The Oris is a simple beauty.
Nothing beats the Khaki Field Automatic for me, it looks great in any situation, has a super accurate movement, is built like a tank, it's super compact, and it's WAY cheaper.
I have a hard time between the two honestly. I own and love them both equally, my favorite between them can change any given day. The quality for the money is easily evident in both watches. The slightly more stylish Oris (IMO) does have a better all around movement, but that does come with a higher price tag. There is also the fact that Oris is one of the few Swiss brands to still operate independently and prices are going to be a bit higher based on that alone, but in turn that type of brand integrity alone is to many well worth paying more for the product, and we are talking more in the hundreds here not the thousands or ten thousands so take that as you may. There are those who aren't going to believe it's worth paying the higher price based on this and that's completely understandable. Either way for between 500-1000 you're not going to beat either one as an everyday and honestly IMO I don't think you can beat either one as an everyday at any price level. You won't go wrong with either so long as it's the watch that makes you happy. That's what it's all about anyway.
bought my first Oris 10 years ago, the xxl pointer day, similar pilot style watch, still one of my favorites. Oris designs just smell like testosterone and they keep their uniqueness, the aquis is the SKX of the Swiss divers, , simply one of the most underrated Swiss brands
Oris are great, totally underrated and understated! Great vid Jory
What about Hamilton
Hamilton field is half the price and pretty badass!
Hamilton wins every time.
Great watches for the money
The Oris is more attractive imo
@@BeeSawd Not if there's water involved when it comes to their field watches.
I agree with your choice of cordura. Goes better for an everyday kind of look. The leather still looks sweet as heel, but that's for dressing up maybe?
I’m loving Oris 👍
Just bought a Oris propilot date. 41mm. Wow. I couldn’t believe the quality when opened my box. I swear it felt as well
Built as my Tudor.
Did you get the new refined Propilot with the polished center links that came out around February or the older all brushed one?
hey time teller! great channel! this video and the last one about the propilot really helped me a lot, im trying to decide between this 41mm and the 45mm, i have a 7 inch wrist, i see this 41 fits great in your wrist, what size is it? what size would you recommend for me?
i have a 7.25. I like watches between 43-44. 45 is a tad too big for me, hope this helps
I am a huge Oris fan. My first automatic was an Aquis. Their Big crown pilot watches are amazing. I like the olive a lot. Maybe a more distressed brown leather strap?
I just bought and received today, a near mint 2017 Oris BC3 Advanced Day Date. It is stunning. My new favorite everyday watch. The quality & value is truly remarkable.
Uh... hate the brown leather, it's shiny no no no NO. The cordura is by far the better option, so your not wrong, your right!
Love my Oris but perhaps still a bit pricey for some, checkout Laco 1925 they do some cool pilots (with history) currently stalking an
Augsburg 42mm (auto, open case back and black) in the UK £300, so around $400 in green backs!
I love how the watch looks but I honestly don’t think it’s work triple a Hamilton khaki. What do you guys think?
I am watching you just because you are so happy all the time
😂😋😋😋😋👌
I love my basic timex day/date model with a nice chome case and a blue dial. Comes with a metal bracelet. I put a nato on it for when i need it more casual. And it is only 30 bucks
I have this exact watch and love it. Mine came with the Olive green textile strap with the same clasp. I, on the other hand, cannot afford really high-end watches and use this watch as my "go to town" watch. Every day use? Maybe for a wealthier person than I. As for me and my lifestyle, I will stick with the SKX or my Luminox series 200 for everyday rural life.
Jory- You are on a roll, my man. Two days in a row, two videos, No rest for the weary. Keep it up! Another very entertaining and humorous video today. I LOVE the cordura strap over the brown leather on a black dial watch.
I have a question. What is the criteria to be classified a "Pilots" watch these days? I have a Navitimer and that Oris doesn't compare to a Navitimer as a pilot's watch in my opinion. It looks like just another field watch to me.
Hi dude, you're definitely right, that cordura makes it a perfect combo for a daily !!!
Love your videos, and love Oris watches! The new strap is pretty awesome.
Great watch. I also like the Sinn 104. Hard to beat what you get for both watches at that price point
Sinn have got alot more expensive recently, still great style though.
Just pick a quartz as everyday watch. Much cheaper, so durable. Many of them are actually really cool too, such as the Victorinox Inox.
Im considering the Hamilton Khaki Pilot for my everyday watch. Thoughts?
No resale value for Hamilton
It's a good watch. I think it can make a great everyday ooption. Personally, I find the Hamilton Jazznaster Day Date to be the best everyday watch for someone who's attire varies between business casual to formal.
Great watch, great vid. Sinn 556 for me as the ultimate errrrrryday watch.
I have the Day Date version. Wear it everyday. I still get a buzz putting it on in the morning. Clean look and built like a tank.
Hey Jory, I’m curious if you’ve ever really considered Junkers before. They’ve made quite a few pilots watches, and has a ton of watch for money too.
thanks for the suggestion. never seen them before.
I think that the Seiko SARB033 is a better everyday piece. For me at least. Better size, amazing finishing, also black, safire cristal, 100m water resistant, elegant dial, a little bit of lume and costs only 300 bucks.
I would throw in the 035 as well. The white dial makes it very versatile. The sarb033 & 35 use hardlex not sapphire though
Both 033 and 035 have sapphire on the front and hardlex on the back.
gmansplit you are right. Thanks for the correction.
Yep, my most versatile watch. My Certina DS-4 comes close though
Great vid. I like the Oris on the Cordura. I think your suggestions are spot-on for everyday watches.
Have you tried a Stowa type A? It is also around $1000 and it is one of the original “5” companies that produced the iconic flieger watch.
I respect your opinion, but would suggest an alternative. Mido makes 2 watches that would be serious contenders, the Multifort and the Great Wall. Both come in strap and bracelet versions, offer day and date complications, and 100m WR with a screw-down crown. The Great Wall is a COSC chronometer graded ETA movement, while the Multifort offers a chronometer version. Both are 42mm - the Multifort also being available in a 38 or 39 IIRC - so slightly larger without being crazy, and they list for under a grand.
I daily the Oris propilot day/date with the black factory textile strap, and have it with the darker plated stainless. In love with this watch!
A friend has this watch. Its accuracy is phenomenal, maybe he got lucky, but it does not lose a single second in a whole month when compared to an atomic clock. He has the cordura strap but I also tried on the steel bracelet and prefer that, its light and really comfortable on the wrist. I agree that this watch is perhaps the best daily beater out there, value hard to beat. I don't like the notched bezel too much, somehow it looks a bit crude and does't align well with the lugs but thats personal taste. The dial is ultra legible, and well thought out too.. the important information is white and sticks out (hours and minutes) and the secondary information is more discrete so as not to clutter and distract (seconds).
I daily the day-date version. Great watch, legible, comfortable, goes with everything.
Same. Very solid watch.
For a cheaper everyday watch, what are your thoughts on the Hamilton Khaki king?
or the Khaki Field (ref H70455533) even a little cheaper and cleaner. HKK is totally dope though!!
I've had a BC3 Big Crown for 22 years and will never let it go. Absolutely bomb proof everyday watch.
The Oris Propilot is a very beautiful watch. Extremely elegant in its simplicity, masculinity and lack of clutter. I agree with many of the points of the other fans though, in that a Timex weekender, gets the job done for functionality; a Hamilton Khaki Field or a Khaki King, have some similar attributes, at around half the price, and my Seiko Alpinist is both rugged and slightly flashy but admittedly has a different aesthetic and is more of a niche taste in some ways. I'm glad you showed us this one though because it is a very cool watch, and is now on my eventual list, ( rather than my short term shopping list).
I also confess that I have a degree in Linguistics and teach English. At first I thought aspects of your accent were a bit extreme, then I got used to them, and now...I kinda like it. I guess stage four is to actually start pronouncing things like you do, which as an Australian teaching mostly East Asians and Europeans, may just confuse the hell out of them. Keep up the great work ! Don't be too upset by people letting off steam, as I am sure that a lot of us get a lot of enjoyment from your cool videos, and relentless positive energy.
You are really hilarious. You make horology more fun. Keep up the great work. And i think I can agree with you on this. I think we can never question the versatility of a cordura strap. It gives the watch a new life. Plus it makes it durable, dressy and can be matched with almost everything to carry as a every day watch.
Awesome choice bro!! For me I LOVE my Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic (H70455533) I can dress it up or down. totally comfortable ETA 2824 bone tough movement and a 100m water resistant watch. TOUGH, great looking, inexpensive, and versatile watch. Love your channel. Would love to talk watches in person!
This is a really great watch!!!!
What do you mean by "people like finding things to upset themselves"? I am upset by this!
Not really, I'm old and raised to have all my feelings bottled up inside me until the day I die.
Love Oris. The watch looks great on the green strap. Thanks for the video.
I liked the leather one best, especially if you're wearing it as a dress watch. Great job on the videos, love your energy!
agreed on the propilot being the best edc. soooooo versatile. can rock a nato, leather, or bracelet and it will look amazing
glad to see someone talking about the 41mm propilot or even just the propilot in general. def underrated piece in terms of the watch community hype on it.
Nice piece! I'm so into my Hamilton Khaki King, I have a hard time seeing anything else as a better everyday piece haha. I still rotate with my other watches though so maybe it isn't 🤣
You’re the best Jory.
I’m debating watches for my 40th Birthday and this is the top of the list currently, thanks for the validation.
Great cordura strap. I have my Hamilton khaki mechanical with a black dial on the same exact strap. Looks awesome.
Oris, best watch for the money period.
Longines Spirit seems a capable challenger.
I think all of your chooses are great everyday watches, you will never please everyone. I think the Oris looked good on that strap, or maybe an OD green or khaki of that same material. I ordered a black HR cordura for my Citizen PVD pilot watch and I am very happy, thank you.
Liking that cordura strap, nice and rugged like the Big Crown. I have been wearing my new Oris Heritage 65 since I received it one week ago and I love it.
Jory, we have very similar tastes in watches but your everyday watch should be whatever the hell you like to wear everyday 🤨 my every day is a Vostok Europe Almaz its huge 47 mm diameter and 17mm thick it’s freakin monster.. but I like it
Great video as always. You will never please everyone and that is good. That allows for discussions and interesting comments.
I tried on this watch at the AD and I found it to be thin and light to the point that I wondered about durability. It does tick all the boxes though. As for straps, I pick the cordura.
Whew, thought you wee gonna propose a Movado!
Would you still pick this watch. I really like field watches. Would you look at any other oris watch over this one today? I need a watch to wear everyday. Thanks
I wear this hyper-regularly. This is the go-to field watch for me.
Sinn 556a - boom, here you go! Sinn 856 for those with larger wrists.
my everyday watch is a G-shock, if i didnt need that watch for my job, id sport my SKX everyday. and on the crappy rubber strap, or upgrade it with a Turtle/Samurai strap. all the people that hate SKXes because it doesnt hack or handwind....... get a life.
SARB065, the pre presage automatic with the 6r15 is a pretty good cheap everyday watch imho. And i also think the Khaki King is a good idea.
To answer your question, I prefer the one with white stitching, my poljot has a black leather strap with white stitching…
I wear,a ProPilot 45mm on the bracelet. My wrist size is 8 1/2", and the watch is great. Easy to read (since I am 63, eyes are not the best) I would say try the ProPilot, best buy
Oris is an amazing brand. Perhaps the best value at their price point. But for me, the best all-around every day watch has to be the tried-and-true Rolex Explorer I.
This channel is awesome.
What do you think about the Seiko SNZG15JC for an everyday watch? For me it's a strong contender against my SKX007..
My everyday watch is a vintage mechanical hand wind tissot seastar diving watch. Outside is not perfect but inside is like new, just had it serviced and put a new crown on.
That ORIS on the olive strap is perfect man!
Do you own an eterna matic kontiki 20? if not you should still make a video about it. I would like to see what you have to say about it?
I just bought one like yours it and it is really great
Sinn 104 easily one of the best daily's
for me my perfect everyday watch must be sarb017 and gw5000.
How about doing reviews and or comparisons on world time watches. How unique is the Orient FA05 world time for the money.
Propilot 41 such an underrated piece...I've paired mine with a Fluco sand suede, highly recommend
Update us when you find that steel bracelet. The Oris looks like a heck of a value.
In my collection I have various Swiss and German watches,among them is Oris. While I do not have the their pilot watch, I think Oris produces some fine watches and are of great value. To answer your question, leather. I particularly like leather straps with deployant clasps or leather NATO straps.
Very neat & sensibly designed watch. Wish they did a quartz version thou, quartz is more everyday in my opinion.
Absolutely perfect. But what about the Orient Defender with that gorgeous strap? But yet another terrific vid/ review.
So happy you’re uploading at the older pace! I really love Oris as a brand. What do you think of Mido? Elegant, often overlooked pieces.
SARB017 with a cognac leather strap: anyday, anywhere, with any outfit it just blends in and stands out at the same time.
Super nice!! Only wish it was a tad smaller.
Oris MAKES a bracelet for it.
I enjoy your reviews. Have you ever reviewed Longines? I'm curious to know more about them.
This is indeed a great value-for-your-buck especially if you can get a nice deal (got one from AD for 25% off). I regret not getting the grey sunburst dial though... Sure the matte black is more pilot-like but that dial is relatively boring (compared to the silver grey at least). Regardless of which style though that bezel OMG lol
Nice watch. I like the Hamilton Khaki 42 more. At a 1/3rd of the price it’s a pretty killer alternative.
For looks that leather looks great! (Not saying it isn't tough) but I truly think the other strap fits right at home on that Oris, nice vid!
I think the Oris is a great everyday watch. These no such thing a a best everyday watch for everyone. The best everday watch is the one on your wrist. At one point my skx was my best everyday watch now my Omega Speedmaster is. It changes and people shouldn't get mad. You should have phrased the Oris video better maybe "The best pilots watch for 1,000 dollars", but it's really no big deal. Great watch, great videos. I'm glad you call it a watch and not a timepiece. Some people use that word like its going out of style.
T3- Dude, have to agree with the Big Crown ProPilot, though I'm still jonesing for the GMT. Cordura does it this watch amazingly.
Just bought my nomos 38 campus ref 735. Love it for my every day use ;)
I would rather go with the Sinn 556i ..... much better ...
@@MES1808NYC Hilarious that you think 38.5mm is too small. Do you weigh over 300 pounds?
Cordura Bro! Suits the Oris purrrrfectly!
Jory, what are your thoughts on the SARB033 / 035?!
I have just ordered a leather strap from Fin Watch Straps to replace the olive nylon strap on my ProPilot. I gave it a couple of months but have found the Oris strap to be incredibly uncomfortable and the watch just doesn't sit right on my wrist (7 1/4 inches).
Hamilton khaki king Champagne dial great for many different applications. Also for the price I think the Hamilton khaki pilot would be my choice. ETA awesome dial amazing Lume and the leather strap from Hamilton are superb.
Big fan of that watch, especially Oris.
The green olive looks perfect.
Hey man love your channel! Just bought the sarb017 last night. New to actually collecting watches (my wife usually bought them for me as I don't normally spend that much on myself). I'm looking for a good rubber/water friendly strap for when I vacation or am active. But at the same time I love the look of that mesh band that you had on in this video where could I find something like that and equality two tone Jubilee I've been looking for the last two weeks and could not find.
i use my GMT Master II for a every day watch, (i'm a mechanic) why spend so much money and not wear it?? the only thing i really don't like of the Rolex is that there "special 904L Stainless steel" its way way softer than many metals used on watches.
Timber land true about the Rolex metal. But let me tell you my friend, Rolex metal can be polished up about ten times before you can see the lost of metal. I have the GMT and Sub Date. And several other pieces in between. But my Rolex’s are tanks and perfect for edc wear. Anyplace, anytime. Pun intended lol!
I fully believe you, but that is the strange part. my Omega speedmaster never had it this extreme. yes it also has there scratches and stuff, but the GMT actually has deep cuffs (if that is the correct word) luckely i bought it to use it, so i'm gonna survive that as well. and in worst case senario... swapping the case is also possible ;). I was just very very dissapointed due to the whole marketing about the material.
Timber land absolutely correct in the worst case scenario would be a case swap. The 904L is probably one of the greatest marketing hype’s ever. Coupled with names like Rolesor lol. Their special blend of precious metals. Geeez these guys are good lol.
Yeah, I've ordered this cordura strap couple days ago and I'm just waiting for the delivery. It should look great with the Alpinist :)
Can’t have a brown strap everyday imo. Leather itself can’t be versatile imo cuz ur only limited to brown or black belts at times. A watch like omega seamaster Rolex submariner are everyday imo if u can afford them.
Love the watch, but personally it bothers me that the date window replaces the 3 numeral. Now, there aren't any watches that I know of that have a decent compromise between having a full circle of numbers and still including a date window. I wish it was somehow possible to move that date window further inside the number ring, thus getting a complete circle of numerals and a date window. Alas, it's not mechanically possible, without having compromise :/
Thank you! This looks like a fantastic watch, but I cannot accept the fact that any watch that is not atomic or GPS will always be not exactly accurate. Could you please do an episode about the perfect all around watch with GPS or atomic time? Thank you in advance!
i have one Oris watch, I love it more than any of my other watches
