ORIS is really stepping up their game, and making more and more new and innovating watches, unlike some of the older brands

[@heinrich3427]

I tried all colors today and the gray one is such an outstanding timepiece! Pictures don't do this watch justice. And the feeling on the wrist is absolutely brilliant.

Minimalist design, in house caliber, can this beautiful watch be a GS killer? Will be all about the price, if at same price you can buy a Tudor then...

Respect to Oris for the new modern design. Can't wait to See in person.

@@ModernandVintageWatches personally I wouldn't be cross shopping this design with anything Tudor makes. Different style completely for me.

[@eljayr4669]

I really like the watch but I don’t buy watches that don’t have micro adjust. This is a real shame and I don’t understand why manufacturers do not have slide locks as standard on their steel bracelet models.

[@draganbareric6076]

Same here!!!!

[@JakeWells]

Same. It's a deal breaker.

Thanks for the review! Looks impressive, the bracelet is just a nice to look at. I like their take on the integrated bracelet, which isn’t integrated. The blue dial would be my pick. I think the white date wheel looks good to me.

Outstanding!!

[@j1d7s]

This is a really nice watch, the hands and the general character giving it a bit of Parmigiani vibes, at least for me. The caliber is good looking, precise and in-house and the bracelet is exceptional. The only thing that may prevent me from buying one is that the indices are only printed. I own an enamel watch where this obviously is the case, too, but there the dial itself is the star and I am not sure I would find the dial surface of this watch here that interesting, it would be good to see one of the watches in person to be able to decide.

[@heinrich3427]

Initially I didn't like the dial. But it is growing a lot on me today and I have to say I start liking, even loving it. Especially the grey and blue one. The dial kind of reminds me of the Bulgari Octo Finissimo and it is giving me Zenith Defy Classic vibes without it being an homage at all. Looks like Oris is now getting onto the integrated steel bracelet sports watch bandwagon without having an integrated steel bracelet but it very much has this vibe to me.

[@TimeAndCrown]

I felt the same way when I first saw the watch. But it really grows on you and its very comfortable on wrist.

[@quatrical]

Ohhh that's a beautiful watch

[@wangox]

The only grudge i have against the Pilot X is the flat dial that looks in my opinion too empy and simple. Maybe it was their vision to make it kinda like a prototype watch, because thats the vibe i get from the whole looks of it. But the bracelet and bucle looks absolute like nothing i've seen before. Really cool

[@pier70juve]

The dial is essentially a minimal design, it’s simple for that reason and I think Oris did a masterpiece of Bauhaus style, much better than Nomos, notoriously minimalist

[@user-pm8uc5dc3e]

Future classic!

The Oris titanium ProPilot is quite simply a stunning design masterpiece. It’s like they just fired a cruise missile with a nuclear warhead into an opposing army of Stone Age warriors 😂 Im just a bit puzzled why Oris didn’t class and print Chronometer on the dial? Accuracy of +/-1 day is actually better than COSC and is incredible for a watch with an excellent long power reserve.

[@hmasas1]

Cool watch

[@rickjason215]

Did he mention the 5 day power reserve?

[@scottbrandon6244]

They also have it in a salmon (pink) color dial which looks very sharp.

[@steven821130]

Is it grade 5 titanium? If it is the usual titanium (grade 2? not sure) used in some cheaper watches like Seiko, I'm afraid that it is going to get quite a lot of scratches easily.

[@marvinberwart]

Have you ever had a Titanium watch? In my experience, it depends a lot on the finish applied. Titanium does scratch quite easily in theory but it is only noticable on polished parts. I sold a GS snowflake because it was indeed a scratch magnet but my Mark XVIII in bead blasted titanium looks brand new after several years.

[@yvesb1227]

@@marvinberwart Still, CrossCentury's question is "à propos" as Grade 2 is softer than Grade 5 which has better alloy combination. It might not be a question of scratches but rather a question of hardness.

[@marvinberwart]

@@yvesb1227 And which properties does hardness brings in a watch case? Resistance to scratches... Yes, grade 2 Ti is indeed a bit softer but as I stated, polished grade 5 like in a snowflake is very prone to scratches (visually noticeable) while sand-blasted grade 2, while softer, shows no sign of wear visually again. I'm an (amateur) knifemaker, so I'm well aware of what hardness and finishes in metal brings to the table. And I also believe that nothing replaces real life experience, I was personnaly convinced too that grade 5 was far superior before experiencing it and realizing there's much more than the theory in a real life scenario.

[@yvesb1227]

Thanks@@marvinberwart. I am happy that my comment has given you the opportunity to elaborate more on the subject. IMO, our feedbacks have given Cross Century (and every other readers) a full and complete answer on the topic, which is always one to properly consider when choosing a timepiece.

[@marvinberwart]

@@yvesb1227 Thanks too, for the rare occasion when common sense is the rule in a comment section and that we can all be relevant in our own particular way.

@@ModernandVintageWatches The dial is printed. It doesn’t compare to the GS dial. 5 day power reserve is terrific and the case is nice. It is not in the class of the GS, but it is also substantially cheaper than the GS. I would consider buying it, if I didn’t have too many watches already.

Spend 60K on an AP or 100K on a PP and you still do not have micro adjustment. Has nothing to do with price. Has to do with classic design

@@TimeAndCrown Oh, dont get me wrong, I really like your style, my apologies if I sounded like an ignorant imbecile. Its just how you sounded its entertaining and re-assuring (to me at least) and sets you apart from the run-of-the-mill we often get on YT with their clickbait nonsense. This is exactly what this YT segment needs, someone who sounds worldly, mature and experienced delivering a gentlemanly 'fine wine' expert assessment on a timepiece. I have little time for some of these young 'wet behind the ears' millennial watch 'experts', Ive surprisingly found 1 or 2 of them to be a bit cut-throat and arrogant in reply to not only myself but other viewers making perfectly innocent and sensible enquiries.

[@TimeAndCrown]

Hi David. I don't follow your point. Oris makes excellent bracelets - at least on their higher end watches. I own the Aquis Cal. 400 and the bracelet is Rolex quality. The bracelet on the ProPilot X is very comfortable. There's no micro adjust though.
