Oris ProPilot Hölstein Edition 2025

Each year, Oris celebrates its founding with a bold Hölstein Edition release, and 2025 is no exception. This time, the ProPilot series receives a dramatic twist with the first-ever full-lume dial in the collection. While last year’s Divers Sixty-Five Hölstein Edition introduced a DLC-coated case with retro flair, this year’s release combines that stealthy case treatment with an unexpectedly playful luminous display. Limited to just 250 pieces, the Oris ProPilot Hölstein Edition 2025 fuses utility, whimsy, and horological refinement in a highly distinctive summer debut.
Crafted from stainless steel with a black DLC coating, the case of the Oris ProPilot Hölstein Edition 2025 measures 41mm in diameter and 11.9mm in thickness. The surfaces alternate between matte and brushed textures, offering a stealthy, aviation-inspired look in keeping with the ProPilot design language. Sharp lugs integrate smoothly with the textile strap, and a coin-edge bezel surrounds the luminous dial for added grip and visual contrast.On the reverse side, a screwed-down caseback bears a custom engraving unique to this Hölstein Edition, featuring a stylized Oris bear illustration. This whimsical detail not only celebrates the brand’s playful spirit but also serves to distinguish the watch within Oris’ annual commemorative lineup. The black DLC coating extends to the caseback, completing the all-black aesthetic from every angle.
It comes equipped with a screw-down crown tucked neatly between protective guards at 3 o’clock, ensuring robust handling. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides safeguards the dial while maintaining optimal visibility in all conditions. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).
The standout feature is its full-lume dial, a first for the ProPilot collection. Appearing matte white under daylight, the entire surface is made of luminescent material that glows green in the dark, offering high visibility and a striking transformation after sundown. Blackened hands and applied indices remain legible in both lighting conditions, ensuring functional clarity amidst the dramatic visual effect.One hidden surprise is revealed only in low light: the glowing silhouette of the Oris bear’s face, subtly placed between the 3 and 4 o’clock positions. This playful “mystery bear” motif adds a whimsical touch to the watch’s otherwise technical demeanor, in line with the Hölstein Edition’s tradition of humor and creativity. The black hour and minute hands, along with the sweeping seconds, cut sharply across the glowing dial for high contrast.At the 6 o’clock position, a subtle inscription reads “5 Days,” referencing the power reserve of the in-house calibre 400. This text also remains visible in darkness, cleverly integrated into the full-lume display and serving as a practical and aesthetic detail.

The “Oris ProPilot Hölstein Edition 2025” (Ref#: 400 7803 4781-Set) is powered by the in-house automatic movement, calibre 400, with 21 jewels, 135 components, and a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz).

Mounted on this watch is a black textile strap with leather lining, secured by a matching black DLC-coated clasp. The 41mm case and slim 11.9mm profile make for a comfortable and modern fit on most wrist sizes, offering a stealthy yet playful presence both day and night thanks to the glowing full-lume dial.This Oris ProPilot Hölstein Edition 2025 is produced as a limited edition of just 250 pieces, marking the brand’s annual tribute to its founding anniversary with a bold, luminous twist.
