[Question] Why on earth is anything slightly more recently made by Oris so irritatingly thick? (alien.top)

I was doubtful between a Eterna (Tangaroa automatic) and a Oris for my next purchase and...this factor made it a no brainer to go with the Eterna. But while that can be seen as a positive thing...why is Oris now making such beefy thick cases? They make post Swatch Omega look thin by comparison and that's saying something.

Sure for most people it will be fine...but Oris didn't use to have this issue back in the day normally. So what happened?

I am in other words asking why are their movements thicker. Is it because of the using of ETA and Sellita based stuff?

While on the topic, it's good to see Tag Heuer is going the opposite direction with newer releases coming out with progressively thinner cases

I think that it has to do with Oris new in house movements. The new 400 is significantly bigger than the previous 733. 30mm vs 25mm
