More than 75 years after Oris made its first pilot’s watch,
the company is proud to announce the launch of the most innovative pilot’s
watch in its history – the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, the world’s first
automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter.
Aviation continues to play a significant role in the Oris
line-up. In 2014, Oris introduced the Big Crown ProPilot collection, a series
of mechanical watches designed to cope with life in the cockpit. Initially,
there were three models – a date, a day/date, both with an enlarged font size,
and a chronograph. Now, the Swiss watch company is unveiling the most
complicated pilot’s watch it has ever made – the Oris Big Crown ProPilot
Altimeter. The new watch is an innovation pioneered by Oris in its Hölstein
factory, and the world’s first and patented automatic mechanical watch with a
mechanical altimeter.
It demonstrates Oris’s exceptional watchmaking know-how and
horological ambition, both of which have been built up over 110 years of
watchmaking history.
The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter has been developed
entirely by Oris to serve as a high-performance instrument for pilots,
mountaineers, explorers and research scientists, who work at altitude. Its
sturdy 47mm multi-piece stainless steel case houses an Oris automatic movement,
and a Swiss mechanical barometric altimeter and barometer movement.
