Oris ProPilot X Kermit Edition

Of all the characters we were expecting to see on a luxury watch, we’re not going to lie, Kermit the Frog wasn’t particularly high on that list but now that we’ve seen it, we’re glad this unlikely sounding timepiece saw the light of day. We’re talking of the Oris ProPilot X Kermit Edition Watch that is available to buy from Hodinkee and which will add a bonkers but brilliant twist to any luxury watch lineup.

01 400 7778 7157-Set – ProPilot X Kermit Edition

The Oris ProPilot X Kermit Edition Watch has a price tag of $4600 and it is a super cool horological tribute to the world’s most famous frog. What’s not to like about that and the vibrant colourway of this wonderfully eye-catching timepiece? Designed to bring the fun back into watch collecting, Oris has teamed up with the world’s best-known and beloved frog to come up with a joyful edition of the brand’s ProPilot X in a vibrant shade of green.

Taking its aesthetic inspiration from the easygoing and playful nature of The Muppet Show’s own “Everyfrog,” this special edition watch captures a sense of fun while not going down the gimmick route. The bright lime green dial is visually vibrant, but the design resists any over-the-top references to the collaboration, which makes for an understated, elegant, and highly wearable watch – with an amphibian twist.

The tiny Kermit is housed in a 39mm titanium case and boasts an impressive water resistance of 100 metres and a power reserve of 120 hours – making it a highly-functional and fun-loving watch that will be a great addition to any collector’s lineup. Through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, you can see the automatic Oris Calibre 400 in action, equipped with five days of power reserve and anti-magnetic technology.
