The heat of the Middle East serves as the ultimate runway for the latest revelation from Oris at Dubai Watch Week. The Swiss watchmaker has chosen this prestigious gathering to introduce the ProPilot Desert Edition which stands as a special iteration of their freshly updated contemporary aviation design. This launch celebrates one of the most loved designs from the brand while introducing a pronounced silhouette defined by clean and visually sharp lines

The aesthetic is defined by a grained sandbeige dial that draws direct inspiration from the colour and texture of the dunes. This visual warmth is encased within a 41 mm silhouette formed from lightweight carbon fibre. This material is produced using an innovative additive manufacturing and moulding technique that was pioneered in watchmaking by the engineers at Oris. To ensure superb legibility against the desert tones the brand has utilized high-contrast black hands and applied numerals that have been reworked to feel more modern and dynamic.

Punchy red detailing adds a shot of adrenaline to the adventurous profile of the piece. The crown and oversized bezel are crafted in stainless steel and finished with a grey PVD coating that perfectly matches the carbon fibre case middle. It sits comfortably on the wrist thanks to a black hybrid rubber and textile strap that features a new expression of the famous LIFT clasp. This mechanism has been redesigned to offer greater refinement and stepless adjustment to deliver first-class ergonomics even in hot and arid conditions.
