Frequently Asked Questions
The Artelier is a fully redesigned dress collection that Oris relaunched at Watches & Wonders 2026 after a long hiatus, positioned as an "urban dress watch". The redesign draws on mid-century modern design and debuts a new radial dial texture with applied wedge indices. The update was led by Lena Huwiler, a 24-year-old product design engineer. The new lineup spans the Artelier Date, the Artelier Complication and the in-house Calibre 113
It comes in dress-watch proportions across the range: the Artelier Date is 38mm, the Complication and the Hölstein Edition are 39.5mm, and the in-house Calibre 113 is the largest at 43mm. They wear slim — the Hölstein Edition, for instance, is 11.1mm thick with a 45.5mm lug-to-lug — so the 38–39.5mm models sit comfortably on most wrists and slip easily under a cuff.
Yes to daily wear; be cautious near water. Oris designed the Artelier as a foundational everyday piece rather than an occasion-only dress watch, refined enough for a suit but meant to stay on the wrist. Like most dress watches, though, its water resistance is modest — fine for everyday splashes, not for swimming or diving. If you want a watch for the water, the Aquis is the one to look at.
The Artelier Date is the clean time-and-date entry model at 38mm with the collection's signature radial-textured dial. The Artelier Complication steps up to 39.5mm and adds a moonphase paired with a pointer date, offered in ivory, midnight blue and chestnut. Choose the Date for a versatile everyday dress watch; choose the Complication for the extra display and a slightly dressier presence. Above both sits the in-house Calibre 113 for collectors.
This Oris Artelier Calibre 113 is special because it combines serious mechanical watchmaking with a highly collectible theme. Created for the Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, it is limited to just 88 pieces and features a bold red dial with a unique power-reserve display that changes from a galloping horse when full to a resting horse when empty. Inside is Oris’s hand-wound Calibre 113, offering an impressive 10-day power reserve plus day, date, week and month indications, making it both technically distinctive and visually symbolic.
