  ProPilot Altimeter

  Oris returns to the world’s first and only automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter, adding elevated performance and an innovative carbon-fibre composite case

  Rising to the occasion

  Higher, slimmer, lighter: Oris upgrades the world’s first and still only automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter

  In 2014, Oris became the world’s first watch company to introduce a watch that combined an automatic mechanical movement with a mechanical altimeter in a single watch. This year, the innovative ProPilot Altimeter is back, with an upgraded altimeter, a slimmer profile and a lightweight case.

  Since 1904, Oris has focussed on developing high-functioning watches that deliver real- world value. We’ve developed more than 280 unique calibres and countless watches in that time, 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 pilots, mountaineers, hikers and so-called “watchnerds” aspired to.

  Now, after a three-year project, we’ve made it even better. The new ProPilot Altimeter has an improved altimeter module, capable of indicating altitude up to 19,700 feet or 6,000 “The ProPilot Altimeter can indicate altitude up to 19,700 feet or 6,000 metres” metres (as before, there are two available configurations), where previously the scales topped out at 15,000 feet or 4,500 metres.

  The new watch’s case is in lightweight carbon fibre produced using an innovative process developed and perfected by our partner 9T Labs (see page 10), 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.

  These upgrades make the new ProPilot Altimeter one of the highest performing, most innovative watches we’ve ever created.

  How it works

  The ProPilot Altimeter is a high-functioning wristwatch packed with technical innovation. But it’s also a practical tool that’s designed to be simple to operate and use

  Wrist and reward

  The ProPilot Altimeter is a technical wonder. Oris product development engineer Richard Siegrist goes into the detail Richard, tell us a bit about yourself… My name is Richard Ipyana Siegrist, but everyone calls me Ipy. I’ve been Oris product development engineer for three years. I’m a timber engineer by education and in my free time I like working in my wood shop and truffle hunting with my dog.

  How did you come to work at Oris?

  I’d worked in product management, but I’d always wanted to go somewhere products are developed. When this job came up, I took the chance and applied. I didn’t come from watches, so I brought new perspectives and ideas. Personally, the challenge of working with such a small product with so much emotion was very intriguing.

  What does your role at Oris involve?

  I’m responsible for “materials” and coming up with new and innovative production processes, and materials or special coatings that can be applied to watch cases, dials, bracelets or even packaging. Sustainability is at the centre of it. My work provides material for the designer to use. If we have something interesting, the first question is always: “Where can we apply this and how does the customer benefit from it?” But because we’re working to such exact tolerances, sometimes good ideas have to be let go.

  If a designer has designed something you think is impossible to deliver, what then? That doesn’t really happen, because what I do comes first. It’s then my job to explain to the designer the possibilities and also the limitations of, for example, a specific new case material. We work very closely, so we have a constant exchange on every project.

  The new ProPilot Altimeter is an interesting case study: first, what does it do?

  It has an integrated altimeter, which means you can read the altitude up to 19,700 feet or 6,000 metres from the dial. Once you calibrate it correctly, you can check your altitude at any time. And of course, it’s a watch that shows the time and date, too.

  And what’s new about it?

  We wanted to evolve the existing model “We’re still the only company that has put an automatic movement and a mechanical altimeter in a single watch”

  Does anyone else do something similar? No, we’re still the only watch company that has managed to put an automatic movement and a mechanical altimeter in a single watch. There are other mechanical watches with an altimeter function, but they’re always hand- wound to avoid a rotor and therefore be able to connect the pressure box with the dial on top by going through the movement. Oris took another path by developing a second dial underneath the movement, which meant we could separate the altimeter from the mechanical automatic movement.

  Who would you say this watch is for? It’s for outdoor fans, who like to go hiking and be in the mountains; for pilots and aviation enthusiasts; and last but not least for “technical nerds”, who appreciate the ingenuity in this high-functioning watch.

  Case studies

  Oris partnered with 9T Labs for the ProPilot Altimeter’s case. The company’s Giovanni Cavolina unlocks its secrets 

  Giovanni, introduce yourself and 9T Labs... Hi, I’m Giovanni, co-founder and chief commercial officer at 9T Labs, a Swiss high- tech firm based in Zurich. We founded the company in 2018 and now have more than 60 employees and offices in Europe and North America. 9T Lab’s focus is on what we call the “climate neutral mobility of the future”, which means introducing the new design and manufacturing standard for stronger, lighter parts at lower cost and zero waste.

  Why did Oris approach 9T Labs?

  Oris wanted a watch made of lightweight, extremely strong materials, but in a new, innovative way. Watches produced using carbon fibre composite are two-a-penny, now. It’s become a bit boring, and the materials are not sustainable. 9T Labs was commissioned to use carbon fibre composites in a way never seen before: using sustainable processes and a unique “The ProPilot Altimeter case’s natural, tree-ring effect can’t be achieved with any other technology” design, with an artistic, natural pattern. The tree-ring effect provided an unusual challenge for this material; normally the challenges are based on where loads are applied. We collaborated with Oris’s design team to get the result. It worked out really well.

  How is the ProPilot Altimeter case made? 9T Labs developed a unique, all-in-one manufacturing solution based on “additive manufacturing and moulding”. 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.

  What benefits does the material deliver? It’s a composite of carbon fibre and a polymer called PEKK that has high mechanical, heat and chemical resistance. Together, they form a material that’s as light as plastic and that can be stronger than metals. So it’s low weight, high stiffness and high strength.

  And where else is it used?

  9T Labs’ technology is used to make parts for airplanes, satellites, cars, motorbikes, bikes and instruments used in surgery. Oris is the first watchmaker using 9T’s tech.
