The Oris ProPilot X Year of the Snake Limited Edition is inspired by the spirit and colourways of the Chinese zodiac animal. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake symbolises wisdom, wealth, agility and intelligence. The zodiac also has five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
2025 is a wood year, which is associated with growth and new beginnings, and represented by the Chinese colour cyan. In keeping with this theme, the sinewy, snake-like structure of the Oris ProPilot X Year of the Snake Limited Edition’s skeletonised dial is finished in cyan, giving it an elegant energy that complements the muted tones of the watch’s brushed titanium case and bracelet. Inside it is the Calibre 115, Oris’s in-house-developed hand-wound movement that offers a 10-day power reserve and a patented non-linear power reserve indicator, here elevated by a golden hand that takes the form of a snake’s tongue. The case back is finished with special engravings signifying the Year of the Snake.
