INTRODUCING: Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser
The Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 has been a fast favorite of new collectors & veteran Oris fans alike since its release in 2022. The “Kermit” edition, featuring the beloved Muppet character as the first day of each month on the date wheel, made quite a splash on social media surrounding its limited release. Now, Oris have completely outdone themselves. They’ve teamed up with an elite Swiss research group to produce one of the most eye-catching and unbeleviably vibrant dials that the industry has seen in a long time in the form of the new Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser.

THE JUICE:
Right off the bat, this dial is just an absolute stunner. In a line of spectacular dials, this somehow stands head and shoulders above its variations. The shimmering dial change as light hits it differently, and truly explodes with color - all without using a drop of color pigment. The use of a never-before-employed method of laser cutting yields a natural phenomenon known as optical interference, severing light into its components and creating the unbelievable rainbow-esque effect that we see. By specially laser-cutting the hour markers, they have an ‘applied’ appearance, making them appear conventionally done.
Aside from the jaw-dropping dial, this watch is exactly what you would expect from this line: a light, durable, sporty watch that can be worn in any setting. It has a sleek case and bracelet, making it surprisingly dress-appropriate for an integrated bracelet piece, but is still daily-wear ready. Thanks to a twin barrel system in the Calibre 400 movement, this watch has a whopping 5-day power reserve. Translation: Wear it as a weekend watch if you want and you’ll still probably never have to wind or set it.
Hopefully such an eye-catching watch will have enthusiasts giving flowers to a brand that I always believe is deserving of more love. Fans of watch technology should be excited about this advancement in dial production - and hopefully clamor for more like this. I personally cannot wait to see this piece live.
