The history at Oris goes deep. Even deeper than they initially realized. Recent research revealed that Oris made their first pilots watch in 1917, more than two decades earlier than they previously believed, and the Big Crown 1917 Limited Edition pays homage to this significant find. The timepiece itself is a throwback in many ways, featuring the same onion-shaped big crown, 20th-century Arabic numerals, blued steel hands, domed glass, and vintage Oris logo. And there are plenty of modern touches as well, including a polished stainless steel case and pin buckle, bubble-curved glass made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and Arabic numerals and hands finished with luminescent Super-LumiNova. Limited to 1,917 pieces.

Presented by FoundersCard. Omega and Orbis International have been partnered for years, working to bring high-level eye care to regions where it might not be available. To celebrate World Sight Day, they've teamed up to release the Omega x Orbis Speedmaster Chronograph Watch. One look at the sun-brushed blue dial makes its heritage apparent, as the second hand's counterweight is rendered as an Orbis teddy bear. It's complemented by three light blue, eye-shaped oval subdials and a vertical oval opening for the date window at 6 o'clock. Powered by an Omega Co-Axial Calibre 3330 movement, it has a 38mm stainless steel case, blue aluminum bezel with tachymeter scale, and is finished with a matching stainless link bracelet.
Taking a cue from car dealerships, Bamford last year introduced a "Service Watch" that was lent out to clients while their timepiece was in for maintenance. People loved it and wanted to purchase one for themselves. The Bamford Mayfair Watch is the result. It's highly customizable, with a 40mm case in matte black or matte gray, a bezel made from Hi-Tech matte ceramic or anodized aluminum, and a dial available in a host of colors. Similarly, numerous options abound for the strap, but no matter your selections, the indices and hands are finished in LumiNova for legibility and is powered by a Quartz Miyota 2035 movement.
