The idea to produce a calibre like this one, however, was conceived years before, to create a highly accurate movement that would serve the everyday watch collector. The Oris Calibre 400 was first thought of almost five years ago. This is no different with the Calibre 400. Oris’s movement creation philosophy has been to scrutinise every minute detail possible, in order to be able to deliver the highest quality product at the best possible price. The Calibre 400 is an entirely new movement, which has been independently conceived by Oris. The Oris 400 Calibre, sets the new standard for automatic movements at affordable prices.

With Oris’s latest masterpiece, the Calibre 400, these questions have been answered. “How can we do it better? And for more people? How can we produce the best possible watch for the best possible price?” Oris has been tackling these problems for generations, ever since the company was founded back in 1904. Oris has been asking themselves the right questions however, in the lead up to developing this exceptional in-house calibre. Most calibre’s that tick these boxes don’t fall into the category of being affordable to the everyday citizen. Most calibres, however, you would have to pay quite a lot of money to get the most out of the movement (extended power reserve, movement capabilities, reliability and warranty). The modern mechanical watch movement these days can offer quite a variety of uses.
