Sir Frank Williams called Oris part of the family after twelve seasons with its name on his cars, and this is the watch that partnership produced: the Oris WilliamsF1 Team Pointer Date, the Formula 1 team watch from one of Switzerland's few independent, family-owned makers.
The date is swept by a central hand, the pointer date Oris first built for glove-wearing pilots in 1938 and still calls its signature. The black dial carries a fine carbon texture lifted from the car, and the degree scale on the bezel is a working compass: point the hour hand at the sun and south sits halfway to twelve. Through the back turns the red rotor only Oris fits.
Monochrome ranks Williams third of all constructors with 114 Grand Prix wins and nine constructors' championships, second only to Ferrari, and calls the Oris partnership that began in 2003 a solid one. This case debuted in 2008; Oris replaced the whole Williams range with an all-new design in 2015, so the pointer date version is no longer made.
Graded Excellent on its steel bracelet, this is the Williams era of Oris on the wrist: a racing watch with a mechanism from 1938 inside, to wear now and to keep.
