The Oris Pro Pilot Kermit is one of those watches that do not go unnoticed. It combines Swiss watchmaking tradition with an unexpected touch of colour and humour, proving that haute horlogerie can also be fun without losing technical rigour. This special edition has quickly become one of the most recognisable and talked-about pieces in the Oris ProPilot collection.
With powerful aesthetics, a high-performance mechanical movement and a very particular story behind it, the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit perfectly represents the brand's independent philosophy.
A watch born of collaboration and creativity
The Oris Pro Pilot Kermit was born from the collaboration between Oris and The Muppets, specifically with Kermit the Frog, one of the most iconic characters in popular culture. Far from being a simple aesthetic licence, this union reflects shared values such as optimism, authenticity and independence.
The result is a watch that maintains the technical DNA of the ProPilot collection, but introduces a surprise element that makes it unique: the characteristic Kermit green colour and its timely appearance on the date, creating a different experience for the wearer.
Design of the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit: strength and detail
At first glance, the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit stands out for its robust 41 mm stainless steel case, inspired by aviation. The fluted bezel is reminiscent of aircraft engine turbines, a direct nod to the aeronautical origins of the ProPilot collection.
The matte green dial is one of the main features of the design. It is not bright green, but a deep, elegant shade that adds character without being garish. The large Arabic numerals and luminescent hands ensure excellent legibility, one of the hallmarks of pilot's watches.
The most iconic detail of the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit appears in the date window: on the 1st of each month, Kermit subtly appears, adding a playful touch that surprises and reinforces the personality of the watch.
Mechanical movement and performance
Inside the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit beats the Calibre 400, one of the most advanced movements developed by the brand in recent years. It is an in-house automatic movement designed to offer high standards of precision, reliability and durability.
This calibre stands out for its five-day power reserve, its resistance to magnetism and much longer than usual maintenance intervals. In addition, Oris accompanies this movement with an extended warranty, reinforcing its commitment to long-term quality.
The case back is transparent, allowing the movement to be appreciated and an additional detail that connects again with Kermit, closing the circle between technique and creativity.
The ProPilot collection: aeronautical spirit
The Oris Pro Pilot Kermit is part of the ProPilot family, a collection inspired by professional aviation. These watches are designed to be functional, durable and comfortable, designed for demanding everyday use.
The textile bracelet with a “Lift” clasp, inspired by aircraft seat belts, reinforces this aeronautical identity and adds comfort and lightness to the whole. Everything about the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit is designed to combine design, ergonomics and character.
A watch with its own personality
Beyond its technical specifications, the Oris Pro Pilot Kermit is a watch that conveys an attitude. It is a piece designed for those who value mechanical watchmaking, but are also looking for something different, with identity and a sense of humour.
This model proves that a watch that is technically serious need not be aesthetically predictable. The balance between watchmaking rigour and creativity is one of the great strengths of this special edition.
