Racing Strap for Oris Big Crown Pointer Date
The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date is a pilot's watch at heart, and a plain dress strap can make it look more formal than it is. This order asked for the opposite: a racing strap with perforations and contrast stitching, built in brown Swift calfskin, closed with a rose gold Cartier-style deployant instead of a pin buckle.

Why these choices
Racing style on a pilot's watch. Our racing straps carry racing-inspired perforations and contrast stitching. On the Big Crown Pointer Date, with its oversized crown and hand-pointer date, that sporty detailing reads as part of the same tool-watch family rather than a costume change. The creamy white side stitching is the contrast here: against brown leather it outlines the strap without shouting.
Why Swift. Swift is a smooth calfskin that takes deep color and is softer than Epsom. Perforations open up the surface of the leather, so a smooth hide shows them cleanly, and the softness means the strap wraps the wrist from day one instead of needing weeks to break in. Brown keeps it in the vintage-aviation lane the watch already lives in. You can see more of this leather in our Swift leather watch straps and the wider range in brown leather watch straps.
Deployant, quick release, tapered tip. The rose gold Cartier-style deployant replaces the tongue buckle, so the strap isn't bent through a hole every time it goes on. The quick-release spring bars let the owner swap between this strap and others without tools. The tapered tip keeps the tail end neat where it tucks under the clasp. The 75/125 mm length is a step longer than our 75/115 mm default on the tail side.
★★★★★
