2.1202 ORIS ‘SUPER STAR’ AUTOMATIC, BOX/PAPERS, SWISS 1970s

A highly desirable Oris Super Star Automatic from the 1970s, offered here with its original long presentation box and guarantee paper. This example stands out as a higher-grade Oris, fitted with a true Swiss lever automatic movement rather than cheaper pin-pallet calibres commonly found in many vintage Oris watches. As a result, it delivers reliability and performance on a level expected from quality Swiss mechanical watches of the era.

The watch is in very good vintage condition. The rose gold plated case shows honest wear consistent with age, while retaining a warm and attractive tone. The silver sunburst dial is well preserved, with strong reflections and clean printing. The crown shows cosmetic wear but remains original and correctly signed. The movement has been serviced and performs excellently.

The watch is accompanied by its original Oris metal long box and original guarantee paper issued by Bentima Company, with a Gratton jewellers stamp. The absence of a filled sale date is common for surviving vintage documentation and does not detract from the rarity or appeal of this complete set.

Collectability of Vintage Oris Watches

Collecting vintage Oris watches requires careful selection. While many older Oris models are fitted with pin-pallet lever movements that can be unreliable today, examples like this calibre 645 KIF are increasingly sought after. Higher-grade Oris automatics with Swiss lever escapements, especially when preserved with original box and papers, represent some of the best value opportunities in vintage Swiss watch collecting. As awareness grows, these superior Oris models are becoming harder to find in wearable condition.
