Oris ProPilot X Calibre 400 Owner Review : Endearing, playful and precise

I discovered the Oris brand a few years ago on social media thanks to their Propilot Kermit. In my opinion, a marketing genius, the lime green dial with a very modern and angular case, but especially this little Kermit the frog head 🐸 that appears once a month to completely make this watch lose its seriousness. During a stroll in the 6th arrondissement to window shop, I pass in front of the store. Opportunity to physically see this watch and discover the work of Oris. I then discover 2 other very flashy models, the caliber 115 with its skeletonized dial and the laser with its multi-colored dial thanks to a laser treatment never before seen on a watch. The 115 and its 44mm diameter is too imposing for me. But the laser is wonderful. I discover at that moment, the rest of the watch: - an in-house automatic movement with 5 days of power reserve and a precision superior to COSC standards. - a full titanium watch that despite its 39mm diameter is forgotten on the wrist due to its weight and its contained thickness (9.5mm). - a case waterproof to 100m. - a very angular design reminiscent of the American F-117 stealth planes. This design exploited on every detail: case back, crown, bezel... But it was when I took off the watch that I cracked! By manipulating the folding clasp and its "lift" system reminiscent of airplane buckles, I had a crush. Could it be the memory of a childhood spent on Toulouse-Paris flights between my divorced parents; or simply the satisfaction of the clicks of its use as a fidget toy; I can't tell you. What I know is that I wanted it. Gift for my 30th birthday, the budget not being unlimited and preferring a watch with date, I took this magnificent blue dial for 2200€ and still under warranty for 7 years! 5 months that I wear it, it must spend almost half the time on my wrist. Not bad considering the 12 other watches in my collection… I had a problem with the bracelet one day, a blocked link without understanding where it came from. Perfectly managed by the teams of the Oris Montorgueil boutique, 3 weeks in the workshop (in the middle of August…) and it came back like new, the small scratches having disappeared by a gentle polishing and all entirely under warranty. I highly recommend.
