The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Big Date takes the pilot’s watch in a refreshingly practical direction: bold Arabic numerals, a prominent date at three, and a bezel whose angled fluting borrows from jet-engine turbine blades. It has enough cockpit character to distinguish it from a plain field watch, without making you dress around it.
The black-dial version is the straightforward choice if you want the strongest instrument-panel feel. At 41mm, this is also a useful alternative to the larger ProPilot models, though the broad dial gives it plenty of presence. The automatic Oris 751 keeps things conventional mechanically; “Big Date” here means an enlarged date display, not a two-disc complication. On examples fitted with Oris’s aircraft-seatbelt-inspired folding clasp, try its release and adjustment: that small piece of engineering is part of the pleasure of wearing one.
What owners love
- The dial is easy to read at a glance: large Arabic numerals, clear hands and very little clutter. The date at three is useful without taking over the dial.
- The turbine-style grooves around the bezel give it some character without making it look busy. Owners also appreciate the oversized crown—it is easy to grip and feels appropriate to the otherwise straightforward design.
