Oris has launched a special limited edition to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Okavango Air Rescue (O.A.R.), an aeromedical service provider in Botswana, Africa. Featured in the Big Crown ProPilot collection, the green dial and strap are personalized with a green dial inspired by the nature of the Okavango Delta.

The Oris Okavango Air Rescue Limited Edition is produced in the same size as the previous Big Crown Proplot Big Date. The multi-piece assembled stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter and, together with the screw-down crown, guarantees a practical water resistance to 100 meters. The front domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides and the collection’s signature comb-patterned decoration, inspired by the turbine blades of aircraft jet engines, are unmistakably visible on the bezel and crown.
The green textured dial with irregular irregularities also catches the eye. Drawing inspiration from the deltas of Botswana and Okavango, I tried to capture the image of the South African prairie in my own way. Also, it is impressive that the gradation process becomes darker as it goes outward. The Arabic numeral index including the bar-shaped hour marker is not a simple coating method, but white color Super-LumiNova BGW9 Grade A paint is injected into the index frame and hardened, so that it emits a more vivid blue light in the dark when luminescent. do. Of course, Super-LumiNova is applied thickly to the hands to ensure sufficient readability anytime, anywhere in accordance with the pilot fake watches concept. And the date is displayed through an aperture (window) at 3 o’clock on the dial.
And I signed a khaki green colored textile (fabric) strap that matches the dial. It is a so-called military strap that was supplied to divers and parachute special forces in the French Navy through a partnership with the strap manufacturer Erika’s Originals. MN (Initials of Marine Nationale) style strap fastened. Previously available in the Oris collection, the Carl Braiser Caliber 401 Limited Edition. On the khaki green woven nylon background, a white color stripe inspired by the color contrast of the dial is added to give a point, and the unique hook-shaped clasp and length adjustment loop of the MN strap are made of steel, the same material as the case. In addition to the green textile strap, an interchangeable brown-colored cowhide NATO strap is additionally provided, and the special package that includes a roll-type leather travel pouch instead of the usual box package is also eye-catching.
The movement is equipped with the Oris caliber 751, which is a modification of the automatic base of Selita (SW220) (frequency of 4 Hz, power reserve of about 38 hours). Instead of exposing the movement by using a screw-type steel caseback, the shape of an airplane operated by doctors from the Okavango Air Rescue (O.A.R.) team is engraved in the center of the caseback with the Okavango meadow in the background, adding to the specialness. You can also check the limited edition individual number engraving (XXXX / 2011) at the bottom. The limited edition quantity (2011 pieces) was created by Swiss businessman Christian Gross and German medical doctor Misha S. Kruck to make up for Botswana’s poor health care system. ) is the year in which it was established.replica watches
