Introducing The (Very) Green Oris Propilot X Kermit Edition (Live Pics)
The edgy ProPilot X line was upgraded last year with the Calibre 400 to power the popular series, distinguished by a straightforward, contemporary and technical design. Calibre 400, the in-house automatic movement with 120 hours of power reserve and chronometric accuracy, was presented in 2020 and demonstrated how seriously Oris was implementing its Movement Creation Programme. It was expected the Calibre 400 would equip the brand’s mid-range models; still, the 2022 editions of ProPilot X Calibre 400 came as a pleasant surprise.

And to be honest, it is a very welcome addition, broadening the range of the collection further and further. Like we mentioned in the previous artic
