Elegant, understated, and technically more interesting than many watches of its class, this Oris Super from the 1970s is a strong example of why selected vintage Oris models deserve serious attention. With its glossy black dial, warm gold-plated case, and sharp faceted markers, it has the classic dress-watch appeal of the period, while the in-house Oris 482KIF movement offers the kind of proper jewelled Swiss lever construction that makes it a practical vintage watch for regular use. The watch is in excellent vintage condition. The gold-plated case presents very well, with only light signs of age consistent with careful use. The glossy black dial is especially attractive, with a rich deep tone, clean printing, and elegant gold cutout indices. The movement is in very good mechanical condition, having been serviced in our workshop and tested for dependable performance. Specifications Brand: Oris Year: 1970s Movement: Oris in-house calibre 482KIF, 17 jewels, manual wind Escapement: Jewelled Swiss lever escapement with ruby pallet jewels Shock protection: KIF antishock system Case: 10-micron gold plating Caseback: Stainless steel Dial: Gloss black Indices: Gold cutout indices Hands: Gold-tone hands with luminous infill Crystal: Acrylic Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds Strap: High quality genuine leather strap with stitching About This Oris Super Vintage Oris watches are desirable not only because of the brand’s long-standing reputation, but also because of the company’s use of in-house movements. At the same time, many vintage Oris calibres used pin-lever escapements, which are generally less refined and less satisfactory in practical use than a proper Swiss lever movement. That is exactly why this example stands out. Powered by the Oris 482KIF, it belongs to the rarer and more collectible group of vintage Oris watches fitted with a fully jewelled Swiss lever escapement. Combined with the KIF antishock system and recent servicing in our workshop, it offers a notably better ownership experience than the average period Oris.
