    Oris ProPilot X eye candy

    Remember this one? Made quite a stir by the end of 2019 with it's 'Tesla Cybertruck' design. One landed on my desk this weekend so I snap a few pictures, not really enough of them online besides the ones from press days. Super light watch BTW, feels almost like nothing on the wrist.

    I like that a lot. There’s a hint of Zenith about it’s aesthetics to my eyes

    Great pics of what should be a game-changer for Oris: it's one of very few watches I've seen repeatedly pop-up in non-watch social media feeds. I don't normally like skeletonised watches - most look contrived and lack homogeneity of design - but this I really like. I'm hoping enough sell that I can pick one up at peak depreciation - 'cos I certainly can't muster the retail (albeit I feel it's fairly priced for what it is).

    I really dislike skeleton watches.

    But the that's lovely. Thanks for posting the great pics.

    I appreciate the comments guys, thanx a lot.
    Now this watch was seen and is on it's default titanium bracelet. Witch is great, very light and executed fantastic, but I kinda wondered how it would look on some other straps. Here is a bunch

    Thank you for this, I wasn't so impressed by the watch on social media posts, but your idea to show on a variety of well chosen straps really shows the versatility of the design. It looks really cool and seems to be great value considering the prices from the competition for similarly specced watches

    Can I ask how big your wrist is? I really liked the look of this when it was announced, but my gut feel was it was going to be too big for me at least.

    Probably the first photos I have seen of this one without it's bracelet, had no idea it would be so versatile! Once again great photos!

    Even more great shots thank you! I prefer it on the camo straps over the bracelet, can you share who makes those camo straps please?

    I normally don't like skeletonised watches , but that does look good

    Great pictures .

  18. #18
    It's amazing how quality 'photos can steer an opinion. I wouldn't normally look twice at that (skeletonised and open-heart watches aren't my thing) however, on each and every strap shown, that is looking mighty cool.

    Thank you Guys for your comments. And I was also surprised how cool it looked on some of these straps. And the weight, it's just bonkers light.

    Sure, my wrist is about 7 inches

    I got mine from tempomaterials .com
    And this model can take any 22mm strap no problem. My favorite was on that IWC green canvas strap I have, It has that military vibe. Such a good color combo.

    That is just superb. This model’s launch had just passed me by totally. My first Oris perhaps?!

  22. #22
    Absolutely awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed your pics. Absolutely right about the green IWC strap, OP, that looks incredible.

  23. #23
    Seen one on Saturday more expensive than I was expecting, lovely though.

    Huh. Same as mine. I'd written it off as too big for me when it was announced but looks fine on you.

    Now you're giving me some thinking to do!

    I'd buy one but there are others on my list at this price range that need to be purchased first.

    Nice to see it on different strap combos, really is versatile.

    Wow. Somehow this one passed me by - it's a cracker. I'm not normally much of a fan of skeleton watches (I find them overly ornate and fussy) but this one is super modern and looks wonderful. I also love the faceted bracelet and the blue lume. The first Oris since the original Pro Pilot GMT that I've really had the Want for. Lovely. Also, great photos, OP - thank you for posting. :)

    Interesting pics without the bracelet.
    I was quite interested in this when it came out and got the local AD to give me a call when it came in. However with the bracelet it was a bit too big and bulky, though still light due to the Ti.
    Might be worth going back again and trying without the bracelet as it looks a lot better.
    Without the bracelet is a fair bit cheaper also !

    It’s a nice looking watch and the first skeleton dial I have liked but the bracelet makes the watch
    I am not keen on it without.

    Great photos! Looks really good. For me, I find that skeleton watches always look better in photos than in the flesh, maybe this one is different, I hope so because it looks great in the photos!

    This has a £5995 UK RRP but c £4k is doable and it is totally worth that. I really love the watch but being honest would rather pay the extra £2k and get the Ming 19.01.

    I was in a jewellers recently and the sales guy was keen for me to try this on. I had no idea it was that kind of price and immediately dismissed it as skeletonised watches just do nothing for me. However I was impressed at how light it was even on the bracelet - which actually seemed a little sharp edged and uncomfortable tbh. I must say it looks good in your pics on the straps though

    Impressive piece but over ambitious for this brand at this price point so will be a difficult sell, will not do any harm as a "look at what we can do" piece though.

    Hmm, might be interested to know how £4K could be doable?

    There is one from a german dealer currently at £4.4k. A bit of negotiation (or a F2f negating chrono24 fees) and job done

    Is that one not on a strap rather than the bracelet? Think you would really want the bracelet for this watch.

    I quite like that but it’s pricey and given zenith seem to get discounted deeply and often perhaps I’ll go that route .

    Lovely looking watch. I agree with others that the zenith offering looks very similar- perhaps we are seeing the start of a new trend ?

    Tried this on today - many of these types of watches do not work because they were never designed to be Skeletons - this is and I think it therefore has very legible hands.

    Would not pay list as discussed but the right deal...

  47. #47
    Great photos - I really like this. As said it is designed to be skeleton and no darn wrist hair views either!, Want to try it on ASAP!

    I'm not a fan of skeleton watches but I'd have to say the other attention to detail on the bracelet, crown, bezel and dial is excellent. (as are your photos)
