Brand new from Jomashop, a grey-market (non-authorized) dealer, so expect the store's warranty (Jomashop lists '2 Year Jomashop Warranty') rather than the brand's. 'List' is the retail figure the dealer displays; I could not confirm it on the brand's own US site. Prices change fast; check the store before you buy.

Which one I'd pick
Which one: I priced 01 754 7798 4069 (yellow dial, steel bracelet). Big Crown Pointer Dates come in bronze and many dial colours; compare full refs.
What to check before you buy
- Warranty: grey-market new watches usually carry the dealer's warranty, not the brand's. Ask which one you get and whether the brand's warranty card is included.
- Exact reference: dial colour, size and strap change the price. Match the full ref (01 754 7798 4069-07 8 20 06) before comparing deals.
- Fakes and red flags: be wary of prices far below the ranges above, stock photos only, or sellers who won't show the caseback, serial and papers.

History
Oris was founded in 1904 in Hölstein, Switzerland, by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian.

The 01 754 7798 4069 checked here is a 40 mm steel version with the Oris Calibre 754 (base SW 200-1), per Jomashop.
