The New Oris Altimeter Rega Limited Edition Watch Review

Essentially, a specific item here is among the state-of-the-art - and coolest Pilot watches available on the market. No, it's not fitted having a super-high-finish movement nor will it feature probably the most spectacular design ever, but it is not the purpose. You’ve already learned about the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, a wrist watch we‘ve reviewed formerly. It’s the world’s first automatic mechanical timepiece having a built-in mechanical altimeter. Let's focus on an airplane pilot watch, that’s quite a fascinating feature. A couple of days ago, the company introduced a brand new version, the Oris Altimeter Rega Special Edition (caused by a partnership with Rega, Switzerland’s air save service) and what’s much better than an effective field-test, within the Swiss Alps, to see the altimeter function.

QUICK Details Concerning The ORIS ALTIMETER REGA Special Edition

A couple of days ago, Oris launched a brand new form of its Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, another way named the Oris Altimeter Rega Special Edition - so guess what happens to anticipate: an altimeter watch made in colaboration with Rega. Rega is really a private, non-profit air save service that gives emergency medical attention in Europe. Their telephone number is 1414 - several which you may bear in mind later on.

So what exactly is the offer with this particular special edition? 

Essentially, the timepiece is robotically and visually identical to the standard version. It's still 47mm across (a sizable size described by the existence of the altimeter function - not only with regard to it), having a 3-hands   date display. Her perfect pilot look with black dial, white-colored Arabic numerals and enormous luminous hands, a notched bezel, two large crowns (one for that movement, one for that altimeter) and it is operated by a Selitta SW 200-1 base. The evolution about this Special Edition is just visual

You will find 3 elements of design

That differentiate the brand new Rega Special Edition from the Oris Altimeter: a gunmetal gray PVD-coated situation guaranteed towards the wrist with a gray textile strap with red leather lining (rather from the non-coated steel situation along with a black textile strap around the standard version), a particular stamp around the dial at 9 (the Rega emblem) along with a dedicated engraving around the caseback. This Oris Altimeter Rega Special Edition is going to be restricted to 1414 pieces (you've now learned why…) and will also be costing 3,950 Euros / 3,950 CHF (retail cost, tax corporation.). It will come in two versions: one using the altimeter function in meters and something using the altimeter function in ft (the main one tested here). It's delivered inside a water- and shock-proof presentation box, a hallmark of Oris professional collections. It will likely be available on the market in March 2017.
