Oris has brought back its most unusual caliber—the hand-wound Calibre 113 with a 10-day power reserve, patented non-linear display, and a rare business calendar week display—and incorporated it into the Big Crown series for the first time. The result? A 43-mm metal “boss of the cabin” with a mint green dial and pink accents that feels more like a friendly Swiss organizer than a corporate arsenal. Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 - Price: $8,100 / CHF 6,350 / ~6,350 EUR.
Big Crown is Outline a house legend since 1938. Now this pilot with the big crown gets a brain implant: Caliber 113 – manual mechanism with 240 hours (10 days) winding reserve, patented non-linear display reserves and, crucially, business calendar with display 52 weeksThis is the first time that the 113 has been incorporated into the Big Crown series, and this time into a model called – Oris Big Crown Caliber 113.
What is a “business calendar” anyway?
Instead of a moon phase or a tourbillon, you get something you actually use: ring with 52 weeks and months around the circumference of the dial. The center hand (the one with the pink tip) shows you the current week; day is in the box under the logo at 12 o'clock, the date but at 6 o'clockIt's less "college-like" than a perpetual calendar, but much rarer - and for anyone who plans projects by the week, more useful.
Caliber 113: 10 days, single barrel and non-linear logic
The heart of the watch Oris Big Crown Calibre 113 it is hand-wound Oris Calibre 113. In one large barrel there is enough energy for 10 days and ticking at 21,600 A/h. Non-linear reserve display expands the scale towards the end to make it easier to see whether there are two days or two hours left – a finesse that Oris patented and it fits nicely with his "practical" engineering.
One-crown management (yes, really)
Give the crown a second position and with the same crown set date (counterclockwise) and day + week/month (clockwise). In the third position the clock hacking Stop seconds for precise synchronization. No hidden pushers; the logic is clean and, once you get the hang of it, very fast.
Dimensions and ergonomics: the numbers speak for themselves
Stainless steel case custom 43 mm in diameter, 13.5mm in height and approximately 50.5mm “lug-to-lug”. Watertightness is 5 barand glass domed sapphire with internal anti-reflective coating – front and back, so you can see the entire drive of the 113. This is not a mini watch, but the proportions and the drop bracelet ensure that wearability is not just a theory.
Color story: menthol and pink, with gold stripes
The outline played with colors: shiny mint green dial, pink subdials (small seconds at 9 and reserve at 3), while printed details white and golden for readability and contrast. It almost looks like a chronograph – until you notice that “seconds” hand is working one round per year.

Conclusion: a tidy life, one threaded barrel
Big Crown Caliber 113 is that cute paradox: it looks light and playful, but under the dial it hides mechanical “organizational” superpowerIf your time is running out in sprints after weeks, this is one of the few Swiss pieces that answers that. no apps – only with one crown, a big barrel and a good idea. In a world where the calendar on your phone is soulless, this watch is almost rebelliously human.
