Oris Artix Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour

Following footsteps of the innovative Oris Artix Pointer Moon, Date launched in 2014, Swiss watch brand Oris now introduces the Artix Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour. Like its steel predecessor, the latest watch accurately displays the lunar cycle via a pointer hand.

The pointer hand has been an Oris signature since the company launched the Pointer Date in 1938; an iconic design that inspired the company’s revival after the Quartz Crisis. In late 1980s and 1990s, Oris pioneered useful, elegant modules with pointer-hand functions, such as the Pointer Calendar and the Pointer Day.

Inside the Artix Pointer Moon Bicolour is the Oris-developed automatic calibre 761, based on Sellita SW220. That gives it a central pointer hand that points to lunar cycle markings around the edge of the dial.

The hand moves every half-day to indicate the phase of the moon on any given day of the month. The watch also features a date function at 6 o’clock.

The multi-piece stainless steel case of the elegant Artix Pointer Moon, Date Bicolour is complemented by a solid 18-carat rose gold bezel, and follows the same slim line silhouette as last year’s model.

It also has a silver guilloché dial offset by applied rose gold-plated hands, numerals and indices. The hands and indices are filled with Super-LumiNova®.

The watch comes with either a brown calfskin leather strap with a crocodile pattern or a stainless steel bracelet.
