We also introduced a new wheel design into the gear train that delivers far greater efficiency.
“We focused on reducing torque in the mainspring – where power is stored – to help conserve power and put less pressure on moving parts. ‘The solution was to develop a highly efficient movement that would be much more resistant to wear and tear,” says Beat Fischli, Oris’s Chief Operating Officer, the guiding force behind the new movement. Third, a 10-year warranty and 10-year recommended service intervals takes away the worry of annoying upkeep. Second, high anti-magnetism levels keep the watch moving while being inundated with the effects of the world around us. The appeal of being able to take off your watch, leave it, and pick it up days later without fuss is a very attractive proposal. Five days (120 hours) without having to wind your watch means long life practicality, right off the bat. The first item of note for the Oris Calibre 400 is that it offers a robust five-day power reserve. It provides Oris with additional freedom, especially on their own terms. It also opens a new window to create slimmer cases and more design possibilities. Developed over five years, the caliber not only offers much-improved watch functionality, but it comes in at a fantastic price point for a watch of this stature. Especially when the movement, the Calibre 400, solves many of today’s watches consumers’ needs. For Oris, the release of a new movement is a very big deal. It requires time, resources, and deep pockets.
Producing and manufacturing a new movement is often the work of a much larger brand.
