Every watch collector needs a watch they can wear on more formal occasions. Something that isn’t designed to dive to crazy depths or time laps on a track. No, just a simple, classic design that says “I have good taste.” The recently revived Oris Rectangular does the job with an art deco flair and a decidedly reserved sense of style. Best of all, they aren’t too dressy either, easily fitting in with everyday attire.

The Oris Rectangular features a case that’s 25.5mm wide x 38mm long x 10.3mm thick, making it suited for wrists of various sizes, and always sleek. Rectangular watches have a unique presence on the wrist, forming a clean line from the strap through the case, making them great when you want to wear a watch, but not have it stand out too much, and easily slip under a cuff. The design itself then balances a modest overall look with stepped sides, for an architectural touch.

The dial of the Rectangular is pure 30’s, with thick numerals laid out at 3, 9, and 12, bounded by angular track indexes. Markers all flare out from the center, giving the dial a dynamic sense of motion. Small sword hands echo this design and feature lume for increased legibility. A date window at three gives the Rectangular some everyday convenience as well.

Powering the Oris Rectangular is the Oris 561, base ETA 2671. This Swiss-made automatic caliber is small in scale, making it usable in a watch like this, yet still very high quality. The movement features 25 jewels, date, hand-winding, a power reserve of 42 hours, a frequency of 28,800 bph, and has been customized with Oris’ red rotor.
