In support of the aeronautical charity Wings of Hope, Oris has created a 1000-piece special edition watch based upon its iconic Big Crown. Wings of Hope is a humanitarian non-profit organization that delivers “humanitarian programs around the globe to lift people in need toward health and self-sufficiency”. They claim to achieve this “by providing access – to health care, resources and support.”
This Wings of Hope timepiece has a classic white dial with subtle sage green numbering and hands. The sub-dial is minimalist and unnumbered with a red hand, adding a nice bit of contrast to the watch’s pallet. With 5-bar water resistance and a sapphire crystal case back, this watch is made to withstand daily wear-and-tear. The durable automatic Calibre 401 movement has a five-day power reserve and comes with a 10-year warranty.
In terms of watch sizing, the Wings of Hope Big Crown has a 40.00mm stainless steel case. The medium size perfectly suits the subtleness of its light-toned and minimalist features. To finish it all off, a textured, copper-brown leather strap nicely contrasts the white-and-silver centerpiece.
