These things are all important. And also quite serious. Along the way, weve tried to make a good deal of noise, too, about why we do things; why we make the watches we make.
The answer is always the same: were inspired by what we call the Joy of?Mechanics. The first function of every Oris watch, in the purest emotional, feel-it-in-yourbones sense, is to bring joy, to make people smile. Thats it. If an Oris watch can make someones day better, weve done our job.
For some time, weve been trying to find the ultimate expression of this and to make a watch thats pure joy. And then it hit us. A collaboration with the easiest guy on the planet: Kermit the Frog from The Muppet Show. Kermits role is to entertain, to put a smile on our faces. Hes been doing it for generations. Could we do a watch with him?
It turns out we could. And were delighted, grinning from ear to ear, and so proud to introduce you to the ProPilot X Kermit Edition.
Its based on our 39mm titanium ProPilot X Calibre 400, only its got a green dial C and a twist. On the first of every month, the date window at 6 oclock will be filled with a Kermit the Frog emoji. Kermit Day is all about not taking life too seriously. Having some fun. Were seriously unserious about it.
