Last year saw Oris undertaking a bold move to renew their cherished ProPilot Date watch. This entailed a modernised yet familiar approach to aviation-inspired design, while ensuring the introduction of a streamlined case and refined proportions. This time, Oris unveiled the first inspired variation from their refreshed collection—the ProPilot Bronze. This intriguing watch is a heated, character-loaded representation where the material plays a leading role in the overall aesthetics.
Retaining the measurements of the existing steel model, the 41mm case of the ProPilot Bronze stands at an 11.7mm thickness and spreads across a 49mm lug-to lug distance. Now fully fashioned in bronze, except for the securely fitted steel case back enclosed with mineral glass, the watch offers a dramatically different allure. Allowing nature to leave its imprint, the bronze exterior is designed to develop a distinct patina, thus enabling each timepiece to slowly but surely acquire a unique personality.
