Oris has introduced their latest pilot?s watch, a limited edition entry in their longstanding ProPilot line made in partnership with the Tactical Leadership Programme, a pilot training school based in Albacete, Spain. The TLP was founded in 1978, and is a training ground for NATO allied coalition forces in preparation for tactical air operations. This is by no means the first pilot?s watch to be associated with a flight school (IWC?s Top Gun series comes immediately to mind) and the connection might not mean much to the average enthusiast unless they have a crossover interest with aviation, but it underscores the very real connection that these tools have certain niche groups who rely on them while performing tasks that are literally death defying. To that effect, Oris is making a version of this watch available to graduates from the TLP that can be customized with their name, graduation year, and a limited edition number. The rest of us will have to make due with the stock version, which is a handsome enough tool watch on its own merits. Let?s take a look. 
The key feature of the TLP Limited Edition is certainly its green dial, in a shade that calls to mind military uniforms and has been chosen by Oris to match the flight overalls worn by TLP pilots. Depending on where you start counting, we?re either deep into the second year of the green dial revolution, or it?s just starting to hit the mainstream. But it?s no doubt a trend, and it feels natural in the context...
