The Oris x Bamford Watch Department Limited Edition 'Mission Control' represents an extraordinary collaboration between Swiss watchmaking excellence and the innovative creativity of BWD London. This exceptional timepiece, limited to only 250 pieces, redefines the boundaries of contemporary technical watchmaking.
At the heart of this special edition is the legendary Oris ProPilot Altimeter, the world's only automatic watch equipped with an integrated mechanical altimeter capable of measuring and displaying atmospheric pressure and altitude. BWD has masterfully reinterpreted this technical instrument with a bold, space-age aesthetic, creating a timepiece that is as much a precision instrument as it is a work of art on the wrist.
The 47mm case, crafted from multi-layered carbon fiber with grey PVD titanium elements, conveys a significant yet balanced presence. The domed sapphire crystal on both sides, with an internal anti-reflective coating, ensures perfect legibility of the black dial, while the grey PVD titanium case back is embellished with special engravings that underscore its exclusivity.
The Calibre 793-1 automatic movement offers a generous 56-hour power reserve and houses comprehensive functions: hours, minutes, central seconds, instantaneous date with a rapid corrector, and a fine-tuning device with stop-seconds. The technical fabric strap perfectly completes the watch's avant-garde character.
Each piece is delivered in a special presentation box that highlights its uniqueness, confirming this Oris x BWD's status as a contemporary collector's item. With 10 bar water resistance and a 23mm lug width, this watch combines professional functionality and distinctive design in an object that represents the future of high-end technical watchmaking.
The price of 8,100 USD reflects not only the exceptional technical complexity and limited availability but also the prestige of a collaboration that has succeeded in creating something truly unique in the contemporary watchmaking landscape.
