The Oris ProPilot X returns in a new, lithe package. The descendant of the 2019 ProPilot X Cal 115, the new model features the same sleek, stealthy looks, but the new 5-day automatic caliber 400 inside and a very wearable size. Part of the Big Crown ProPilot line, the X isn’t just a modern take on a pilot’s watch, it has one foot in the future too. With sharp angles, Oris’ signature turbine bezel, and a matte-finished titanium construction, the ProPilot X looks like it’s meant to move fast.
Despite utilizing Oris’ impressive 120-hour automatic movement, the new ProPilot X features a thin 39mm case. Rendered fully in lightweight titanium, you’ll hardly know it’s on your wrist. The matching titanium bracelet, with Oris’ patented lift mechanism, only adds to comfort. Playing off of the aggressive lines by way of contrast, the dial is clean and open. Thin lines in slightly varying thicknesses create all of the major indexes. Choose from smokey gray, handsome blue, or vibrant salmon.
The collection continues to expand. First, in a special collaboration with © Disney's The Muppets, called the Kermit Green Edition. A playful and subtle nod to everyone's favorite frog that comes with a surprise. On the first of every month, Kermit appears on the date wheel with a big ol' smile.
Now the brand has released a Laser Edition. This Propilot X features a unique dial making use of a first in watchmaking; optical interference. As light hits the dial, certain wavelengths of color are reflected, leaving a rainbow effect. Created by laser treatment, not one drop of paint was used to accomplish this effect.
The Oris Caliber 400 inside of the ProPilot X is a truly impressive new movement from the independent Swiss brand. Featuring 21-jewels, this automatic caliber boasts a 120-hour/5-day power reserve. By removing many ferrous components, Oris was able to achieve high magnetic resistance. Thanks to a design that put efficiency and longevity at the forefront, Oris warranties the movement for 10 years, and recommends a 10-year service interval.
