We’re delighted to introduce the new Artelier Complication, the flagship model in the new Artelier collection, an Oris classic that returns with a dynamic new profile. It’s been designed by Lena Huwiler, Oris’s new Product Design Engineer, who at 24-years-old has brought fresh sensitivity to a much-loved watch. The major update is in the complication and how it’s presented. This begins with the new Calibre 782 automatic. It has the same base architecture as its precursor, Calibre 781, only without the gearing that served two further dial indications on previous models. The new watch therefore has only two sub counters, a moon phase at 12 o’clock and a second 24-hour time zone at 6 o’clock. This delivers two immediate benefits. First, it declutters the dial while retaining all the essential information. And second, it means adjustment can be managed through the crown and a single pusher integrated into the right case flank. The dial is available in three colors: ivory, midnight blue and chestnut. Each has three zones: a textured center, a smooth, gently curved outer rim, and those two sub-counters to display the watch’s signature complications. On the chestnut version, these counters are a darker color, further enhancing legibility. The silvered moon sits on a starry background that matches that of the moon phase’s curved aperture cover (the shape enables the indication of a waxing and waning moon), a decision taken to reduce the visual impact of the cover’s baroque form. The dial is covered by an elegantly domed sapphire crystal. Further details add to the modernist feel. It has tapered and stepped hour markers and square-tipped hour and minute hands, and there’s a new sans serif typeface for the words “Artelier” and “Swiss Made”. The result is a deliberately modern design that reimagines two classic watchmaking functions for a youthful, urbane audience.
