Oris 17 Jewels Shock Proof Vintage-Style Wristwatch
This is a vintage-style Oris wristwatch featuring a tonneau-shaped stainless steel case and a distinctive dark blue dial. The textured dial displays silver-toned Roman numerals at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, with triangular baton markers for the remaining hours. Notable markings include the Oris logo, a red Swiss cross emblem at 12 o'clock, and the inscriptions '17 JEWELS SHOCK PROOF' and 'SWISS MADE.' The watch utilizes cathedral-style hands with white luminous filling and a slender white sweep second hand. The case shows visible signs of wear with fine scratches and minor pitting across the polished surfaces. The crystal appears relatively clear but may have light surface marks. It is mounted on a black faux-alligator leather strap with blue contrast stitching. While it bears the Oris name, several aesthetic inconsistencies—such as the specific font of the branding, the use of the Swiss cross emblem, and the hand style—are characteristic of 'HMT' or Indian-refurbished watches often seen in the secondary market, which typically use older mechanical movements fitted into aftermarket cases and dials. The overall craftsmanship suggests a practical, restored piece rather than a high-end luxury original.
