Dear Friends,


With autumn approaching, a time when the dense forests of the Waldenburg Valley that surrounds the Oris factory in Hölstein begin to reveal their autumn hues, we’re delighted to return to our long-time collaboration with the Swiss leather company Cervo Volante through this new burgundy-colored Oris x Cervo Volante Big Crown Pointer Date model.


Founded in 2017 by two female entrepreneurs with backgrounds in biotech and wildlife management, Cervo Volante creates stylish footwear and accessories using sustainable deer leather, sourced in the Swiss mountains.

Every year, the Swiss authorities work carefully to manage the country’s deer population. Rather than see the skins this process generates discarded, Cervo Volante upcycles them into beautiful, sustainable products. The leather is naturally treated in one of Switzerland’s last remaining vegetable tanneries, and natural imperfections are left untouched.


It’s a story with deep roots. Which is why this special edition piece is based on the Big Crown Pointer Date, our icon. It’s been a constant in our collection since 1938, now realized as a 40 mm stainless steel piece powered by an automatic Sellita-based Red Rotor movement – and set on a strap made from Cervo Volante’s sustainable deer leather.


As ever, the Big Crown Pointer Date is defined by its fluted bezel, its oversized crown and its signature pointer date hand. In these deep burgundy hues, it’s an autumnal delight.

The new Oris x Cervo Volante Burgundy is sized at 40mm and comes fitted to a deep brown Cervo Volante sustainable deer leather strap.


The watch is available now. Pricing is $2,600 USD.
