If you’re here, you may already be on the waitlist or perhaps you’re keen to. Should you bother, is it worth the agonizing wait? What exactly does $375 buy you? Let’s find out
Check out the review here! Oris ProPilot, my bronzed beauty22/1/2022  In 2021 Oris released a version of their Big Crown ProPilot date watch in bronze. I don’t know about you, but I felt it very much flew under the radar. It’s not a flashy watch, it doesn’t scream look at me and one could also argue that the bronze craze phase has perhaps passed.

How did the team cope with a small crisis and what's the finished product like? Read my full review here.  The Alpinist was brought back to life in the 1990s under the prospex line and now has an inner bezel compass complication and a crown at the 4 position to operate this feature. The model I have in for review today is a far more recent, well loved and worn 00E1 A6 with the 6r15 movement and it’s in my favourite version, the green and gold. Check out the video review here.
