Dubai Watch Week 2025 has become the runway for a masterclass in understated luxury as Oris unveils the new and improved ProPilot Date. This launch represents the evolution of a much-loved model that has been redesigned and upscaled to deliver uncompromising performance for the modern wearer. The ProPilot Date is a handsome and fit-for-purpose mechanical watch designed to be the ultimate companion for life's everyday adventures.

The story behind this timepiece is one of innovation rooted in purpose. The first pure aviation watch from the brand was the Big Crown Pointer Date of 1938 which was created when pilots asked for instruments they could use in flight. The ProPilot is the contemporary take on that classic design and retains the oversized crown and dial display while introducing a more aggressive and dynamic profile. The signature bezel fluting is angled to echo the turbines of modern jet engines.

The 41 mm case has been subtly evolved from the original with tauter visual lines that give the silhouette a sharper edge. Satin and polished finishes elevate the look further while maintaining a connection to its aviation heritage. Ergonomics are paramount as the new case wraps around the wrist with extreme comfort.

The dial has also received a sophisticated update with a textured finish available in black, chalk, or moss that echoes natural materials found in nature. Gently reworked applied Arabic numerals and lume-tipped hands serve legibility and beauty in equal measure. One final visual treat is the famous LIFT clasp which is now edged and chamfered to reflect the new case design.
