9 We congratulate you on the purchase of your new Oris watch and extend a warm welcome to the ranks of mechanical watch devotees. You see, Oris’ world is all about mechanics, and nothing but mechanics. Your Oris watch sets itself firmly apart from mass market and fashion products, and instead embodies the true values of the Swiss art of watchmaking, with its fascinating micro-mechanical internal components and its stylishly seamless exterior.
11 Standard crown. The positions described below are valid in most cases. Any deviations will be mentioned for the relevant type of movement. Oris standard crowns are highprecision components. They are equipped with seals to prevent any water penetration. About half of Oris watches are equipped with this kind of standard crown. 0 Crown positions. | 2 0 Pos.

Turn crown B clockwise to position 1 and, if necessary, tighten alarm movement (e.g. if used several times a day, or if the watch is being restarted) by turning the crown 12 times. In normal use of an automatic winding alarm, the movement and alarm springs are constantly wound.
Watches with a helium valve are intended for divers who spend extended periods on board a diving bell, or in any other chamber with a helium-enriched atmosphere. The inert gas helium has one of the smallest molecules, meaning that it can penetrate the seals on watches and enter the case. Once inside the case, this gas is unable to escape rapidly enough unless a special valve is fitted, i.e. the helium valve.

Watches with leather straps. Fasten the buckle around the wrist over a table, ensuring that the watch cannot fall to the ground if the process goes wrong. Straps with a folding clasp are easier to work with and offer greater security against theft.
Accuracy. Mechanical watches measure time accurately and reliably. However, in circumstances where optimum accuracy timekeeping is required at all times, the mechanical watch is not the best instrument for the job. Time is important to the wearer of a mechanical watch, but accuracy to the nearest second is not something the wearer is likely to lose sleep about.
25 Water-resistance. Oris tests all its watches to ensure that they comply with the specified figure for waterresistance. All Oris watches are water-resistant to at least 3 bar or 30 metres. The actual figure on individual models is either shown on the case back and/or on the dial. Oris watches designated with less than 10 bar or 100 m (328 ft.) water-resistance must not be worn in the water (see graph below). Oris watches designated as 10 bar (100 m) or more can be worn in water.

31 Time zones. The times in the various time zones are based on UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). UTC has taken over the function formerly performed by Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). UTC and GMT are both based on longitude zero which runs through Greenwich near London. In most cases, the times in other zones are calculated by adding or subtracting whole hours, depending on their respective distances from the zero meridian. In a few countries, e.g.
