Hi Paul
Oris are good quality but now they are VERY OVERPRICED.....
About 15 to 20 years ago they were known as a "good reliable inexpensive watch".
Then everyone jumped on the quartz bandwagon, and they kept making mechanical watches.....
fast forward a few years and people start to return to mechanical watches.... Oris are still making them, and notice an opportunity... double their prices, and make a lot of money.....
If you want Automatic then look at Tissot, Omega and Rado.
All relatively inexpensive (Tissot the cheapest of the 3) all have an automatic model in their range, and all use EXACTLY THE SAME/VERY SIMILAR MOVEMENT AS ORIS. Although the Omega and Rado are finished to a higher standard.
Also TAG Heuer make an automatic..... again use the same movement.
How is this so?
The main movement manufacturer in switzerland is ETA/ESA, they make movements for the vast majority of "Swiss watches".
Most "manufacturers" these days only make the cases..... and some don't even do that.
BTW I am a watchmaker/repairer, so do know what I am talking about..... most of the time....
