The Big Crown ProPilot Okavango Air Rescue (O.A.R.) LE celebrates the 10th anniversary of a truly great initiative. Created with the intention of serving remote communities in Botswana, the O.A.R. brings aeromedical services to areas that would otherwise be cut off. Oris has teamed up with the organization to bring attention to their cause with a safari-styled edition of their trusty, modern pilot’s watch.

One of their most wearable watches, the Big Crown ProPilot date features a sleek 41mm case with distinctive turbine detailing on the bezel and crown, and impeccable finishing all around. On the back of the watch is a special engraved case-back showing a plane in flight. The O.A.R. edition features a unique nature-inspired dial that speaks to the lush Okavango Delta. The gradient dial fades from a verdant yellow-green to a darker, shaded tone, which is printed over a deeply textured dial with an organic grain. Molded Super-Luminova numerals still stand out, providing legibility day or night. 

The  Big Crown ProPilot Okavango Air Rescue LE is limited to 2011 units, and comes with a leather travel pouch, as well as two straps: an elastic Erika’s Originals, and a classic brown leather.

Inside of the Big Crown ProPilot Okavango Air Rescue LE is the Oris 751 / Sellita SW 220 movement. This is a 26-jewel Swiss-made automatic with 38-hour power reserve, hacking seconds and a frequency of 28,800 bph. The movement has been modified to include a larger date.
