The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 114 hosts the latest version of the brand’s hand-wound caliber with a 10-day power reserve. It can also show the time in zones that differ by 30 minutes as well as a full hour. We give it a closer look in this review from our April 2019 issue.
Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 114
Suppose we?re flying from Germany to India in the summer. During our flight, we reset the large white hands on our Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 114 three and a half hours ahead ? for example, from 12 noon to 3:30 in the afternoon. We also want to keep an eye on home time back in Central Europe, so we reset the slim, black hand with the red arrow at its tip to show CET as our second time zone. This can easily be accomplished by pulling the crown out to its middle position and then turning it clockwise until the red triangle points down to the little 12 on the scale along the edge of the dial. And suppose we want to keep track of this unusual time difference for a few days after we?ve returned home. To do this, we simply set the hand for the second time zone accordingly. For example, when both large white hands point upward to show that it?s noon in Germany, the slender hand with the red tip points to the dot halfway between 15 and 16 on the 24-hour scale, i.e., 15:30 (3:30 p.m.). To cite another example, when it?s midday in India, the hands on our main dial show that it?s 8:30 a.m. in Central Europe.
This type of hand configuration can be used to stay in...
