Oris ProPilot X Year of the Snake Limited Edition
The Oris ProPilot X Year of the Snake celebrates the Lunar New Year with a striking new edition inspired by the transformative qualities of the zodiac. Based on the ProPilot X Calibre 115, this limited-edition timepiece retains the robust, high-performance design that defined the original while incorporating bold thematic elements. With a 44mm titanium case, a skeletonized dial finished in vibrant cyan, and thoughtful nods to the Year of the Snake, this watch combines modern engineering with cultural significance.
The 44mm multi-piece titanium case with a 22mm interhorn width is brushed to achieve a contemporary, technical aesthetic while keeping the watch lightweight and durable. Known for its robust construction, the ProPilot X case is topped with a double-domed sapphire crystal featuring double-sided anti-reflective coating for optimal legibility. This precision-engineered case ensures a bold and functional design, perfect for both professional and casual settings.
The sapphire caseback reveals the intricate architecture of the in-house calibre 115, showcasing Oris’ technical prowess. Surrounding the display is a fluted edge, echoing the design of the watch’s bezel and enhancing the symmetry of the timepiece. A commemorative Year of the Snake engraving further ties this special edition to its zodiac inspiration.
It comes equipped with a screw-in crown, flanked by protective guards, enhances durability and reliability, while the integrated lugs are designed for comfort on the wrist. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).
The skeletonized dial of the ProPilot X Year of the Snake strikes a bold balance between functionality and thematic design. Set against the exposed hand-wound movement, the chapter ring showcases vibrant cyan finishing and is adorned with hour indices filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring excellent legibility even in low-light conditions.
Adding depth to the layout, the running seconds sub-dial is positioned between 7 and 8 o’clock, while a non-linear power reserve scale sits prominently at 3 o’clock, mirroring the dynamic energy of the watch. The exposed movement beneath the dial introduces a technical and industrial aesthetic, blending seamlessly with the case’s modern titanium design.
A playful nod to the Year of the Snake is found in the golden power reserve indicator hand, which is cleverly shaped like a snake’s tongue. Combined with the cyan and gold contrasts, the dial’s unique features amplify the watch’s thematic appeal while maintaining the ProPilot X series’ technical sophistication.
