Oris Big Crown Calibre 111 Aviation

If you ever wanted a watch that was sporty, but also had classic elements, this is just the watch you’ve been looking for. However, what should really attract you to the Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 from Oris is the massive power reserve that this watch offers. Many have a problem with automatic or manual-winding watches that stop running if not worn or wound for a certain amount of time. With a power reserve that lasts for 10 days, you could enjoy the quality, accuracy, and continuous performance of a mechanical watch, even if you leave it in your bureau for a week without even touching it. Moreover, the non-linear power reserve indicator at three o’clock on the dial is an ample reminder of when your watch is running out of ‘fuel’.

Yes, the display is inspired by the fuel gauge of an airplane, and that’s just one of the elements that make it a timepiece that will be appreciated by aviation watch aficionados. The coin-edged bezel that is inspired by jet turbines of plane engines, the extremely legible details on the dial, and of course the big crown for easy adjustment are other elements that make it a true pilot’s watch. But you don’t have to be a pilot or an aviation professional to own and wear this timepiece. The functionality of this watch makes it suitable for literally anyone. Additionally, the gorgeous anthracite dial or more vibrant, blue dial option, along with the choice of a steel, leather or textile strap, give you plenty of variations to pick from. This watch, from a brand that prides itself on its mechanical watchmaking, and in its price range, will definitely be worth every penny spent on it.
