Oris Gives Its Ten-Day ProPilot a Leaner Case
Ten days between winding sessions is an unusual promise for a modern pilot’s watch. The revised Oris ProPilot Calibre 111 retains that mechanical endurance while addressing a more immediate consideration: how a watch with such a large mainspring wears on the wrist.
The stainless steel case now measures 43mm across, one millimeter less than its predecessor, with a slimmer 13.2mm profile. The turbine-inspired fluted bezel remains, as does the oversized crown, but the dial is more deliberately organized. A vertically brushed center contrasts with a textured outer ring and subdials. The date moves to six o’clock, balancing the small seconds at nine with the non-linear power-reserve indicator at three. Black and pine-green dials are offered.
Inside is the hand-wound Calibre 111, with a 240-hour reserve and an indicator that becomes more precise as the mainspring runs down. The steel case offers 100-meter water resistance and a sapphire display back. Compared with more decorative interpretations of the ProPilot family, this update focuses on proportions, legibility, and everyday ergonomics.
The refreshed Oris is available through the brand’s U.S. store and dealers. The black-dial leather-strap reference is listed at $7,200; bracelet pricing and other dial configurations vary by reference.
