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’.

REBELLION – Reb-7 Forged Carbon Regulator – Only Watch 2015


REBELLIONREB-7 Forged Carbon Regulator – Only Watch 2015

The 2015 Only Watch REB-7 Forged Carbon Regulator is delivered along with Nicolas Prost's
 signed helmet and gloves, which were worn by 
the talented young driver during the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Developed to the exacting specifications of Rebellion’s master watchmaker, Laurent Besse, the movement of the REB- 7 is audacious in terms of both technical innovation and strong visual experience. 

Rebellion presents the unique Only Watch Charity Auction Reb-7 Forged Carbon Regulator for this year’s Only Watch charity auction. The exact watch worn and tested by the talented professional driver Nicolas Prost during the legendary 24-hour Le Mans endurance race in 2015, it features electric blue accents on the dial perfectly match Prost’s racing helmet.

With this unique piece REB-7 in a forged carbon case for Only Watch, REBELLION has brought the regulator into the 21st century. On the REB-7 Only Watch, a suspended sub dial at 12 o'clock displays the hours while minutes and seconds are displayed centrally.

A date at 6 o'clock completes the indications. After the eye-catching electric blue on the hour and minutes hands and Piece Unique at the bottom of the dial, the viewer's gaze ? unhindered by a conventional dial ? is drawn into the intricacies of the movement.

It says much about the clarity of purpose in the design that the visible micro-mechanics in no way hinder the legibility of reading the time: the latter an essential quality in a regulator. The open dial construction offers permanent visibility of nearly all of the data, without confusion.

For example, all of the black, laser-cut dates are visible as they orbit the center; however today's date is obvious as it passes under a window at 6 o'clock. The Rebellion REB-7 Forged Carbon Regulator is a unique piece for Only Watch. It was worn by Nicolas Prost during the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans and comes with his signed gloves and helmet.

When the lucky winner races off to the winner’s circle to claim this watch, they will also receive a signed helmet and gloves worn by Nicolas Prost during the 2015 24 Heures du Mans - ACO Official.
