Old Oris with a moon thing

This watch does not appear to have a moon phase complication. Are you talking about the pointer date?

That's why I was frustrated 🤣

Now I don’t even know what to think. 👀

Wear it in good health!

I was very young at the time, haven't seen this for a few decades. I'll find out exactly what ref it is and what it actually does. One thing for sure, I think I dropped it last time I wore it and it's not working now. Probably not worth fixing but it is a sentimental thing 👍🏾

Looks like small seconds and a pointer date. Shouldn’t be too hard to set and keep up with. If it’s entirely broken that’s a different story, of course.

Interesting that the date runs anticlockwise.

Oris Pointer Date Vintage - Automatic Men's Watch Ref. 7476 37mm.

I did a bit of Google image recognition, I think this is the reference. See if I can find a booklet online

It's probably a standard movement so just about any watchmaker should be able to service/find parts for it. You should definitely bring it back to life.

That is a fantastic watch, never seen anything like it. Knowing Oris it is probably a pointer date, counterclockwise is so neat!

Ayyyy, yayyyy - yayyyy. 😜 Now, go get it serviced and give your wife a kiss!

Yeah that's a terrible moonphase, but an excellent date pointer!😂

That's disgusting 🤣

Where is the moon phase complication? I see what looks like a power reserve and a pointer date function .

Defo not a power reserve, it's a seconds' dial 👍🏾

Does it have an exhibition case back? Thirty years plus, does it have a red rotor? Such a distinct quality of Oris. Definitely should get it serviced, such a cool watch.

It does and I think it'll cost around £350 to be serviced, I'd like to put that towards a Baltic Prism or my grail; a Grand Seiko or Pierce 007's Omega. But I really should and honour my wife 👍🏾😎

So the “moon thing” is a date indicator which seems to run counterclockwise.

It’s a very cool watch, I’d definitely get it serviced, not just because it’s a cool watch but because watches with meaning (like this one - as a gift from your wife) are pricelessly valuable.

Any other watch you buy with that money now will just be a watch you bought.

It’s a pointer date. It’s a different way of displaying the date, rather than the typical date wheel.

Pointer date and subsidiary seconds

I would repair it. For the sentimental value of course, but personally I’d repair the watch regardless.

Oris’ red rotor is so cool

I guess that was, literally, a moon phase complication. 😅

It’s certainly worth repairing!

Definitely repair it, it’s a great historic watch. Never seen this reference before with those hands and the counterclockwise pointer date, I think it’s a fairly rare sight.

Your right. I said power reserve but meant small seconds.

Wow, that is a great watch! Definitely worth repairing and servicing!

Gorgeous piece 😍

What about the Oris? 🤣

This #oris is truly interesting, I've never seen this model before.
