A Watch Inspired By A Baseball Legend: The Oris Lou Gehrig Big Crown Pointer Date

MRSTATELESS ORIS 2026, Limited Edition, Lou Gehrig, Pointer Date 0

Swiss watchmaker Oris has unveiled the Big Crown Pointer Date Lou Gehrig Limited Edition, a special release created in partnership with the Lou and Eleanor Gehrig Family Foundation. The watch celebrates one of baseball’s most iconic figures while supporting the foundation’s ongoing charitable work.

Based on Oris’ signature Big Crown Pointer Date platform, the limited edition combines the collection’s distinctive design language with details inspired by Lou Gehrig’s legendary career with the New York Yankees.

A Design Inspired by Baseball History

The watch comes housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case measuring 12.20 mm thick with a 48.20 mm lug-to-lug distance, offering versatile proportions suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. The polished and brushed surfaces highlight the classic character of the Big Crown Pointer Date, one of Oris’ most recognizable collections.

Its silver-colored dial serves as the foundation for several baseball-inspired details. A black peripheral dat

Additional blue accents can be found on the minute track and around the applied hour markers, reflecting the colors closely associated with the New York Yankees. The dial combines Arabic numerals with baton-style hour markers, creating a sporty yet balanced appearance. Central hands with luminous treatment ensure readability in low-light conditions.

Powered by the Oris Calibre 754

Inside the watch is the Oris Calibre 754 automatic movement. Based on the Sellita SW200-1 architecture, the movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides approximately 41 hours of power reserve.

The calibre powers the collection’s signature pointer date complication, with a dedicated central hand indicating the current date along the outer scale of the dial. This feature has been a defining characteristic of the Big Crown Pointer Date since its introduction in 1938.

Two Straps Included

Oris delivers the watch with two distinct strap options. The first is a NATO-style strap featuring colors inspired by the New York Yankees, reinforcing the connection to the baseball team.

The second option is a brown leather strap with contrasting stitching, designed to evoke the appearance of a traditional baseball glove. Together, the two straps offer owners the flexibility to switch between a sportier or more classic look.

Limited to 2,130 Pieces

The Big Crown Pointer Date Lou Gehrig Limited Edition is produced in a run of 2,130 individually numbered watches. The number commemorates Gehrig’s remarkable streak of 2,130 consecutive Major League Baseball games played, a record that stood for decades and remains one of the sport’s most celebrated achievements.

Further emphasizing the tribute, the stainless steel caseback features an engraved portrait of Lou Gehrig alongside the individual limited-edition number of each watch.

Availability and Price

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Lou Gehrig Limited Edition is priced at € 2,400. In addition to commemorating one of baseball’s most enduring legends, the release contributes to the mission of the Lou and Eleanor Gehrig Family Foundation, continuing Oris’ tradition of supporting meaningful causes through special-edition timepieces.

Alpina Explores New Case Finishing With The Label Noir Alpiner

MRSTATELESS ALPINA, NEW RELEASES 2026, Label Noir, Limited Edition, Pointer Date 0

Alpina expands the Alpiner collection with a distinctive limited edition created in collaboration with Geneva-based customization studio Label Noir. Known for its experimental surface treatments and contemporary reinterpretations of traditional watchmaking, Label Noir brings a new visual identity to the Alpiner Manufacture Date while staying within Alpina’s alpine-inspired design language.

The result is a watch that combines a textured white dial, a uniquely finished stainless steel case, and the return of a manufacture movement to Alpina’s lineup. Limited to 130 pieces, the Alpina x Label Noir Alpiner Manufacture Date Special Edition stands apart from the brand’s more conventional tool-watch aesthetic.

Case and Exterior

The watch features a round stainless steel case measuring 41.50 mm in diameter and 13 mm in thickness, adopting a cleaner and more classical profile. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, positioning the watch as an everyday sports watch rather than a dedicated instrument.

What defines the case visually is its hammered finish, applied to the bezel and lugs. This surface treatment creates an irregular texture designed to evoke alpine rock formations dusted with snow. The finish subtly catches the light and contrasts with the otherwise restrained geometry of the case. A glassbox sapphire crystal protects the dial, adding depth and a vintage-inspired profile.

The caseback is fitted with a sapphire window, allowing a view of the movement inside.

Dial Design

The dial is finished in matte white with a fine, irregular grain, reinforcing the winter and mountain theme of the collaboration. The texture avoids a flat appearance and gives the dial visual depth without relying on color contrast.

Around the edge of the dial is a railway-style minute track, punctuated by discreet grey markers at five-minute intervals and rectangular markers at the quarter hours. The white-lacquered hour and minute hands are filled with blue-emitting Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions.

At 6 o’clock, Alpina integrates its signature pointer date display, indicated by a central white hand with an openworked triangular counterweight. The date numerals sit on a peripheral track, with the number 31 highlighted in grey lacquer, a design cue traditionally associated with Alpina manufacture movements offering extended power reserves.

Movement

Powering the watch is the Alpina Calibre AL-706, an automatic manufacture movement developed by Alpina’s sister company, Frederique Constant. The movement is built around a large mainspring barrel, delivering a 72-hour power reserve, currently the longest available in Alpina’s catalog.

The AL-706 operates at 4Hz and includes a pointer date complication integrated into the movement architecture rather than added as a module. Finishing details are visible through the transparent caseback, reinforcing the manufacture status of the caliber.

Strap and Availability

The watch is paired with a white technical nylon strap featuring a subtle satin sheen. It is secured with a folding clasp, balancing sportiness with everyday comfort and durability.

The Alpina x Label Noir Alpiner Manufacture Date Special Edition is limited to 130 pieces worldwide and is priced at € 3,695. With its combination of unconventional case finishing, a textured monochrome dial, and an in-house movement, the collaboration offers a distinctive interpretation of Alpina’s modern Alpiner design.

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date “Bullseye” Returns To The Collection

MRSTATELESS ORIS 2026, Pointer Date 0

Oris relaunches the Big Crown Pointer Date “Bullseye,” a historically inspired model that brings back a distinctive two-tone dial design not seen in the brand’s catalog for nearly 30 years. Unlike previous appearances of this dial style, the new “Bullseye” is not a limited edition and will remain part of Oris’ regular lineup.

The Big Crown Pointer Date has been a cornerstone of the Oris portfolio since its introduction in 1938. While the collection has evolved over the years with new materials, colors, and movements, the core elements—such as the oversized crown, pointer date display, and fluted bezel—have remained consistent. The “Bullseye” version reinforces this heritage-driven approach.

A Historically Inspired Dial Design

The defining feature of the Big Crown Pointer Date “Bullseye” is its black-and-white two-tone dial. This concentric layout traces its roots back to early Oris wristwatches from the 1910s and saw broader popularity during the mid-20th century. Oris last used this style in the late 1990s, making its return a notable addition to the modern collection.

The dial is structured around a bold black central section that houses large Arabic numerals for the hours. Surrounding this is a lighter outer ring featuring a printed minute and seconds track, followed by a red date scale positioned at the very edge of the dial. The pointer date is indicated by a centrally mounted hand with a red crescent-shaped tip, offering immediate legibility and visual contrast.

Lume-filled cathedral-style hands display the hours and minutes, maintaining the traditional pilot-watch aesthetic associated with the Big Crown line. A slim central seconds hand completes the display without detracting from the dial’s layered layout.

Stainless Steel Case and Proportions

The watch is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 38 mm in diameter, with a lug-to-lug length of 45.50 mm and a total thickness of 12.20 mm, including the crystal. These dimensions place it firmly in the category of versatile everyday watches, suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes.

A signature fluted coin-edge bezel sits atop the case, paired with a double-domed sapphire crystal. Water resistance is rated at 50 meters, aligning with the watch’s vintage-inspired, daily-wear positioning rather than a tool-watch focus. The oversized crown, a defining characteristic of the Big Crown family, remains a prominent functional and visual element.

Oris Caliber 754

Powering the Big Crown Pointer Date “Bullseye” is the Oris caliber 754, an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1. The movement has been adapted to support the pointer date complication and is fitted with Oris’ recognizable red rotor, visible through the sapphire caseback.

The caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), contains 26 jewels, and provides a power reserve of approximately 41 hours. Known for its reliability and ease of servicing, this movement choice supports Oris’ strategy of offering mechanical watches that balance performance, longevity, and accessibility.

Strap and Wearability

The watch is delivered on a black Cervo Volante leather strap made from sustainably sourced deer leather. The strap is fitted with quick-release spring bars, allowing for easy strap changes without tools. As with other Big Crown Pointer Date models, the 38 mm case and classic lug design make it compatible with a wide variety of leather, fabric, and NATO straps.

Availability and Price

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date “Bullseye” is available now as part of the brand’s permanent collection. The retail price is set at € 2,250.

With its historically grounded dial design, familiar case proportions, and proven mechanical movement, the Big Crown Pointer Date “Bullseye” reinforces Oris’ long-standing commitment to heritage-inspired watchmaking within a modern production framework.

Oris And Cervo Volante Team Up Again, Now Unveiling An Orange Dial

MRSTATELESS NEW RELEASES, ORIS 2025, Cervo Volante, Pointer Date 0

Oris continues its journey toward sustainability with the second edition of its collaboration with Cervo Volante, a Swiss company renowned for transforming sustainably sourced deer hides into premium leather goods. This partnership once again underscores Oris’s dedication to environmentally responsible craftsmanship, extending beyond watchmaking to meaningful collaborations that celebrate Swiss heritage and ecological awareness.

Sustainable Craftsmanship

At the heart of this collaboration lies the Cervo Volante leather strap, crafted from deer hides that are by-products of population control programs mandated by Swiss environmental authorities. Instead of letting this natural material go to waste, Cervo Volante uses traditional vegetable-tanning techniques to create durable, high-quality leather.

The result is a deep mahogany-brown strap that exudes warmth and character. Each watch also comes with a matching leather travel pouch, made from the same material — a thoughtful touch that ties the collaboration together.

The Big Crown Pointer Date

This limited edition is based on the classic Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, housed in a 40 mm stainless steel case. Its gradient burnt maple dial captures rich autumnal tones, while the forest green-tipped pointer-date hand adds a refreshing touch of color inspired by nature. The fluted bezel and cathedral-style hands retain the collection’s signature vintage charm, bridging the brand’s heritage with a modern, sustainable identity.

Reliable Mechanical Performance

Inside, the watch is powered by the Oris Calibre 754, an automatic movement derived from the Sellita SW200-1. It provides a 38-hour power reserve, supports the central pointer-date function, and ensures water resistance up to 50 meters. Designed for everyday wear, the watch blends reliability with timeless elegance.

Price and Availability

The Oris x Cervo Volante Big Crown Pointer Date is priced at $2,600 USD and is available now through Oris boutiques and authorized retailers.

A Watch with a Purpose

More than just a beautifully executed timepiece, this edition represents Oris’s ongoing commitment to sustainability — transforming ethical sourcing and mindful design into a tangible expression of craftsmanship. The collaboration with Cervo Volante brings together the best of Swiss tradition, environmental responsibility, and natural aesthetics, creating a watch that looks good and does good.

Farer Field Collection 2.0: Improved Design Meets Rugged Functionality

MRSTATELESS FARER, NEW RELEASES 2024, Field Watch, Pointer Date 0

Farer’s second generation of the Field collection introduces significant design improvements, starting with the stainless steel case. Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 11.70 mm in thickness, the new case is more refined, maintaining the previous 45 mm length for balanced proportions. The predominantly brushed finish stays true to its field watch heritage, but the case now features a narrower bezel with a polished ring that increases dial space. A key upgrade is the larger crown, which enhances grip and control. The crown retains the brand’s signature bronze cap set with the Farer logo, adding a unique touch of distinction.

The new dials come in three distinct colour options: dark blue, olive green, and sand, each offering a different combination of hour markers. The dark blue variant displays Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9, with baton markers filling the other positions and an inverted triangle at noon. The green version features full Arabic numerals across the dial, while the sand dial opts for a mix of Arabic numerals and dashes at 3, 6, and 9. The familiar inverted triangle remains at the top of the dial on all models.

Across all variations, the dial layout maintains some consistent elements. The hour and minute hands are filled with luminescent material, as are the hour markers, ensuring easy readability in low-light conditions. The central lollipop-style second hand adds character to the watch, while the date pointer, topped with a brand-shaped logo tip, works alongside a rehaut marked with 31 days. To enhance legibility, the final five days of the month are highlighted in a bolder colour, offering a functional and visually appealing date feature.

The internal mechanics are driven by the 26-jewel Sellita SW221 automatic movement, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and delivering a power reserve of up to 41 hours. This movement ensures both precision and durability, key characteristics of a dependable field watch. Additionally, the case offers 150 meters of water resistance, making it well-suited for outdoor activities and more rugged conditions.

Farer pairs each watch with a 20mm 3-link stainless steel bracelet, complete with a folding clasp and toolless micro-adjustments for added comfort. A supplementary fabric strap is also included for those seeking a more casual look. Priced at € 1,295, the second-generation Field collection delivers improved design, reliable performance, and versatility, catering to both field watch enthusiasts and those looking for an everyday timepiece.
