I've been using this as my daily wear for about five months. The bracelet is amazing. It has a beautiful taper, and it conforms to your wrist perfectly. My only complaint with it is the seat belt clasp. The clasp works great, however, it does have a tendency to get caught on things and pop open. It doesn't happen often enough to make me never want to use it, but I did get a beautiful brown leather strap for it, and that's what I keep it on for the majority of the time. My wrist is slightly under 7" and I think it fits beautifully. I recommend this watch whole-heartedly. Great review!
Thank you for posting your observations on this beautiful watch. Mentioning your wrist size is helpful in that I have a small wrist, too. I am considering this watch but in a different configuration.
I own the blue ProPilot and black ProPilot on bracelet. The bracelet uses the same clasp.The applied indices are excellent. It is a great everyday wearer.
@Fletcher Hamilton it's a unadjusted base model selitta sw200. Any certified watchmaker can regulate it in 5 positions for around 40 bucks if needed. Just wish they used elaborate or top grade like most
What makes the blue dial variant really shine is the polished stainless steel hands. I had the black 41 mm variant and the white painted hands made the watch appear quite dull, at least to me. This blue one with the applied indices is really great.
I’ve owned one for a couple of years now on bracelet and it’s a great everyday piece. I actually went to buy an Aquis but walked away very happy with the propilot. Only complaint... I tried to purchase the textile strap separately and couldn’t believe the price. Literally could have bought a nice watch for the same amount. All good though- 20mm lug means heaps of options 👍
Hi Agree the Longines Spirit 40mm is a good new addition to their range. Very IWC inspired but with a very nice dial and Cosc silicon hair spring ETA 888.4 which should improve magnetic resistance. Finish is higher than normal aiming at IWC at 1/3 rd price.
Add me to the list of people who almost bought this watch on bracelet, with the applied markers in blue sunburst, which make this the one to go for. In person the glass seems quite reflective and the clasp does not have a lot of sizing options. Side by side the Longines Spirit 40mm felt a lot more premium and special. Came away confused and didn't get either on the day, and still thinking about it.
This Propilot & the Breitling Superocean 42 you just reviewed are both on my radar. I’m either going to pull the trigger on both or get the Omega Globemaster. Now if you could review the Globemaster. 😂
I was about to buy this a few months ago. I was at the AD trying it on but I had taken my Hamilton pilot day date with me and it’s just too similar so I ended up getting a Tudor 1926 39mm white dial with blue indexes
@@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 I love it. The bracelet is beautiful and the quality of the entire thing is flawless. The only minor complaint I have is the 21mm lugs but to be honest it’s not a big deal
I have absolutely no idea what color I should go for and if I should purchase the blue or the black version. I absolutely adore the blue in this video but I feel that it makes the watch a lot less versatile than it's black counterpart.
Great review 👍 I’m so tempted by one of these. Love the matching machining on the bezel and crown and the applied indices. I’ve heard people say the clasp is gimmicky but I think it’s really a fun touch (plus who’s gonna see it other that you?) I’m torn between a 40mm Divers 65 and one of these 41mm ProPilots as my first Swiss automatic. Gotta get out to an AD when things open up again here in the UK and get them on wrist.
wonderful watch - practical and attractive, but 49 mill lug to lug would make it wear too big for my wrist. Excellent strap and of course not forgetting the review.
Indeed a very nice watch with an innovating strap clasp. Very legible dial, the watch it self is at a very versatile size making it suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes. It does look like an IWC Portuguese case. The crown, although large, I would prefer an onion type, similar to IWC big pilot or the Zenith. In my eyes looks more like a field watch rather that pilot. Still, a very nice watch and past decade + Oris has come a long way. I see great models at affordable prices. I agree with the bracelet, I always opt for bracelets and get a few straps to match but the watch, unless strictly dress, the bracelet is a must. Great review Bob, keep it up and looking forward to the next, enjoy watches in good health:)
I love the spirit but the issue is that the lug to lug and lack of taper on it makes it to big for my wrist while the Oris fits better (17mm/6.7 inch wrist)
@@selaI3 I've got it on leather, not a fan of bracelets. I've got a 6.5 inch wrist and it wears perfect, no issues with lug to lug. Starting to think it wears a bit on the small side and not quite as big as its actual dimensions. Thre Oris is a great watch as well.
@@selaI3 highly recommended, my hamilton khaki 38mm has not had any wrist time since I got the Longines and that was my favourite watch. You should definitely try it on again as it's a great watch. It's so comfortable on the wrist, nothing negative to say about it.
I've owned both. The Seamaster has much better movement, case finishing, dial/hand/indices finishing, is more versatile and wears better. Both have great bracelets but the Seamaster wins with the better clasp. The Seamster also more than 2x the price of the Aquis. The Aquis is great for what you can get it for used, but it's a step below the Seamster in every dimension.
@@mariog7213 If you plan to keep it long-term it is an issue. Especially if you get the bracelet option as it will over time scratch the crystal when you lay it down.
I really like Oris watches although they are too costly & delicate. Oris states that you should not wear them when; playing tennis, shooting, ATVing, golfing, mountain biking, anything with shock or concussion loads, nothing magnetic, etc.
@@mariog7213 CZcams will not let me upload a video link. Here's one quote: "The average male golfer swings a driver at a speed of around 90 mph. When the driver hits the golf ball off of the tee, it sends a shock up the shaft of the golf club to the golfer’s hand, and then to the watch. The forceful impact can cause the hairspring to jump and parts to become loose, leading to the sorts of malfunction that require a watchmaker to properly correct."
Maybe as I have aged I realise more now how much in the watch world you get raped on price by the big players?What is special about that Oris? Because its called an Oris right? Run away and save some cash guys.
With the exception of the bracelet, this kind of design is basically as good as it gets for me. Simple, legible, attractive.

Is it a screw down bracelet or push pins ?
@@downsouth1678 It's pin and collar, unless they've changed with recent models.
I own the blue ProPilot and black ProPilot on bracelet. The bracelet uses the same clasp.The applied indices are excellent. It is a great everyday wearer.
How is its timekeeping? I’m giving thought to this one, but I’ve never ventured into ‘Oris’ waters before. Is it within ten seconds a day?
@Fletcher Hamilton it's a unadjusted base model selitta sw200. Any certified watchmaker can regulate it in 5 positions for around 40 bucks if needed. Just wish they used elaborate or top grade like most
Just bought one with the steel bracelet, very happy, especially with the price!
Where did you buy it ?
You've definitely had a few watches with interesting clasp systems on recently. Very cool

Beautiful watch. Oris is top notch in terms of design and finishing of their watches.
I absolutely LOVE this watch....soooo nice!!
Man this watch is very nice very elegant! 💜, i will definitely buy an oris 🙂
Nice newer version with applied markers! I believe the day/date versions are larger with a 45mm case size.
Newer is 44 with newer applied indices better lume 1 mm smaller a hair thinner and bottom of case has a polished bevel.
Really nice timepiece!

What a stunner, thanks for showing it
Very detailed review!
I’m interested in this watch for my next acquisition
One of Oris’ nicest IMO
Nice review. Big fan of this watch and Oris in general. Only wish the blue dial was available with the brushed, not polished, bezel.

Very similar to IWC mark XVIII le petit prince, but as you said, 3 times cheaper
I just realized that this is the same case as the Pointer Date, just a little different finishing.
Beautiful and elegant!
Great Video brother! Love this watch or Conquer watch took inspiration from the bezel
Precioso Reloj ⌚ Oris.👏👏

why not save up for a used/like new iwc pilot.
@@oaoaoas Never really considered them, but you are right, perhaps I should. I do like applied indices though, and the IWC are printed, aren't they?
@@saulysw yes... But they are so crisp and clean. It looks like you can reach in the dial and grab the hands.
This Propilot & the Breitling Superocean 42 you just reviewed are both on my radar. I’m either going to pull the trigger on both or get the Omega Globemaster. Now if you could review the Globemaster. 😂
Beautiful watch
Very nice! Ton of colors!
I was about to buy this a few months ago. I was at the AD trying it on but I had taken my Hamilton pilot day date with me and it’s just too similar so I ended up getting a Tudor 1926 39mm white dial with blue indexes
How do you like the 1926?
@@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78 I love it. The bracelet is beautiful and the quality of the entire thing is flawless. The only minor complaint I have is the 21mm lugs but to be honest it’s not a big deal
Really nice details for a watch that you can get for like 800. I dig it
I have absolutely no idea what color I should go for and if I should purchase the blue or the black version. I absolutely adore the blue in this video but I feel that it makes the watch a lot less versatile than it's black counterpart.
Love the size of this and it having a date. Hate people always wanting the date gone. I work for a living I want a date window.
Thinking about this or the Longines Spirit, wonder if the Longines is worth the higher price?
Great review 👍

If they made a 38mm small Pilot or something I’d be all over it
Yeah, if it looks good on his wrist so it certainly won’t on my 6.75.
wonderful watch - practical and attractive, but 49 mill lug to lug would make it wear too big for my wrist. Excellent strap and of course not forgetting the review.
Can I get this exact watch w/white tipped second hand, in a black face?
Yes
Perfection.

hi Rob! these applied indexes are made from stainless steel or they are molded?
Rob do you know when they released this watch? Recently right?
For a little bit more money I'd recommend the Longines spirit 40mm over this.
I love the spirit but the issue is that the lug to lug and lack of taper on it makes it to big for my wrist while the Oris fits better (17mm/6.7 inch wrist)

its very funny how did you show your watch, what was that????
I almost got this one a few yeas ago. FM.
What is the Power Reserve??
RR: Oris Aquis/Hangang vs an Omega. Is an Omega sea master a better watch? Why?
I've owned both. The Seamaster has much better movement, case finishing, dial/hand/indices finishing, is more versatile and wears better. Both have great bracelets but the Seamaster wins with the better clasp.
The Seamster also more than 2x the price of the Aquis. The Aquis is great for what you can get it for used, but it's a step below the Seamster in every dimension.
thanks for the lume shot, whats bgw9 ??
nvm I googled it lol
Ok. Just superluminova brand white during day and cool blue in dark.
@@RandomRobReviews thanks for quick response and great review
anti reflective on both sides ?
На задней крышке вместо заявленного сапфира - пластик. Проверено.
Is that a true sunburst dial ?
How's the +- / day?
This or the Monta Noble
10 bar?
Put this on a polished bracelet and you have a beautifull Oris dress watch!
A mineral crystal display back is poor at this price.
It’s a non issue really
@@mariog7213 If you plan to keep it long-term it is an issue. Especially if you get the bracelet option as it will over time scratch the crystal when you lay it down.
@@mariog7213 couldn’t agree more. I’ve owned this piece on bracelet for a couple of years and back mineral crystal is unmarked.
FIRST!
@@mischak3654 damn, how’d u know
I really like Oris watches although they are too costly & delicate. Oris states that you should not wear them when; playing tennis, shooting, ATVing, golfing, mountain biking, anything with shock or concussion loads, nothing magnetic, etc.
That's why I strive to one day own a nice Omega. They practically encourage that behavior while wearing their watches
Where does Oris say this?

That's the same for every mechanical watch though
That goes for almost all mechanical watches.
Oris? Looks more like a Lorus.
