Oris x Cervo Volante unveil the sustainably elegant Pointer Date

A fusion of craft and conscience: The Oris x Cervo Volante Pointer Date

By Triston Brewer Published October 9, 2025

The Oris x Cervo Volante Pointer Date 40mm — Oris

Oris continues its tireless commitment to sustainability through a masterful new collaboration with Swiss leather artisan, Cervo Volante. This second edition of their partnership presents the Big Crown Pointer Date in a 40mm case, a luxury watch seamlessly blending horological artistry with an eco-friendly narrative. The soul of this exclusive creation lies in its gorgeous mahogany brown strap, created from deer hides that are a byproduct of necessary population control in Switzerland. This union transforms a material that would otherwise go unused into a thing of enduring beauty and durability, an approach to circular fashion that is sure to resonate with the modern, conscientious collector.

The timepiece echoes the rich hues of an autumnal landscape

In addition to a stylish and eco-conscious strap, the watch itself is a brilliant display of quiet luxury elegance and refined design. The dial is a captivating gradient of burnt maple, evoking the crisp sophistication of an autumn forest. This canvas is further accented by the iconic pointer date function, its hand tipped in a deep forest green, creating a visually striking contrast. Housed within the polished 40mm stainless steel case is the robust Oris Calibre 754, an automatic movement offering a 41-hour power reserve. Each watch includes a complementary Cervo Volante travel pouch, uniting the partnership into the complete package.

A resounding statement on modern, conscientious horology

The Oris x Cervo Volante collaboration is a definitive statement of brand philosophy, masterfully weaving its sustainability mission directly into the fabric of its product to craft a timepiece that pulls at the heartstrings as well as the mind. It proves that environmental responsibility and horological brilliance can come together to form an object of profound desire. This limited edition Big Crown Pointer Date is for the discerning watch collector in search of a piece that warms the wrist with its beauty and its conscience.

Swatch’s new gold MoonSwatch is priced like it’s 1969

The Mission to the Moon 1969 packs 11 grams of real 18K gold — priced at the 1969 gold rate.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Guess what? It's another MoonSwatch — but this isn't just another colorway. The new drop from the Switzerland-based watchmaker, the MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon 1969, is the first to use real gold across the dial, hands, crown, and pushers.

The watch marks the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on July 21, 1969.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5

The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.

Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches

These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars

Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.
