As Oris’ 120th anniversary year celebrations near their conclusion, Chinese New Year and fresh beginnings come into view.
Drawing these together, we’re delighted to introduce the ProPilot X Year of the Snake Limited Edition, an 88-piece edition based on our innovative ProPilot X Calibre 115 and inspired by the spirit and colorways of the Chinese zodiac animal.
In the Chinese zodiac, the snake symbolizes wisdom, wealth, agility, and intelligence.
The zodiac has five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. This year is wood, which is associated with growth and new beginnings, and represented by the Chinese color cyan. In keeping with this theme, the sinewy, snake-like structure of this special watch’s skeletonized dial is finished in cyan, giving it an elegant energy that complements the muted tones of the watch’s brushed titanium case and bracelet.
Inside is the Calibre 115 movement, Oris’s in-house-developed hand-wound movement that offers a 10-day power reserve and a patented non-linear power reserve indicator, here elevated by a golden hand that takes the form of a snake’s tongue. The case back is finished with special engravings signifying the Year of the Snake.
The new ProPilot X Year of the Snake Limited Edition limited to just 88 pieces and sized at 44mm in full titanium and powered by our in-house Calibre 115 manually wound movement. The watch will be available starting December 18. It’s priced at $9,100 USD, 12,800 CAD.
