Green watches are the new thing these days and Oris has just unveiled something with collectors buzzing about. The Swiss company has put their aviation-based ProPilot collection and put a very cool flavor or twist to their collection as far as the environment is concerned. Having had a little time to play with this piece I can tell you it is by no means another pretty face in the crowd. The oris propilot x kermit edition watch is a fusion of style, content and an authentic dedication to ocean conservation.

The First Impressions that Do Count.

This watch immediately catches the eye. The titanium 39mm case is lightweight on the wrist, and this is well suitable to wear every day. Here is what is interesting though - the dial is not only green, but recycled ocean plastic. Yeah, you read that right. Oris collaborated to design something that would actually matter and look great at that.

During the day the green sunburst dial reflects the light very well. It changes to dark forest green in the shadows to a lighter and nearly glowing green in sunshine. The hour hands are sharp, white and hence, reading becomes easy even during a difficult light situation.

The Eco-Innovation Story

The peculiarity of this work is its environmental orientation. Other brands speak of sustainability but Oris translates that. The oris X bracenet 36.5mm green collaboration makes it clear that they are serious about cleaning up oceans. Both watches are fishing nets that have been reused and would otherwise litter our oceans.

The inside movement is the trusted Caliber 400 by Oris, which has 5 days of power reserve and an anti-magnetic serious protection. It is also COSC-approved and therefore, accuracy is not jeopardised at the expense of going green.

Daily Wear Reality Check

Comfort is most certainly a plus after 2 weeks straight of wearing this. The titanium construction allows you to hardly realize that it is present, even in lengthy working days. The oris big crown x cervo volante partnerships show up in the quality of the straps - it really is comfortable and well-wearing.

Waterproofing reaches 100 meters, which is appropriate in the swimming and daily life. The crown fits down easily and the entire package is strong but not large.

Cost Considerations

How oris aquis date upcycle concept demonstrates that being environmentally conscious does not imply that quality or style has to be compromised. It costs approximately 2,800 CAD, which is comparatively competitive to other Swiss works within this category.  

It is not a watch, it is a statement item, and it means something good and looks good. When you are in need of something special that has a story to tell, other than telling time, the Kermit Edition is all that.

Conclusion:

The Oris ProPilot X Kermit Edition is a success of a fun and entertaining but extremely well-designed watch with the #1 lime-green dial and the Kermit emoji on the date gives the watch a charming almost childlike personality, without compromising its technical capabilities, which includes a lightweight titanium case (measuring 39 mm), clean and smooth integrated bracelet, and the high-performance Calibre 400 with a five-day power reserve, a high level of anti-magnetic protection, and a 10-year warranty.
