Oris is no stranger to bronze, utilising the material in its Divers Sixty-Five collection in both classic and cotton candy hues, as well as the Big Crown Pointer Date. Now, the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer is proving the metal is here to stay, with the Oris Crown ProPilot Big Date Bronze. With the elegance of a gold watch sans the high price tag, bronze lends a classic appeal to timepieces while possessing the ability to be rugged, a quality gold often lacks.

The warm tones of bronze translate well to the Big Crown ProPilot Big Date, with the patina that will form on the bezel and crown as time passes only working to add character. The bronze fluted bezel and signature oversized crown mesh well with the deep black dial and gold print indices. A true pilot’s watch, the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Date Bronze utilises white Super-LumiNova on the hands and hour markers, making for easy readability in all conditions. A hard-wearing Ventile strap further adds to the watch’s rugged appeal, while the olive green and bronze colour combination is a tried-and-true favourite.
The Big Crown ProPilot Big Date Bronze is available on the Oris webstore.
