I love Oris. It was my first Swiss watch 30 years ago. So I bought this watch, the ProPilot Coulson. It features the Caliber 400, carbon fiber, nice strap, and a dial with applied numbers and markers, unlike most ProPilots, which are printed. I bought it in memory of my brother, a firefighter killed fighting a fire with Coulson trying to drop enough retardant overhead. I loved the watch.
Then, at a watch show in San Francisco, the CEO of Oris North America noticed that the date wheel on the watch had stopped working. Fortunately, I had registered for the 10 year warranty and the watch was only a few weeks old, so my AD sent it to Oris for repair. But even though I was in the database and registered, Oris refused to honor their warranty because I’d bought it online from a grey market seller (who had purchased it from an AD but sold it to me new).
In short, Oris decided to punish me, a paying customer who loves the brand, not the offending dealer. When I offered to pay for a repair, they refused. Their position was "why? Because we have the proprietary parts to the Cal 400, so f*ck you, that's why." I sent a detailed note to VJ Geronimo the Oris CEO who had spotted the stuck date wheel. He never replied. Fortunately, Watchmaxx honored their warranty and replaced the watch with a new one. I promptly sold it because every time I looked at it, I was reminded not of my brother, but of the shabby treatment that Oris had given me.
I still like Oris and will keep a S/G pointer date. But this was a heartbreaker 😢 and seriously annoying.
What a shame they treated you like this. Your story just made me reluctant to buying from Oris
Thanks for that note, staying far away from any calibre 400 oris for the time being.
3 D printed and Kevlar strap for $4500? Profit margins here must be insane
Somebody figured out how to make a watch whose product description uses all the right, but ultimately empty buzzwords.
@@adamfelker3493 he says 3D printed case
It’s gorgeous, and you had me right up until the retail price. As a limited edition, it has a limited edition price, and IMHO will be purchased mostly by the must have Oris fan. Most watch enthusiasts won’t pay that kind of money for this. If this were regular production at that price, sales would suffer. Cheers.
Same here. I'd really go for it but not at that price.
This was a really nice watch, it'a 3D printed but it's still a carbon case tho. Movement is also cool, and keep in mind these comes w/ a 10 year warranty which is amazing
Is 3D "carbon" really a quality material for this application-I saw some advertisements comparing its strength to aluminum?
Everyone in the comments is concerned with the price. Perhaps Teddy should find out how much is going towards Coulson’s firefighting cause with each purchase. Then it might make more sense.
4,500! GTFO! 😂. Companies are just openly calling us idiots at this point. Not even trying to hide it.
Exudes quality. Carbon fiber cases are costly to produce. Price no surprise.
I've looked at Oris for years and years, as well as being the owner of an AP, Rolex and Casio. This was one of the rare buys I made. It does the job of telling time incredibly well, while having a great design.
Personally, I really like the design of the watch. And the dial! That sunburst orange is very interesting. Now, I wouldn't buy it as my first or second piece in a watch collection. But, it really adds some diversity to an already existing collection. And it's backed by a 10 year warranty. You don't get any better than that.
Fair enough! Totally agree.
I absolutely love this watch. In fact it's my second favorite Oris of all time after the (Williams chrono Carbon fiber Extreme from 2016)
Very tempting indeed.
youre really into carbon fibre haha
Probably my favorite Oris. That dial is so sublime
Nice watch, and I'm sure it will sell, but £3400 is bonkers
Looks amaaazing. Unfortunately the dial reads a bit Swatch. A cool Swatch, but not a $4500 Swatch.
$4500? That's absurd. Looks like someone sprayed it with a can of Rustoleum satin black spray paint. What is that crud all over the outside of the crown? THAT'S the standard for fit and finish on a $4500 watch? Yikes. That's awful.
they missed an opportunity. they could have put orange lume instead of green
Nope.
The black date wheel looks sorely out of place
and the font used for the date wheel makes it even worse, I guess in terms of legibility pretending this is an actual useful tool for a pilot you can see the date ASAP because it sticks out like a sore thumb, but then again you don't care what the date is while flying.
I actually am indifferent about the font, but I’d like to know the scenario where a date wheel being obvious is necessary lol. Come on Oris, many microbrands are doing this on less than $800 watches
@@iamtheshaker I receive delivery trucks to a warehouse on the daily, and it's very useful for me to just check the date and time without pulling out an iphone from my pants so I can quickly record what time the truck is leaving and send them off. I can't think of any situation where the date wheel needs to be obvious and super legible.
Great video
my man watched a 8 min long Video in 1 min.. congratz you are my hero
Love this one. Great pop of colour on the dial and that 3D printed case with carbon fibre will help minimise any nicks and scratches on the case compared to a PVD coating that highlights the SS underside on the clasp.
Oris has a solid in-house movement but, unfortunately, I don't think the overall timepiece is worth that $4500 USD price point ($5800 CAD).
Thanks for sharing and hope 2023 brings you continued success 🙂👍🏼
Thank you for mentioning the variance outside movement specs, although wish I knew about this before I bought a calibre 400
I agree with most! The watch is very interesting and aesthetically pleasing. Not enough to pay full MSRP though. We all know it doesn't cost that much to 3D print the case. If I ever see one for under $1k on the used market. I may consider it then.
Do you think a steel case takes longer or costs more to make? :) I think you don't know much about manufacturing, most people don't. There is no technology currently that will print a case that is ready-to-go. It's a rough print that has to be refined and finished by hand, same as a steel case. I agree price is a bit high, you thinking this watch with an in-house movement is worth under 1k makes me think YOU are high ;) lol
@PoltergeistWorks LOL! I am quite high! High on life! I am familiar with manufacturing and its associated costs. Do I think it's worth more than $1k? Even $2k? Possibly. Just saying I wouldn't pay more than $1k for it. Which is fine because there is enough out there to satisfy all of our cravings. The case dial contrast is absolutely mesmerizing but.... I still wouldn't pay more than $1k for it, with or without an in house movement. Might change my mind if I see it in person and on wrist. Such is the way of life, so it goes...
@@PoltergeistWorksThank you for pointing out the fact that that guy is a Muppet. Everybody thinks they know what a price should be, and they have no idea about manufacturing costs, r&d, and other things that go into making something special. It's really annoying in the watch world that everybody knows what something should cost, because they can't afford, and or are too cheap to purchase something. If you don't like the price of something, they should simply just scroll by and go on to something else.
Why is this watch so expensive? It's not because of the used materials.
Thank you Teddy! I was thinking of buying this watch but I guess everyone has a point. You could really get a lot of other pieces from mainstream brands and independent on this price range.
From the distance it looks like a cheap Swatch. No, thanks.
Is it made out of titanium the frame
It's a handsome watch, but the date window is just wrong somehow.
$4700? What’s inside it gold?
I go with the grey titan Version.
Does the glass not go all the way around? Whats with the gap?
you can do.a review on GPS SEIKIO
Hey bro🙋♂🙋♂🙋♂...can you share some details about RadoTrue Square Automatic Open Heart. I really want to buy this watch.Is it worth buying this watch.?
I l9ve Oris timepieces.
It's an incredible watch....but the price is just stupid. In the luxo-world, that is a $2500 watch at best.
Teddy my friend my comrade I ask for all your subscribers when will you bring back the watch collector's anthem?
Having trouble reconciling carbon fibre and 3D printed.
I think the case finish looks like crap for that amount of money.
Imagine how would it look after wearing... poop emoji needed.
3D printing is cool and useful but is often a solution in search of a problem. Additionally, you're not getting the benefit of carbon fiber strength-With a run of 1000, there are better solutions.
The finish on that case looks worse than my $12 casio
what's the weight?
I really like Oris watches, but I feel like just like Kanye prices are getting to high
The buckle is like a knife: the edges of the bucle are sharper than a cheap plastic spoon, and they sits right in the wrist so if you spend a lot if time wearing this or any other pro pilot and typing, it will hurts.
No ways.
nope
*Looks like you have a chocolate milk mustache.*
thats a stupid price..wtf are they thinking
If it was made with the Sellita movement for about $2k it would be an interesting proposition.
Nice watch, hard $ell though.
Sorry but this watch looks like a 50€ one to me....but thanks for the great review-keep up the great work 👍
Asinine pricing. Just no.
why its 4500$ lol
Nice looking watch. No doubt about that.
But, not for for over $4k. No way! That is a $2K watch.
Nothing about this says, "This is a 4 to almost 5k watch." 🤷♂️
2,5K max.
Newsflash, nobody cares about your opinion. Lol
It's too big
$1500 watch.
👎
Honestly I don't find anything attractive about this piece. It's bland, mundane, nothing visually striking about it. That dial isn't spectacular and that plain black ia boring the life out of me.
Everything about this watch is bad, the pro pilot line can be bought in the 1-2 grand range on the grey market and it's an excellent watch for the price if you can handle the large size. The last few oris limited editions are huge misses.
