Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II Watch Watch Releases

Back in 2013, Oris Watches Lazada Replica first collaborated with Australia’s Royal Flying Doctors Service, with the product of their initial partnership being the Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition watch based on the 44mm dual-crown Big Pilot series. Now, the watchmaker and the non-profit aeromedical service providing airborne medical care for Australia’s vast remote regions release the new Oris Royal Flying Doctor’s Service Limited Edition II, an updated and refreshed model. It’s a rugged 45mm automatic pilot’s watch based on Oris’ successful Big Crown series with a printed pulsations track for ascertaining a patient’s heart rate and nods to the organization throughout.

Based on the Oris Big Crown series, the new Oris Royal Flying Doctor’s Service Limited Edition II, at 45mm, has a slightly larger three-piece stainless steel case, one crown at three o’clock (the previous version had two crowns), and an updated pulsations track on the bidirectional rotating internal bezel designed for improved ease and speed of use. The new pulsations scale is measured over twenty heartbeats as opposed to the previous edition’s thirty heartbeats, which allows for a quicker determination of a patient’s pulse.

This works by rotating the bezel so that the beginning of the pulsations scale is aligned with the seconds hand and then counting twenty of the patient’s heart beats. At the twentieth heart beat, the tip of the seconds hand will be pointing to the patient’s per-minute heart rate on the pulsations scale. The majority of doctor’s watches with a pulsation complication function by means of a chronograph seconds hand and a stationary pulsations track printed around the dial where we so often see a tachymeter scale. Notably, this new version has a water resistance of 50 meters, down from the 100M water resistance of the previous version.

To provide a context, the 1997 Oris Worldtimer was notable because the hour for the local time could be adjusted back or forward in one-hour increments with pushers in the caseband. This meant that one could adjust time without having to pull the crown out and stop the watch. Additionally, it comprised a patented mechanism whereby the date would keep track in either direction. Therefore, if you used the pushers in the event to move back several hours and moved beyond midnight, the watch would automatically move the date backward as well. Overall, for somebody who spans timezones often, this meant you could correct the local time with a series of quick presses of the correct pusher and not be concerned about carrying out a date wheel or synchronizing time to the moment. You can see why this recipe hasn’t changed for 20 years.The observant reader may have noticed that the new Oris Big Crown ProPilot Worldtimer doesn’t possess the two pushers anymore. The hour hand for the local time is now corrected via the coin-edged bezel on the watch. Time remains put in one-hour jumps together with the bezel and it is bi-directional, meaning that turning the bezel counterclockwise will produce the time displayed jump backward (including the date wheel as required). While there is nothing wrong with utilizing pushers or the crown to set the hour, there’s a simplicity to this technique that is very appealing. To me, this is not a situation of being unique to the sake of uniqueness but an intuitive, practical approach.Aesthetically, there are a couple of changes from the preceding Oris Worldtimer (that has lived in the Artelier collection) besides the lack of pushers. The day/night index, date, home time, and running seconds functions all remain, and it’s still at its heart, a large, legible, functional pilot watch. At 44.7millimeters in diameter, this isn’t a little case but it ensures that the dial has good legibility despite the amount of indexes. So far as the Oris Big Crown offers go, this sits at the middle size-wise, since the range has watches from 41mm around 47mm. The case is stainless steel with a multi-part construction that is mostly brushed. The notable design feature is that the bezel using its coin-edged finish that’s complemented by the big, ergonomic, fluted screw-down crown. The coin-edging makes certain that the bezel has enough grip to make the time alterations an easy job to perform, but I also think it gives the watch an interesting look that matches it well. There is a screen caseback and the watch is rated to 100m of all water-resistance.

The internal bezel features the organization’s logo at the pulsometer’s zero point, and the solid caseback has the logo engraved at its center, rather than the partial exhibition caseback of the previous model. The dial indices and sword hands are coated in Super-LumiNova and the rotating bezel ring can be used for tracking of a second time zone or for the pulsometer feature. Powered by the Oris cal. 735, based on the Sellita SW 220-1, the new Oris Royal Flying Doctor Service Limited Edition II watch’s movement operates at 28,800vph with a power reserve of 38 hours.
