The Oris Artix Tycho Brahe model, reference number 01 761 7691 4085-SET LS, was introduced in 2015 as part of the brand's Artix collection. The watch features a 42.0 mm steel case with a transparent case back that offers a view of the intricate movement inside. At its heart lies the newly conceived caliber 761, based on the Sellita SW220, which boasts a rare pointer moon complication. This unique feature includes a central hand that points to a specialized moonphase scale, making two jumps per day for an unusually accurate depiction of the current moon phase. The design of this timepiece draws inspiration from the astronomical work of Tycho Brahe, a notable 16th-century Danish astronomer whose observations laid groundwork for future scientific discoveries. With its sophisticated complication and historical inspiration, the watch presents both a visually and intellectually appealing piece. The overall style is classical with modern mechanical enhancements, suitable for those who appreciate both horological craftsmanship and celestial history.
