I think Oris may have quietly fixed the jumping minute hand
on caliber 400 the new standard let's check it out
introducing the all-new Oris pro pilot x in full titanium and it definitely has
a Jekyll and Hyde effect first of all the build quality is excellent brushing on the angular sharp
dynamic case like all Oris watches is fantastic but when I first held it in the hand because
of the titanium and it's so lightweight it might feel cheap to you one of the employees
at Kavar jewelers held it and said no way and had a disappointed look on their face
so titanium is definitely going to turn off some people but for me it's the dial and this
might sound crazy because it's called the pilot x but there is no x factor here the
dial maybe is doing it I'm not 100 sure but when I hold it in hand I know it's quality I can tell
maybe because the dial is so flat and barren it kind of I hate to say it feels like a cheap watch
and when you stack on the lightweight feel no heft that adds to that cheap feel as well unfortunately
but it is not cheap coming in at a price of $4300 usd wow that's high but you know what
you're getting the caliber 400 the new standard an excellent movement that competes very well with
watches much higher priced and it's completely in-house from an independent brand 1904 Holstein
Switzerland there's a lot of pride in this brand you know what this watch reminds me of the VULGARi
octo finissimo that's what the Simpsons call the watch stores bvlgari sign they put vulgar
it's awesome now I know I criticized the dial for being flat and boring but I think
it was on purpose because the watch has many flat angular shapes just like an f-35
fighter jet so when we look at this watch as a whole from afar it is very cohesive and it stays
true to its theme throughout the one thing I love about the dial though is color play
looks like asphalt it has a pale titanium look that when you put it on an angle looks black
it changes color maybe like the titanium on a true jet the hands I think are beautifully done okay
they're highly grained they look rough beautiful I love that look and filled with black loom there's
nothing wrong with the hands it's just the dial I think it needs applied indices and maybe an
applied horse logo in line with that jet theme we do have a turbine bezel looks like the fans
of the engine beautiful and the same grip on that seven mil screw down crown has a clutch
system giving the watch 100 meters of water resistance now let's do those measurements
39 millimeters in diameter we have a thickness of 12.2 so nice and thin including that double
domed sapphire crystal anti-reflective coating on the inside no drilled lugs and a lug to lug a 40
7.2 bracelet 20 mil tapering down to 16. you get a nice dramatic taper and look
at that gorgeous bracelet catching the light with the flat broad edges it is solid and links
solid links with screwed links and it does have that airliner seat belt style clasp
sometimes you can close the seatbelt while handling and then it won't lock here
no matter what you do so you got to reopen it make sure it's flat first and then push in okay
you do get a little bit of extra thickness right at the pinnacle of the seat belt latch
caliber 400 is rated better than COSC but it's not officially certified plus
five minus three seconds a day 21 joules hack hand wind automatic 28 day vph five days power reserve
10-year warranty 10-year service intervals and it's adjusted to five positions
so it should do well and let's call it plus eight powerful amplitude no error
okay we are gonna do 12 down to see that positional variance and how is it going to react
on our wrist so plus eight dial up I'm expecting much lower now to hit that rating that they said
they hit plus five minus three okay ignore the first number at ten seven okay six much better
zero point zero b error very nice so no error amplitude is still unbelievably powerful
fourth and final round ignoring the first plus six let's go one more come on
plus six okay all right not bad okay there is the loom shot it's definitely one of the worst
I've ever seen in my life black super luminova my camera is struggling right now I don't know
if you guys can even see it when Oris released this movement and you were setting the date
the minute hand would jump and people were upset I think they added a gear to dampen that interaction
let's check it out let's set the time there was a hack before where you would have to pass your
intended time by five minutes go back and the jump would disappear but now you can just go forward
and it doesn't jump so I'm pretty sure they did an update with new movements there's always going
to be minor improvements over time and that is one of them so if you have one of the original
caliber 400s and you're worried when you do your 10-year service they're going to add
that extra gear no problem now if you want to buy this watch email me for a discount
