Introducing the Oris 57th Reno Air Races Limited Edition

September 27, 2020 by Matthew Catellier Leave a Comment

Oris 57th Reno Air Races Limited Edition

The STIHL National Championship Air Races and Air Show, held yearly in Reno, Nevada, is one of the biggest events of the aviation world. Fans, pilots, staff, and volunteers were disappointed to learn that 2020’s September festivities were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The happy news, however, is that the event’s long-time partner, Oris, continued its tradition of producing a limited edition watch to support the world’s fastest motor sport.

Oris became the Official Timepiece Sponsor of the Reno Air Races in 2018, but the brand has been tied to aviation since the 1930s, when it first started producing watches specially designed to fit elegantly over pilots’ gloves.

Design and Technical Details

The Oris 57th Reno Air Races Limited Edition is a grey PVD-coated version of the Oris Big Crown ProPilot, a collection with cockpit-ready functionality and aesthetic. This one looks beautiful. The strap is made of black textile with blue leather lining, and a grey PVD-coated stainless steel folding clasp. The watch features center hands for hours, minutes, and seconds, as well as an additional 24-hour second time zone and circular date window functions. It also has a fine timing device and stop-second. You’ll also be able to read this watch in low lighting thanks to the Super-LumiNova luminous material on the hands and applied numerals.

If you decide to purchase the Oris 57th Reno Air Races Limited Edition, you’ll also receive a certificate verifying its authenticity. It will arrive in a special presentation boxes that’s a keepsake in and of itself.
