The new series comes with modest, relevant tweaks that enhance usability without altering the concept.
Oris is undergoing a complete overhaul of its collection, simplifying and modernising its icons. See what the brand has recently done with the Big Crown Pointer Date, the Divers Date or the Aquis Date. The new ProPilot Date is not a radical reinvention but a careful, disciplined evolution of a practical design the brand first introduced in the 2010s. Built on Oris’s long heritage of pilot watches (think the Big Crown Pointer Date lineage that began in 1938), the ProPilot family has been the brand’s contemporary take on flight-ready timepieces: oversized crowns, legible dials and an engineered bezel that nods to jet turbines. The 2025 update of the ProPilot Date offers cleaner lines, better ergonomics and just enough refinement to broaden its appeal without losing the no-nonsense purpose that defines it.
The new ProPilot Date measures 41mm in diameter but shifts the proportions: the case is slightly tauter, the edges sharper, and the finishes more deliberate. The thickness is a sensible 11.7mm, and the lug-to-lug is 49mm. Satin-brushed surfaces dominate the lugs and case body, while polished flanks add a contrast. The signature angled bezel fluting remains, an aesthetic and tactile link to the collection’s aviation DNA. Still, Oris has refined the angle and finish to look less decorative and more engineered. The oversized screw-in crown has been reprofiled for improved grip and usability, to be handled with gloves or bare hands. Water-resistance is 100m.
For the updated ProPilot Date, Oris simplified the dial colours and amplified the texture. Three options, black, chalk and moss, use a subtle, natural texture pattern that reduces glare and lends the dial an instrument-like presence. Arabic numerals are applied and brushed, hands are red, white or orange-tipped, depending on the dial option. A narrow raised dial ring and revised minute track tidy the layout, and the date window sits at 6. Super-LumiNova on hands and indices ensures nighttime legibility appropriate for an aviation watch.
The new ProPilot Date series uses Oris calibre 733, an automatic movement based on a Sellita SW200 (a clone of the ETA 2824). This time-and-date architecture, with Oris’s signature red rotor, indicates centre hours, minutes, seconds, with an instantaneous date, date corrector and stop-second. It delivers 41 hours of autonomy and is a tried-and-tested movement, a choice aligned with the ProPilot’s mission statement: dependable, serviceable, unpretentious.
Oris offers the ProPilot Date with a multi-piece stainless steel bracelet finished to match the case, closed with the brand’s updated LIFT folding clasp, now chamfered to echo the case lines, or on a suede leather strap that features a seamless-fit adjustment. Availability begins in November; retail pricing is CHF 2,150 for the metal bracelet and CHF 1,950 for the suede strap. For more, visit oris.ch.
