Introducing the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Rega Fleet LE
The Low-Down
Oris continues its successful run with the Swiss Air-Rescue Rega, with a very specific limited edition. The privately run non-profit organisation, which was founded in 1952, operates a fleet of 21 aircraft. Last year was particularly busy for them, as they organised some 16,000 missions and provided assistance to 11,00 people and repatriated 140 Covid-19 patients via jet ambulance. Oris honours the organisation with 21 Big Crown ProPilots, one for each vehicle in the Rega fleet.
IMHO
With 18 Airbus and AgustaWestland helicopters, Rega is well placed to support general and high altitude medical rescues and patient transfers across Switzerland. Their three Bombardier Challenger jets gives them a global capacity. And when it came to designing a watch to celebrate this fleet, Oris turned to the people who fly, crew and support these aircraft. The feedback? An ultra-legible design, minimal glare, a GMT and a pulsometer.
