Oris Trims the ProPilot Calibre 111 to 43mm and Moves the Date to 6 o’Clock

The ProPilot Calibre 111 is the Oris pilot’s watch for people who want the brand’s own movement, a hand-wound calibre that runs for 10 days between windings. The old version squeezed the small seconds and the date together on the left side of the dial. This update fixes that, takes a millimetre off the case and adds the new dial finish from last year’s ProPilot Date.

The steel case now measures 43mm wide, down from 44mm, and 13.2mm thick. Lug-to-lug is 51mm, which is quite long. The turbine-style fluted bezel and the big screw-down crown remain pretty much unchanged. On top is a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inner surface, and on the backside is a sapphire display crystal. Water resistance is 100 meters.

You can have the dial in black or pine green. The centre is brushed vertically, and a rougher texture covers the outer ring and spills into parts of the main surface, the same treatment the ProPilot Date got in 2025. It gives the dial more depth than before and doesn’t hurt legibility. Applied Arabic numerals and lumed hands make it very easy to read. Small seconds stays at 9, as does the power reserve indicator at 3, but the date is moved to 6. That gauge is non-linear, so the final days of running time take up more of the scale and are easier to judge.

Inside is the Oris calibre 111, a hand-wound in-house movement introduced in 2015, following the calibre 110 that brought Oris back to making its own movements. It beats at 4Hz, and one 1.8-metre mainspring supplies 10 days of power. When torque gets too low, the movement shuts down rather than run inaccurately. You can choose between a steel bracelet with Oris’s LIFT folding clasp or Cordovan leather, also with a LIFT clasp. Lug width is 20mm.

The Oris ProPilot Calibre 111 is available now as a regular collection model, priced at CHF 5,900 on leather and CHF 6,100 on the bracelet. See more on the Oris website.
