Artelier Skeleton

The Oris Artelier Skeleton brings openworked Swiss watchmaking into an approachable, contemporary package. Its appeal lies in the full skeletonization of both dial and movement, allowing a clear view of the mechanical heart from both sides—a feature rarely seen at this price point. As part of Oris’s classic Artelier line, this model blends traditional aesthetics with modern flair, making it a conversation piece for collectors who appreciate visible mechanics without excessive ornamentation.

The 40mm stainless steel case wears elegantly on most wrists, while the sapphire crystal front and back showcase the hand-wound Oris 734 caliber (based on the Sellita SW200-1). Reference numbers for this model include 01 734 7670 4051, with minor dial and strap variations across production years. Earlier versions may feature different finishing or slight color shifts in the movement bridges, which can influence collector desirability and pricing.

Pricing varies with condition, completeness (box and papers add value), and originality of the strap or bracelet. The Artelier Skeleton is generally free from widespread aftermarket modification or counterfeiting concerns, so focus on case condition and movement health—visible wear or scratched crystals can detract from the visual drama that makes this model special. This watch suits those seeking a Swiss skeleton with everyday versatility and genuine horological interest.
