Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 Watch With In-House Movement
The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Calibre 111 is finally the Oris sport watch I have been asking for. This is the first non-dressy or traditional watch (depending on how you look at it) to include Oris' in-house made movement. Oris currently has two in-house made movements known as the Calibre 110 and the Calibre 111. The former was released in 2014 as a limited edition (hands-on here) to celebrate the brand's 110th anniversary. One year later, in 2015, Oris released an almost identical Calibre 111 watch that was not a limited edition.

In-Depth: Four Complicated Rolex Models From The Past That Deserve To Be Made Again, As Seen In The
The longer one spends around the watch collecting world, the more one tends to be interested in early watches – typically those that pre-date the "modern era." What I mean by that is there is a clear division with many brands – Rolex, Omega, and Heuer, for example, all began naming watch lines in the 1950s and '60s: the Submariner, Speedmaster, Carrera, et al. But, the watches that came before these great lines of horology existed are fascinating not only because of their relative obscurity, but also because of their purity in design. In this story, I examine four watches all available in Phillips' Geneva Watch Auction Two that were made by Rolex, and they're all complicated. But, none of them fall under the category of a Submariner, GMT, Daytona, or Explorer. And there is real beauty in that.

SS Models Sighting...
For anyone looking for either a Sea Dweller or used GMT Master II (Pepsi), these are being displayed on the window of JUWELIER L��CKER in Aachen, Germany. The use Pepsi looks immaculate and they are asking 8,500 euro for it. It appears that it is in consignment to this AD. If it wasn't that I have just pull the trigger on a BLNR last week, I would have seriously considered this opportunity. There are also other SS models available and even a few Daytonas.
