What did Oris announce for the Pro Pilot Calibre 111?

The Oris Calibre 111 is a manufacture movement introduced in 2015 after a decade of work with the École Technique Le Locle.

This development marked the brand's return to in-house production following its 110th anniversary and thirty-five years away from making movements.

The mechanism relies on a single oversized mainspring that measures 1.8 meters in length to supply energy for ten days.

Power delivery cuts off automatically as torque falls after the reserve depletes, refining the construction of the earlier Calibre 110 for improved stability.
