The new Oris Hölstein Edition 2025

Since 2020, Oris has marked each summer with a special release paying homage to its roots in Hölstein, the Swiss village where the brand was founded in 1904. These Hölstein Editions have become an annual tradition, offering something distinct. Whether it was the retro-cool Divers Sixty-Five Chronograph from 2020, the Big Crown Pointer Date from 2021, or last year’s black-on-black edition. Each one explores a facet of Oris’ design and embraces the brand’s independent spirit. For 2025, Oris continues the tradition. The new Hölstein Edition 2025 reinterprets the rugged Big Crown ProPilot through a stealthy lens while integrating unexpected, playful elements, but remains a tool watch at heart, reliable, legible, and robust.

The Oris Hölstein Edition 2025 builds on the foundation of the Big Crown ProPilot line, reimagined here in a blacked-out stealth aesthetic. The multi-piece stainless steel case is fully coated in black DLC. It maintains the familiar proportions of the series, measuring 41mm in diameter and 11.9mm thick, with a 100m water resistance rating. Signature elements are all present: the fluted bezel inspired by jet engine turbines, a screw-down crown, and a domed sapphire crystal. The screwed-in caseback reveals the in-house Oris Calibre 400 through a sapphire window; the display is framed by a luminous ring of Super-LumiNova, which glows in the dark for a subtle but playful touch, revealing “Hölstein Edition 2025” designation.

The dial of the Oris Hölstein Edition 2025 boasts a clean, no-date layout punctuated by black applied Arabic numerals and blackened hands, and the surface is treated with white Super-LumiNova that glows green in the dark to reveal an Oris Bear image between 3 and 4 o’clock, which is invisible in daylight and thus does not disturb the tool watch aesthetic of the stealthy-looking timepiece.

The watch is powered by the Calibre 400, Oris’s proprietary automatic movement. It delivers a 5-day (120-hour) power reserve via twin barrels, operates at 28,800 vibrations/hour, and is engineered for reliability, anti-magnetism, and long-term performance, earning it a 10-year recommended service interval and 10-year warranty. The movement´s finish aligns with the utilitarian, tactical spirit of the piece.

The watch is worn on a black textile strap lined in leather and fastened by Oris’s own ‘LIFT’ deployant clasp, also DLC-coated. Limited to 250 numbered pieces, the Oris Hölstein Edition 2025 is priced at CHF 4,150. For more details, please consult oris.ch.
