Oris is bringing the Artelier Complication back for 2026, reviving a classical automatic dress watch built around calendar information, a moon-phase display and a second time zone.
The return is notable because the Artelier line has long been Oris’s more refined counterpoint to its dive, aviation and motorsport watches, and this model leans into that identity with a genuinely useful mix of complications.
A Dress-Oriented Oris With Real Daily Utility
The Artelier Complication sits in a different space from the brand’s tool-watch staples, offering a polished, traditional layout rather than a sporty brief.
Its appeal is the way it gathers several indications into one watch without turning into a grand complication or pushing into inaccessible territory.
Moon Phase And Second Time Zone On The Dial
The headline functions are the moon phase and the second time zone, two complications that give the watch more character than a conventional three-hander with date.
The moon phase adds a visual, almost old-world element, while the additional time display gives the watch a practical role for travel, remote work or keeping track of family abroad.
The Artelier Context
Oris has often used the Artelier collection to explore more elegant executions of its mechanical watchmaking, with cleaner cases, dressier dials and complications that feel at home under a cuff.
For collectors who associate Oris mainly with the Divers Sixty-Five, Aquis or Big Crown lines, the Artelier Complication is a reminder that the brand’s catalogue has historically been broader than tool watches alone.
Pricing And Availability
Full commercial details for the 2026 return, including final pricing and market availability, have not yet been confirmed.
If Oris keeps the model close to the approachable spirit of the earlier Artelier Complication, it could become an appealing option for buyers who want a mechanical watch with multiple displays, traditional styling and everyday wearability without moving into haute horlogerie pricing.
