Oris Introduces the ProPilot X Caliber 400
Last year, Oris added another layer to that message with the somewhat surprising announcement of the caliber 400, an Oris-owned movement with a suite of specifications and features that offered something well beyond what many expect from the value-oriented brand. Five days of power reserve, 10-year service interval, 10-year warranty, improved accuracy. Oris has worked on their own movements before, but caliber 400 is different. It’s a next-generation workhorse that will serve them well for decades to come. It also represents a jump in the ever-increasing autonomy race. Most ébauche-powered Oris watches give around 42 hours of power, compared to the 70-odd that has become the new industry normal. Caliber 400 betters that standard by a significant amount and is, to my mind, one of the most exciting, potential-filled mechanical developments the Swiss watch industry has seen for a few years.
With the ProPilot X Calibre 400, these two developments converge — and boy, do they come together in style. Cased in titanium, coming in at 39mm (down from 44mm) and in three different dials, this new take on the ProPilot X is made to win over wrists in a big way.
