you can see how the red rotor, the
hallmark of Oris watches, rotates
and winds the movement.
Manual winding movement.
A
On mechanical Oris watches with
manual winding, the barrel spring
is wound by hand. The power
reserve of a fully wound watch is
approximately 42 hours.
Release the screw-down crown
or QLC crown (if fitted) as per the
instructions in chapter 1.
Turn the crown clockwise in
position 1. It can also be turned
forwards and backwards.
Stop as soon as you encounter
resistance. The barrel spring is now
fully wound.
If more force is applied after
the spring is fully wound, there
is a risk of the end of the spring
breaking. In such cases, the
barrel needs to be replaced at
the watch owner’s expense.
Wind the watch once a day.
Lock the screw-down crown or
QLC crown (if fitted) as per the
instructions in chapter 1.
it clockwise until you encounter
resistance.
The watch is only water-resistant
to its specified depth if the pusher
has been screwed down.
pushers must never be operated
underwater.
Automatic winding
movement.
a
An Oris watch that has started
and is worn daily for about
12 hours, does not need manual
winding. Instead, arm movements
cause the red rotor to rotate,
thereby tightening the barrel
spring. Even if you take off your
watch at night, it continues to run.
It only stops working if it is not
worn for approx. 40 hours.
If an automatic winding watch
stops, it must be restarted as
follows:
Release the screw-down crown or
QLC crown (if fitted) as per the
instructions in chapter 1.
With the crown in position 1, rotate
it clockwise through 12 turns
(it can also be turned for wards
and backwards).
Carr y out the settings, as
described below.
Lock the screw-down crown or
QLC crown (if fitted) as per the
instructions in chapter 1.

r
The Quick Lock Crown (QLC)
developed by Oris is simpler to
release than the screw-down
crown because it has a bayonet
fastening instead of a thread.
Press the crown gently against the
case and turn it slightly anti-clock-
wise until the crown releases.
Now the crown is in position 1 and
can be operated as described in
the following chapters.
After the setting, the crown must
be relocked by pressing it against
the case and, at the same time
while turning it slightly clockwise
until it locks in position.
The watch is only water-resistant
to its specified depth if the crown
has been locked.
Screw-down pusher.
?
Some Oris models, especially
diving watches, have screw-down
pushers as well as screw-down
crowns.
Turn the crown which encloses
the pusher anti-clockwise until you
encounter resistance.
Now the pusher can be operated,
as described in the following
chapters.
After the setting, press the crown
gently against the case and turn
Crown positions.
The positions described below
are valid in most cases. Any

the relevant type of movement.

None of the following operations
must be performed in water.
Starting Oris watches.
Standard crown.
Oris standard crowns are high-
precision components. They are
equipped with seals to prevent
any water penetration. About half
of Oris watches are equipped with
this kind of standard crown.
The crown is in position 1 and
can be operated immediately, as
described in the following chapters.
Screw-down crown.
B
A few Oris watches, especially
the divers’ watches, are equipped
with a screw-down crown. Before
you can operate a crown of this
kind, it must first be unscrewed.
Turn the crown anti-clockwise until
it is released from its thread.
Now the crown is in position 1 and
can be operated as described in
the following chapters.
After the setting, the crown must
be tightened back down by
pressing it against the case while
turning it clockwise.
Check from time to time to ensure
that the crown is properly screwed
down.
The watch is only water-resistant
to its specified depth if the crown
has been screwed down.
