New Release: Oris Hank Aaron Limited-Edition Watch + 22 Modern Watches That Feel Vintage

[roadwarrior]

As a brand, Oris is hardly a stranger to limited-edition watches, and in addition to its already incredibly diverse standard-production catalog, Oris also frequently creates exclusive variations of its fan-favorite models. While the Hölstein-based brand’s limited edition pieces have been dedicated to everything from bodies of water to environmental initiatives, its latest new release for 2023 is the Oris Hank Aaron Limited Edition, which is a fresh take on its classic Big Crown Pointer Date watch that honors the life of baseball legend and humanitarian Hank Aaron.

INNOVATIONS​

Introducing the Hank Aaron Limited Edition​

What a joy to introduce the Hank Aaron Limited Edition, named after the great humanitarian and baseball Hall-of-Famer Hank Aaron. Aaron never courted the limelight, but his achievements on and off the field meant it always found him. In 1974, he broke Babe Ruth’s near-40-year home-run record. Despite his successes and the adulation that followed, Hank was always known for his grace and humility.

His finest hours​

The watch is based on the Big Crown Pointer Date. We’ve detailed it with blue, red and white to echo the uniform of Hank Aaron, and finished it with a blue leather strap with baseball-glove stitching. It also comes with a blue, red and white NATO strap. We’re making 2,297 examples – one for each of Hank’s RBIs (runs batted in), still a Major League Baseball record. The watch supports the work of the Chasing the Dream Foundation.

The Nautical Cricket Returns, & Oris Hits The Ballpark | A Week In Watches​

Worn & Wound
Jul 30, 2023

We’re back with a fresh episode of A Week In Watches, covering news from Norqain, Oris, Vulcain, and of course, Linde Werdelin. Additionally, it wouldn’t be a new week without a new collaboration to discuss, and this time it comes courtesy of our friends at Massena LAB and Revolution Magazine in the form of a new, mostly original take on the Uni-Racer Chronograph. Elsewhere, Oris returns to the baseball field to honor the great Milwaukee (okay, and Atlanta) Brave, Hank Aaron with a new colorway of their Big Crown Pointer Date. Another unique configuration of an existing watch released this week is a new Octo Moonphase from Linde Werdelin, who still have a knack for killer case architecture and open dial work.

Oris Hank Aaron Limited Edition Big Crown Pointer Date Release​

Our beloved friend checks out the tribute Big Crown Oris for one of MLB’s greatest player

Gnomon Viewpoint

July 25th to the 30th is the Atlanta Braves’ “Hank Aaron Week”, an annual celebration of Henry Louis Aaron, one of America’s greatest baseball players. I was there, at Truist Park, on July 28th, for the game and celebration of Hank Aaron’s life and legacy. The Braves played the Milwaukee Brewers, another MLB team Aaron played for. It was a great game, with the Braves winning 10 to 7, pulling ahead in the second half.

I was there on behalf of Oris. The brand is known for its excellent collaborations with environmental and humanitarian organizations, and its press events are equally impressive. There was no champagne or hors d’oeuvre — that’s not Oris’ style. No, we were given a tour of the Atlanta Braves stadium, Truist Park, followed by a heartwarming press conference in a room off of one of the stadium’s tunnels. Revealed to us was a story about an incredible baseball player, humanitarian, and determined man: Henry Louis Aaron. Also revealed to us was a watch that honors Hank Aaron and his work, both on and off the field.
