Baseball Hall-of-Famer, Hank Aaron was one of the sport’s all-time greats, on and off the field. Oris dedicates this new limited edition to the extraordinary life and humanitarian work of Hank Aaron, who devoted his life to improving the chances of others.

The watch is based on Oris’s signature design, the Big Crown Pointer Date, with touches that point to the great man and his record-breaking career. Hank Aaron’s famous baseball uniform inspires the color palette of blue, red, and white. The palette is subtly applied to reflect Aaron’s humble attitude: in the blue-outlined red numerals; in the red-outlined blue minutes ring that runs around the dial; and in the blue leather strap, which is finished with white stitching akin to the stitching on a baseball glove. It comes with an interchangeable blue, red, and white NATO fabric strap and a strap change tool.

Beyond, the watch is the familiar Big Crown, with a smooth, ergonomic round case in 40mm of stainless steel; a central pointer date hand with a red tip; a fluted bezel reminiscent of classic pilot’s watches; and an oversized crown, first added to an Oris watch in 1938 as a device for gloved airmen. The caseback is engraved with a motif of Hank Aaron and his famous cross-handed batting stance, another thing that set him apart in the world of baseball.
