In the 1970s, the ChronOris was introduced. It was Oris' first chronograph watch. The minute counter is located on the inner orange/white bezel, which can be rotated using the crown at 3 o'clock. The neon-orange central chronograph hand is started, stopped and reset to zero with the pusher at 2 o'clock.
The Oris Calibre 725 was developed in collaboration with Dubois-Depraz, the renowned chronograph specialist.
