The Oris ProPilot Calibre 111 is refreshed with a black or pine green dial

Oris brings the design changes introduced on the ProPilot Date in 2025 to its ten-day, hand-wound pilot's watch, adding a dial that combines two finishes.

In 2014, the year of its 110th anniversary, Oris introduced Calibre 110, the movement that marked the Swiss brand's return to making its own calibres. Calibre 111 followed a year later. Developed from the 110, it is a hand-wound movement with a ten-day power reserve, small seconds, a date and a non-linear power reserve indicator patented by Oris. It made its debut in 2015 in the Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111, a 44 mm pilot's watch.

In 2025 Oris redesigned the ProPilot Date, its automatic everyday pilot's watch, giving it a nature-inspired textured dial, applied numerals, lume-tipped hands, a more ergonomic folding clasp and a new strap adjustment system; ORELO covered those changes in September with the ProPilot Bronze. The brand has now applied the same design to the ProPilot Calibre 111, which it unveiled on October 16, the opening day of WatchTime New York, with a black or pine green dial.

A dial with two finishes

The change shows most on the dial. On the ProPilot Date the textured surface covers the whole dial, whereas on the Calibre 111 it becomes a secondary element that frames the centre and shows through it in two places: the small seconds at 9 o'clock and the power reserve sector at 3 o'clock. The rest of the dial is vertically brushed, which, according to Oris, gives it a slightly more formal look in keeping with the watch's mechanical character. The applied Arabic numerals carry Super-LumiNova, as do the indices and hands, and the date window sits at 6 o'clock.

The steel case measures 43 mm, one millimetre less than the 2015 model, and is 13.2 mm thick. At 51 mm from lug to lug it stays compact for a pilot's watch of that diameter, since the lugs extend only four millimetres beyond the case on each side. It keeps the two features that tie the collection to aviation, the angled fluting on the bezel and the oversized crown, which screws down and contributes to the 100-metre water resistance.

The watch comes on a steel bracelet or a dark brown Cordovan leather strap, both fitted with the LIFT folding clasp, one of the signature elements of the ProPilot line.

Calibre 111 and its ten days

Calibre 111 is a hand-wound movement designed by Oris, 34 mm in diameter, running at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz). Its 240-hour power reserve, ten full days, is far beyond the roughly 42 hours typical of most entry-level and mid-range mechanical calibres, and it comes from a single barrel housing a 1.8-metre mainspring. Fully wound, the watch can be left unworn for more than a week and still be running on time when it is picked up again.

With that much autonomy, the power reserve indicator matters more than it would on a two-day movement, and Oris gave it a non-linear scale. The markings for the first days are closer together and those for the last days further apart, so the reading becomes more precise as the time to rewind approaches, much like a fuel gauge that grows more exact as the tank runs low. The final stretch of the scale is marked in orange on the black version and in red on the pine green one.

Because it is hand-wound, the calibre has no rotor, and the transparent caseback shows the entire movement, including its large barrel.

Price and service in Mexico

The ProPilot Calibre 111 costs USD 7,200 on the Cordovan strap and USD 7,400 on the steel bracelet. Oris's official site lists it at MXN 145,000 and MXN 149,000 in Mexico, and at EUR 5,900 and EUR 6,100 in Spain. Oris has its own subsidiary in Mexico, Oris Watch Mexico, based in Mexico City, and its store locator lists more than seventy authorised retailers in the country, including the department stores El Palacio de Hierro and Liverpool and the jewellers Berger and Ghiberti. For servicing, the same locator gives two authorised centres, both in Mexico City: the subsidiary's own and Relojería Suiza. Registering the watch with MyOris extends the warranty to five years.

Ten days with the 2025 design

The ProPilot Calibre 111 combines two things Oris developed separately over the past decade: an in-house calibre with a ten-day power reserve and the design update the ProPilot collection introduced last year. The vertical brushing makes its dial a little more restrained than the ProPilot Date's, and the texture showing through the small seconds and the power reserve indicator sets it apart within the family. The non-linear indicator gives its most precise reading during the last days of the reserve, just before the watch needs winding again. Eleven years after its debut, Calibre 111 joins the refreshed collection with its ten days of autonomy unchanged and a case more compact than that of the first model.
