An evolution of the world's first and only mechanical altimeter watch Flying higher, while sitting slimmer and lighter on the wrist, Oris has upgraded its ProPilot Altimeter — a simple, yet high-functioning practical wristwatch tool packed with technical innovation, which remains the world’s first and only automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter. Since the brand's inception, Oris has developed more than 280 unique calibres and countless watches, many of them offering pioneering, useful, easy-to-use complications. The ProPilot Altimeter continued that tradition by accurately relaying the time, air pressure and altitude via a single dial – entirely mechanically. Full of innovation, it became a watch that pilots & mountaineers alike could depend upon. And after a three-year project, Oris has made this unique tool watch even better. The new ProPilot Altimeter has an improved altimeter module, capable of indicating altitude up to 19,700 feet or 6,000 meters — a 25% increase over the previous generation. Furthermore, this new reference is built around a lightweight carbon fiber case produced using an innovative process developed and perfected by Oris manufacturing partner 9T Labs, a spin-off from the prestigious ETH Zurich University (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). It houses Calibre 793, a slimline automatic with an improved 56-hour power reserve that sits inside a case 1mm thinner than the original. Specifications: Case: 47mm single-piece carbon fibre case, grey PVD-plated titanium bezel and caseback Dial: Black with altitude scale on dial ring in feet Sapphire Crystal front, solid titanium caseback with engraved altitude conversion scales Movement: Oris 793 (automatic with time & date, mechanical altimeter with elevation scale in feet, maximum altitude measurement: 19,700 feet) Power reserve: 56 hours Water Resistance: 100 meters Strap: Textile strap with brown leather lining, grey PVD-plated titanium folding clasp with fine adjustment system
