Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter

[logan2z]

I have no real use for an altimeter in my watch, but I think this is a pretty cool release from Oris.

Oris is killing it. That looks terrific.

I saw it in person at Oris AD. The size is ridiculous but the watch did look cool.

47x17 is pretty huge.

And those huge protruding crowns. The whole thing looks like a giant instrument on the wrist that can't be worn as an everyday watch. Their regular Pilots from the same line are very pleasant

I particularly like the textile strap it comes on.....does anybody know what the lug width is on that model?

Neat looking watch but I'd still prefer to beat up a Citizen Altichron for $400.

If it was only 42 or 44mm....

I like the bezel. That's an interesting texture.

looks great. Oris is killing it on both land and sea.

Jason must have reasonably large wrists, but also I think he really knows how to frame his shots for great perspective.

I just picked one up, myself. I have not really had a chance to test it yet. Going up in a small (un-pressurized) plane this week, and that will be the true test. It seems like the yellow altimeter indicator moves around on its own, which I'm not sure if that is normal...I'm a little skeptical about the altimeter, when I was driving through mountainous terrain (going up and down by >100') I did not get any indicated altimeter changes.

When you think about it, you don't really have any need for a watch in your watch.
