Miles Davis

The Oris Miles Davis is a tribute piece dedicated to the legendary jazz trumpeter, reflecting both his creative spirit and the brand’s flair for music-inspired designs. Released in limited numbers, this model captures the improvisational essence of Davis with subtle blue accents—a nod to his iconic album "Kind of Blue"—and a unique caseback engraving of his silhouette. Unlike most Oris dress watches, the Miles Davis edition occupies a special place in the lineup as a collaboration that fuses horology with musical heritage, making it highly appealing to collectors who value cultural significance alongside mechanical craft.

Key reference numbers for this watch include the Oris 733 7652 4084, which features a 38mm stainless steel case and an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW 200-1. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters, appropriate for a dress watch of this type. The limited production run—often cited at 1,000 pieces—means the Miles Davis commands a premium over standard Oris models, especially for examples with full box, papers, and original blue strap.

Price variation is driven by condition, completeness, and whether the watch retains its original presentation set, which includes a special booklet about Davis. The presence of the unique caseback engraving and blue detailing on the dial are essential for authenticity and value; these features distinguish the Miles Davis from similar Oris Artelier models. When considering this watch, prioritize examples with minimal polish and intact dial printing, as restoration can affect desirability among collectors seeking this musically inspired limited edition.
