2. ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser: A technological beauty unleashed

Oris breaks new ground with the ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser, showcasing a shimmering dial produced using an innovative lasering technique. This timepiece is a testament to Oris’s commitment to independence, sustainability, and technological innovation. The unique lasering process applied to the titanium dial creates a three-dimensional effect, offering levels of technological beauty never seen before in watchmaking.

The dial undergoes a mesmerizing color transformation, from blue to green to violet, inspired by biomimicry principles found in nature. The ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser features a titanium case, bezel, and crown, coupled with a three-link titanium bracelet. The Oris Calibre 400, a five-day automatic movement with exceptional anti-magnetic properties, powers the watch. With a 10-year warranty and a dial that tells a remarkable story, this timepiece is a forward-thinking marvel.

3. ProPilot GMT: Back in a heartbeat with a high-flying style

Oris welcomes back the ProPilot GMT, designed for high-flying, timezone-crossing pilots. This new model features a stealthy grey-PVD-plated stainless steel case, a second time zone, and a pulsometer scale. The gradient red dial adds a punch of adventure, paying homage to Oris’s rich history of crafting pilot’s watches since 1938.

Legibility is a priority in pilot’s watches, and the ProPilot GMT excels with bright lume on the hands and indices against the high-contrast red dial. The watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement with a 42-hour power reserve, ensuring reliability during long journeys. Paired with a black textile strap with a red leather lining and Oris’s patented ‘Lift’ clasp, this watch is a stylish companion for the modern aviator.

These three new Oris watches embody the brand’s commitment to timeless elegance, technological innovation, and a rich heritage in watchmaking. Whether you’re drawn to the retro charm of the Divers Sixty-Five, the technological marvel of the ProPilot X Calibre 400 Laser, or the high-flying style of the ProPilot GMT, Oris continues to set the bar high for watches that transcend mere timekeeping – they tell a story on your wrist. So, gentlemen, the question is not whether you need one of these watches; it’s which one will be your next statement piece.

From fire to clay: anOrdain's porcelain revolution brings accessible artistry
anOrdain launches handcrafted porcelain watches

AnOrdain, a Glasgow-based company, built a loyal following—it made excellent hand-enameled watch dials and offered clear customer service. The Scottish maker then moved into a new material: porcelain. The company introduced its Model 2 Porcelain collection after three years of focused study. This collection gives customers a way to experience anOrdain's handmade dial art.
Work with porcelain began in 2022. At that time, anOrdain saw a need to broaden its selection. The company also wanted to keep its standards for handmade products high. Instead of buying porcelain dials from others, the company chose to learn this old art itself. AnOrdain's team spent three years with master potters from Stoke-on-Trent—a town known as a center for English pottery—learning how to make watch dials from English clay.
Making porcelain dials requires different methods than working with enamel. AnOrdain’s well-known grand feu enamel dials use glass powder on metal discs, which are baked at 840°C. But the new porcelain dials use English clay. Workers paint them with glass-like coatings and fire them at much higher temperatures, up to 1300°C. To achieve the black finish seen in the collection, the company experimented with many glaze mixtures, finally using a high amount of iron oxide.
After this hot firing, each dial shows slight differences. Small dips and dots appear as a sign of the handmade process. AnOrdain says these natural variations mean no two porcelain dials look the same. This celebrates the human touch in making fine watches.
The Model 2 Porcelain keeps the well-liked size and look of anOrdain’s enamel collection, but with some updates. The 39.5mm steel case holds the La Joux-Perret G101 automatic movement, which performs well. The hands have been significantly improved. White glowing material now fills loops that were previously empty, finished with fine gold frames. The seconds hand is more striking, with a bright red outer coat and a white tip.
Production capacity is small—anOrdain can finish about 30 pieces each month. The price is $2,440, which is $750 less than the enamel versions, even though they use the same cases and movements. The current wait time is six months, and customers can buy only one watch each. The Model 2 Porcelain shows anOrdain's commitment to preserving traditional crafts in modern watchmaking. It also offers affordable luxury through transparent dealings with customers.

Breitling honors Scott Carpenter with platinum watch
Orbital legacy: Breitling's platinum tribute to space exploration pioneer
Breitling scott carpenter platinum watch

Sixty-three years after Scott Carpenter circled Earth, a custom Breitling Navitimer sat on his wrist. The Swiss maker now honors him with a platinum watch, which has a limited run. The Navitimer B02 Chronograph 41 Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Centenary observes the American pilot's 100th birthday—it also recalls the story of the first Swiss watch to leave Earth's air.

On May 24, 1962, Carpenter became the second American to circle Earth. He flew as part of NASA's Mercury-Atlas 7 mission. A special Navitimer was on his wrist. Breitling altered it for space travel. The work began with a personal letter from Carpenter—he requested specific changes. He wanted a wider bezel for gloved hands and a stretch metal band for his space suit. Most notably, he asked for a 24-hour dial. In orbit, sunrise and sunset happen every 90 minutes. A regular 12-hour display does not show time well there.
