Oris is delighted to introduce the Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 – a functional pilot’s watch that brings togeth er the company’s landmark in-house developed Calibre 111 movement with its iconic Big Crown ProPilot family. It’s the first time the innovative Calibre 111 has featured elsewhere in the Oris collection and demonstrates the company’s continuing ambitions to revive its watchmaking heritage.

The launch of Calibre 111 is a significant moment in Oris history. Last year, the independent Swiss brand began rebuilding its industrial in-house movement programme with Calibre 110. The unveiling of Calibre 111 in 2015 signals the next chapter in Oris’s long watchmaking tradition, which began in 1904

Oris Calibre 111 is hand-wound and features a 10-day power reserve, a patented non-linear power reserve indicator and a date function.

Like its precursor, Calibre 111 is a hand-wound movement with a 10-day power reserve and a patented non-linear power reserve indicator. Oris has added a date function in a window at 9 o’clock, creating a trio of complications not seen in a watch before.

The watch’s design takes its cues from the aviation-inspired Big Crown ProPilot collection. It has a multi-piece 44mm case made from satin-finished stainless steel, and a coin-edged bezel inspired by jet engine turbines. The non-linear power reserve indicator on the dial has been designed to look like an airplane fuel gauge. The watch also features a screw-in stainless steel crown and is water-resistant to 10 bar, or 100 metres.

It’s important to be able to read a pilot’s watch at a glance, which is why Oris has equipped the Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 with an anti-reflective coating on the inside of the sapphire crystal to minimise glare. In addition, the watch features Arabic numerals and hour and minute hands filled with highly legible Super-LumiNova®.

The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 displays its innovative in-house developed movement through a crystal case back.

The Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 has a smooth anthracite dial and applied numerals. It’s also the only timepiece in the Big Crown ProPilot collection to be fitted with a genuine Louisiana crocodile leather strap. The watch is also available with either a textile strap or a stainless steel bracelet.

The Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 is another sign of Oris’s eagerly anticipated return to movement manufacturing, and serves as another reminder of the company’s belief in making quality, industrially manufactured, high-functioning watches for ‘real people’.
