Oris Unveils the New Oris ProPilot Date at Dubai Watch Week 2025
Oris touched down in style at Dubai Watch Week 2025, rolling out an updated ProPilot Date that feels every bit the modern tool watch while still proudly wearing its aviation stripes. Think refined cockpit vibes with a touch more swagger than before.
A New Flight Path for the ProPilot
The redesigned ProPilot Date keeps the familiar silhouette but brings a sharper, more contemporary punch. You get a 41mm stainless-steel case that’s rugged enough for the skies but neat enough for office hours. The dial — whether you fancy Chalk, Moss, or classic Black — has been reworked with crisp Arabic numerals, a more deliberate 12 o’clock marker, and a perfectly balanced date window now sitting proudly at 6.
It’s all crisp, clean, and wonderfully legible. Exactly what a pilot’s watch should be.
Mechanics That Mean Business
Inside, you’ll find Oris’ Calibre 733, an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW200-1. It’s reliable, robust, and delivers around 41 hours of power reserve. Water resistance is set at 100 metres, making it more than capable for real-world wear, and a screw-down crown helps keep everything sealed tight.
A double-domed sapphire crystal tops things off with anti-reflective clarity, while the caseback gives you a peek at the signature red rotor doing its thing.
Launched in the Desert Heat
Debuting this at Dubai Watch Week was a savvy move. The event has become a magnet for serious watch fans, collectors, and brands wanting to make noise without the Swiss formality. And Oris made noise — not just with the mainline models, but with a special Desert Edition previewed exclusively at the show. Lightweight case materials, sandy tones, all very “sunset on the dunes” stuff. Expect that one to land early 2026.
Why It Matters
It’s a proper tool watch with upgraded style and symmetry.
It stays true to the ProPilot identity while genuinely improving the formula.
It launched on one of the biggest global watch stages of the year — and stood out.
Winding Things Up
The ProPilot Date feels like Oris at its best: purposeful, charmingly understated, and built for people who actually wear their watches rather than worship them. It’s everyday tough, enthusiast-friendly, and just different enough to earn a spot in the weekly rotation.
