Watch Description
https://www.ethoswatches.com/the-watch-guide/oris-bc3-day-date/
Â
The model name BC refers to the Big Crown, specifically designed to be operated while wearing flying gloves, and is a nod to the models made in WWII that needed to be set/operated without aircrew removing their gloves (heating was a luxury not extended to military aircraft, and operating thousands of feet above the earth for extended periods the aircraft interiors would be barely above freezing).
The BC3 line usually features a satin finished stainless steel three hand 42mm model, although a 42mm chronograph (674 7511 41 64, Caliber 674, ETA7750) was available, and can still be found on auction sites from time to time.
Â
Traditionally, (since the model was released in 2000) the day and date windows have been located opposite each other at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions on the dial, something of an Oris signature, but new models now have the two displays on top of each other in a ‘T’ shaped window.
