NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, June 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — On Tuesday, June 2nd the baseball world celebrated “Lou Gehrig Day” throughout the league. In honor of the day, Oris released the third in its series of baseball collaborations with the Lou Gehrig Limited Edition watch. This 2,130 piece limited edition Big Crown Pointer Date model honors the legendary ‘Iron Horse’ and his consecutive game streak (of 2,130 games). It also helps support global awareness of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Lou and Eleanor Gehrig Family Foundation.
For the launch, on June 2nd, Oris hosted international media outlets and journalists at Yankee Stadium for a special day of events which included a press conference with Yankees’ Manager Aaron Boone. This culminated with the global release of the Oris Lou Gehrig Limited Edition watch.
On “Lou Gehrig Day”, 15 out of the 30 active MLB managers supported this special day by wearing their personal Oris Lou Gehrig Limited Edition watches. They are as follows:

“Oris is deeply honored at the opportunity to collaborate with the Lou and Eleanor Gehrig Family Foundation and the New York Yankees for the launch of the Lou Gehrig Limited Edition watch. This 2,130 piece limited edition is a fitting tribute to an icon of sport. Beyond being a great watch, it supports critical research into ALS, for which there is still no known cure.” – V.J. Geronimo, CEO – The Americas, Oris
“This beautiful Oris watch reflects the same quiet strength, understated excellence, and endurance that defined Lou Gehrig. In a world of flashy excess, it is a remarkably well-done and tasteful tribute to Lou. We are delighted to partner with Oris. Their support means a great deal to families facing ALS and other public health challenges.” – John Howell, President – Lou and Eleanor Gehrig Family Foundation
