exposure to rain and splashes while washing hands, but not for actual bathing or aquatic activity. Though the watch is water resistant, leather, a porous natural material, never is. Therefore ensure your watch is on a water resistant strap or band prior to exposure to moisture. Moreover you can help to avoid accidental drowning. Disuse the crown as well as the coupling pusher when there is water on the watch. Not simply when it's submerged but when there is any water on the watch. As attempting to use these functions with water on the case can bypass the seals and introduce water to its interior.

It's also important to remember that water resistance, unlike mechanical specifications of a timepiece, water resistance simply is not a static feature. Over time lubricants age, seals degrade, and water resistance will ebb compared to the original factory rating. Now if you have any reservations about the water resistance of your watch it's best to adhere to ORIS's guidance. Test annual at an authorized service center to ensure that factory rated hermeticity is retained.

Now magnetism is an unseen threat but one that can cause serious consequence to the accuracy of your timepiece, as the hairspring at the center of your watch's balance, underneath the case back, effectively its heartbeat, can be altered by magnetic fields and in a semi permanent fashion. Wallets, purses, refrigerator doors. All of these feature magnetic closures. Speakers, subwoofers and MRI equipment also produce significant magnetic flux densities. So keep the watch distant from all of these. Should you suspect due to erratic timekeeping, fast or slow, that your watch may have become magnetized, take it to an authorized ORIS service center, where specialized equipment is available to quickly and easily demagnetize your watch.

Shock and concussion however can cause more permanent damage. Avoid activities such as tennis, golf, batting, fire arms, marksmanship, ATV or mountain bike riding while wearing your watch as all of these are sufficiently violent, that they may cause damage. Just to be sure, keep the watch disused during these activities.

Finally, every fine mechanical timepiece requires periodic service, and ORIS recommends every three to five years having your watch serviced at an authorized factory or authorized dealer service center. Authorized service centers, whether the factory or authorized dealers, exclusively have the trained personnel, specialized factory replacement parts, tools and equipment, to maintain the value of your watch as both an instrument and as an investment. Moreover only these agencies can back any labor or parts invested with an ORIS original factory service warranty. It's also important to remember that a comprehensive service entirely refreshes your watch. Everything from replacement of a worn strap to a refinishing of the original case polish, restoration of water resistance and cleaning, oiling and adjusting of the movement is included in a complete service.
