In an Edition limited to 1931 units, the newBig Crown D.26 286 HB-RAG Oris Limited Editionis a tribute to the famous aircraft that marked Aviation History forever: the Dewoitine D.26.
It is an exclusive airplane model that the Swiss government ordered to be manufactured in 1931 and which was initially used for pilot training and later as a tow. After a period of abandonment, it was restored and exhibited in the Swiss museum of Dübendorf, revered as a cult piece. Since 2015 it has taken to the skies again thanks to its acquisition by Hanger 31.
And, as a result of the ties that Oris has traditionally had with the world of aviation, the newBig Crown D.26 286 HB-RAG Oris Limited Edition. Following in the wake of the first models inspired by airplanes that were launched in 1910 and 1917, this is the youngest member of the Big Crown family that Oris presented in '38, a series equipped with a chronograph and legibility standards and with a larger than usual crown that allowed these watches to be manipulated with gloves, characteristics very suitable for use by pilots and that this new edition has wanted to maintain.
In addition to these details, theBig Crown D.26 286 HB-RAG Oris Limited EditionIt has retained the fluted bezel and central date pointer hand. On the other hand, it comes with a 40mm diameter steel case and brown leather strap. In addition, its green dial and special leather case are inspired by the finishes and materials of the D.26 cabin. As for its heart, it is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement.
