Royal Jewelers is an authorized Oris dealer in the Boston area and offers the Oris Propilot Altimeter with Oris's 3 year warranty. Meet the new ProPilot Altimeter, the world’s only watch to combine a mechanical altimeter with an automatic mechanical movement. This model is with feet scale. The second generation piece is better than ever: higher, slimmer, lighter.Higher: because thanks to a new pressure box, it can now gauge altitude up to 6,000 metres or 19,700 feet, depending on which model you go for. Slimmer: because we’ve upgraded the movement to the thinner Calibre 793, which also has a bigger 56-hour power reserve. The watch is 1mm thinner than the previous generation. And lighter: because its case is made of a pioneering carbon fibre and PEKK composite we’ve brought into watchmaking for the first time. The new watch weighs just 98 grammes, a drop of 70 on the outgoing model. The ProPilot Altimeter’s case is produced using a unique “additive manufacturing and moulding” process developed by our Swiss partner 9T Labs. This is different to normal 3D-printing, which is mainly for prototyping. We can industrialise manufacturing and use the technology to produce structural end-use parts at high volumes. This is a real breakthrough. Oris is one of a small handful of Swiss watch brands that makes only mechanical watches. A mechanical watch is a thing of beauty, designed according to principles that have been around for generations and will continue long into the future. Oris is constantly striving to make better watches that offer beautiful, innovative functions and advanced performance levels. For example, the in-house developed Calibre 400 Series of Swiss Made automatics promises a five-day power reserve, anti-magnetism and a 10-year warranty and 10-year recommended service intervals.
