ORIS Artelier Complication Calibre 782 Automatic 39.5mm Watch

Détails du produit

We’re delighted to introduce the
new Artelier Complication, the
flagship model in the new Artelier
collection, an Oris classic that
returns with a dynamic new profile.
It’s been designed by Lena
Huwiler, Oris’s new Product Design
Engineer (see page 6), who at
24-years-old has brought fresh
sensitivity to a much-loved watch.
The major update is in the
complication and how it’s presented.
This begins with the new Calibre 782
automatic. It has the same base
architecture as its precursor, Calibre
781, only without the gearing that
served two further dial indications on
previous models. The new watch
therefore has only two sub-counters,
a moon phase at 12 o’clock and a
second 24-hour time zone at 6 o’clock.

This delivers two immediate
benefits. First, it declutters the dial
while retaining all the essential
information. And second, it means
adjustment can be managed through
the crown and a single pusher
integrated into the right case flank.
The dial is available in three
colours: ivory, midnight blue and
chestnut. Each has three zones: a
textured centre, a smooth, gently
curved outer rim, and those two subcounters to display the watch’s
signature complications. On the
chestnut version, these counters are
a darker colour, further enhancing
legibility. The silvered moon sits on a
starry background that matches that
of the moon phase’s curved aperture
cover (the shape enables the
indication of a waxing and waning
moon), a decision taken to reduce
the visual impact of the cover’s
baroque form. The dial is covered by
an elegantly domed sapphire crystal.
Further details add to the modernist
feel. It has tapered and stepped hour
markers and square-tipped hour
and minute hands, and there’s a
new sans serif typeface for the words “Artelier” and “Swiss Made”.
